For all who showed – [...]

NO CLASS TONIGHT – MAY 14… & SUNDAY MAY 25

Ladies. SO sorry about the late notice. I’m blowing parts of my brain out through my nose (hot!) and Martin is home with a stomach ache caused by everyone’s good friend – the flu. We’re back on schedule this Sunday.
Except for NEXT Sunday – May 25th is Memorial Day Weekend – so we’re going to [...]

DJ Century Breaks Records…Cassettes, 8-tracks and Wax Cylinders

Last night was THE night of unparalleled firsts. How so might you ask? Like this:

A La Vie? Hell Yes.

DJ A La Vie gave us a steamy helping of the good life tonight with her carton of deep-fried, booty-grinding, head-banging, finger-licking tunes. We accomplished a lot for a mere hour and a half ladies! I mean – we came out straight away and admitted we were no good, we got down (tonight), we passed [...]
