My Little Superstar!

For those of you who remember back in the day, I thought you might get a kick out of this little picture. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, which will be most of you, this was one of my costumes from my dancing days way back when I lived in Virginia and before I became a dedicated gymnast. I wore this when I was about 11 or 12 years old and was a "Jr. Superstar" (the younger group of gymnasts with our dance troop). Our dance troop was call the Superstars and along with our dance numbers, I also got to perform the gymnastics numbers too. Ok, plug for the past, we even got to perform on national television! Yes, I was cool once.
Anyway, Sam and I were cleaning her room - yet again - and I found my bag with a few of my old costumes in it. Sam was dying to try them on. And here you go - MY MINNIE ME! She thinks it is the coolest "superhero" costume and can't decide on whether she wants to wear this, or my dentist costume (another one of my costumes I had when I performed a solo to "I'm a Dentist" from Little Shop of Horrors) for Halloween. At least she has a few months to decide. I have to admit it's fun to rumage through the past a bit, but even more fun to see Sam excited about my old costumes too. I showed her the video I had from when I performed my Dentist solo at a National competition in Las Vegas (yes, I won - brag, brag) and she was so excited through the whole thing. When it was over she wanted me to show her the dance from the video. How I wish I could still bend that way! She will just have to settle for watching it again.
