Um, you want me to stick what up my ass?

At the end of our Samba dance rehearsal this afternoon, my teacher made some slightly alarming comments. She told us that by next Saturday, we need to have bought our dance shoes, fishnets, and Brazilian cut undies, AND we needed to cut off the waist of a pair of pantyhose and bring it in. Why did we need to bring in the waist of a pair of pantyhose? Because apparently we needed it to tie our underwear, fishnets, and of course the pantyhose waist thingy UP OUR BUTTS.

Then she said. "Girls, this will be very uncomfortable. And the head pieces are going to hurt a lot too. Okay, see you next week!"

Um, what???

I mean, I was wondering how the whole underwear + fishnets thing was going to work when our costume bottoms consist of g-strings with strands of beads going around them, but, no one ever mentioned tying things up our butts before. So, this is the life of a dancer, eh? ;-)
