What One Dance Can Do...(Great Expectations!)

Now I don't know about you but I will happily admit that growing up I loved the film Grease starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

I loved the film so much in fact that a boyfriend bought me the video as a present and I was so cuffed and I took it as a sign he really knew me! Lol

There was just something hypnotic about John Travoltas' hips and even now when I occasionally catch the film on ITV, I swoon! :-D

John Travolta and his dancing was seriously hot back in the day (no scientology for me… not even Will Smith could get me to believe in Aliens, NASA maybe but L Ron Hubbard, nope!).

So anyways back to the topic…

I think a lot of ladies (I'm not sure if it's the same for men) will probably agree that there is nothing more appealing than a man that can add 1 foot plus the 2nd foot and equal 100! (On the dance floor)…

I mean there is nothing more appealing than a man that can dance …and dance well! (Two step or Migrane Skank does not count!)

You only have to watch Strictly Come Dancing with all its relationship rumours and whispers of affairs amongst the professional dancers and their partners to know what one dance can do…

I mean John Travolta in Grease was not doing anything new; he was doing what many entertainers, performers, show men (Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Genuwine, Usher, Justin Timberlake/Beider) had done before him…

…They were planting a seed… an idea… a theory even …

…that Great dancing = Great **X!

I mean there are dances and then there are DANCES! And I think every woman remembers a great dance/dancer whether it was just the one dance or you took it further and tried to prove the theory…

There is no denying what one dance can do!!

So my BDSS'rs what is your theory about what one dance can do, and also have you tested the theory? What were the results?!

Ugly women vs Pretty women

I was reading an article the other day, that was asking the question, of whether pretty women have less desirable personality traits, compared to less attractive women (disclaimer: obviously attractiveness is subjective).

It discussed the idea that pretty women did not have to make as much of an effort to be or to come across as personable, while less pretty women have to go all out (including in the bedroom!) In order to compete or perhaps to compensate for a lack of gorgeous looks.

Along with the article I also watched the recently released, Queen latifah film called "do wright" which centred around two women and one man.

One pretty with a less than great personality and one less attractive (according to the film!) Queen latifah being the less attractive of the two physically but in personality she was wonderful.

Still she didn't immediately get together with the love interest in the film (Common...love him!), although she won him round in the end. After he was dumped by the prettier woman.

Also in addition to the above film and article, I have had conversations where people have sworn off pretty women/good looking men due to negative experiences with them.

Myself personally I've never correlated a persons personality with their looks....so I can't say that I have noticed any connection.

But as its addressed in the film, in my conversations with others and in other articles, I'm thinking that their might be some truth in it.

So in your experience bdss'ers have you ever felt this? Do you see this happening? Are prettier women much more stuck up and stooch compared to less attractive women?

Is the same true for men?

And is it solely down to looks?

Breaking Up Is A B*#ch!!!!

I was watching the Cheryl Cole interview with Piers Morgan on saturday and the part where she talked of her divorce from Ashley Cole got me thinking that: Breaking up no matter what the reason for the break up - is tough. She seemed really fragile still when talking about it despite her continued success.

Have you ever been through a break up! Do I even need to ask? I'm sure everyone would have been through at least one.

Whether its that first love relationship break up from your teens or one where your much older, wiser and mature. Break ups are often painful, make you feel like crap (even when you know breaking up is the right thing to do!) and the killer, you always go through a phase of questioning yourself and your sanity! Whether you will ever be happy again (of course you will!) It absolutely sucks! It can take you to a dark, morose place.

I hate break ups! Although not more than being in a bad relationship (I would never recommend that), they are a necessary evil, you go through the process in order to move onto the "next chapter" whatever and with whom ever that maybe.

break ups can make you feel awful.

One day you feel like your coping, and then the next you keep on recounting nice times and places, his face errggghhh...its so annoying! Lol! Its like self-inflicted torture.

Is it better to adopt a Cee-Lo Green attitude a "f u" attitude to see yourself through the rough patch.

Or maybe its better to adopt a "It didn't work out but I wish you all the best" attitude.

The point of the post is to ask, have you bdss'ers been through a break up? How did you feel? And how did you get over it?
