A Beyonce Battle

So....The Mad One phoned and asked " Are you in ????" The nature of our longstanding relationship is that you automatically say yes to questions posed in this way so I immediately replied " YES !" "Great" she replied " that's sorted".....I waited to allow her to enjoy her moment of suspense and then enquired as to what exactly I had said yes to. She excitedly informed me that we were now entrants in the Lip Sync Battle being hosted by a local GA club at the end of September. I greeted this with delight as I love a bit of fun and then she advised me that she had already chosen the song and choreographed dance and I was to look up the video of Beyonce singing " If ya like it and ya want it, put a ring on it..."
I put down the phone went into u-tube and looked up the video and found this image

Now The Mad One has always had an image of herself as a sex siren and I welcomed the fact that she felt the need to tar me with the same brush, but over my dead booty would I be seen in a black swimsuit and tights up on stage in the local community centre twerking like a hooker ! I immediately googled a few similar catchy songs, but with clothed pop stars and sent them to her, which she, as is her nature, duly totally ignored as once she gets an idea it takes a while to talk her down. This is my role in life when it comes to The Mad One....she gets MAD ideas, I temper them, she refuses and then accepts I might have a point and we come up with a compromise that satisfies both of us . I was reminded of the time we were due to hold a dinner dance in a local castle and she thought it would be a hoot for the guests to go around the castle grounds chasing a greased pig beforehand...I kid you not ! Having ignored my suggestions for a couple of weeks, the Mad One came back with a suggestion matching one of mine and with delight I exclaimed " Yes!" Now to find a third band member as our little group had 3 members...we wracked our brains for someone with the same artistic leanings as ourselves, someone who could match our energy, keep reigns on the Mad One but excite me a little.....The Mad One had a moment of genius...rare but powerful...and telephoned a local individual who, she advised me, a) owed her a favour and b) was not afraid to show a little flesh . She started the conversation with " Now.....you know you owe me a few favours".....followed by......" How would you like to be the filling in the sandwich between my sister and I ???" For some unknown reason, the person on the end of the phone thought these were 2 good reasons to say yes to my " persuasive" sister and declared themselves "in". How does she do it ? The Good Friday agreement would have been a doddle for her ! So our troupe is complete, rehearsals start next Monday, our song is chosen, our outfits being planned.......it has the making of either something epic or a total farce....but bring it on....let's have some fun ! I will keep ye posted.
