Chick Flicks

I have a strange propensity towards dance based girl movies. I own Bring It On, Step Up, Drumline, and other such cinematic masterpieces. Yesterday I found myself watching Honey, and Stomp the Yard. Funny enough I have never in my life taken a real dance class. Considering that I have been considered chubby as a child, and curvy as an adult (thankfully I learned that working out regularly is a necessary part of life for me) I was never the type that people really encouraged to become a dancer. Ballet was completely out for me, and the only dancing I ever really got into was hip hop and break dancing. Unfortunately for me having a set of D cups keeps me from really being able to balance myself correctly for break dancing, so even that plan was foiled to a certain degree. For some reason, though, I feel like I can live vicariously through these films. They give me the same type of high that teenage boys get from watching Fast and the Furious. It's weird. I know. Once I met a guy who was also a big fan of chick flicks himself, which I thought would be fantastic, until I realized he was nuts. From then on I decided that these movies would be something I do with my girlfriends only. Sometimes I will trade with a good guy friend and make him come with me provided that I see something he picks later, or I make sure that the girl in dance movie is hot and scantily clad for half the film.
