Halloween costume-2
His eyes got REALLY big and he stepped back slightly to take a better look at me. Then, a look of recognition came into his eyes and he stepped back towards me and whispered, “Okay. Damn, Mike! I swear, I thought you were a woman! I’m sorry!” I whispered back, saying,
No sweat, Arn. I appreciate the compliment! Now, if we are gonna do this, we gotta do it right, so just follow me and don’t worry! I started towards the front of the room where the band was set up and got the attention of the bandleader. He came over to the edge of the bandstand and leaned down to hear what I was saying to him. I asked him to, at the end of the song they were presently playing, start a slow number and explained what Arn and I would be doing and why. His eyes lit up as he realized that I was a male and he understood what we were going to do! Then Arn and I walked to the center of the dance area and waited the few seconds it took to end the song the band was playing.
They started the next song and I looked at Arnie and he got my unspoken message. He and I took the standard pose for a guy and a girl for dancing but reversed! I took the lead role, and Arn followed as best he could! I peeked around and saw that EVERYONE’s eyes were on us and so I played it up just a little more! I whispered to Arn, “Don’t lose it here, I’m gonna dip you!” and I chuckled a little bit.
