During a break from the titillating stimulation of dead white men like Sir Francis Bacon and Mr. Winston Smith*, a side conversation at the salon:
Him: "So, what's your favorite male, angry dance moment in an 80's movie?"
Me: (inquisitive, befuddled brow, clearly (though I couldn't see myself) since he had to give a patient example)
Him: "For example, mine's Kevin Bacon - when he does that angry gymnastics dance in the warehouse in the movie Footloose."
Her: "Right. And mine is Emilio Estevez's detention dance in The Breakfast Club."
Me: (smiling) You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you. That's why I love you both, dearly. "I'm not sure.."
**Technically Winston Smith isn't dead, but come on! The bullet's coming any day now, right?

That is a very specific request! I dearly love boy dancing, but am coming up blank. I'm more embarrassed about that than I perhaps should be.
