Honey Badger in Spaaaaace!

When DJ Honey Badger said her playlist had a future robot outerspace nerd theme, I got excited.  A honeybadger in space!  What would that look like?  Maybe a little like this? That looks a little like a honey badger in space, doesn’t it?  Work with me here, I tried. Then I got REALLY excited when [...]

Shut The F*** Up And Dance!!!

How, HOW can I put into words what happened on Wednesday night? It’s just too hard. Maybe a picture will help…they’re worth a thousand words…nope. Still not good enough. A video. Yes. That will begin to approximate the situation. That’s it. That kitten is MC Escher, me, all of us that were crammed into the [...]

Growing up with FunkyButt

When asked if there was anything we should know about her very first playlist DJ FunkyButt said, “It’s starts off pretty innocently, but by the end it gets pretty dirty. I hope no one is offended.” And it certainly did start out innocently enough. Some fun disco and the most innocent songster of them all, [...]

Wherein we discover the hidden link between disco and Downton Abbey.

We’ll admit, it got hairy there for a minute last week. What with the SOPA protests and Wikipedia going blank for a whole day on January 18th, thousands of high school and college students were forced to consult primary sources. Worse, your den mothers were at risk of not having a reliable reference point from [...]

Turn It Up To 11!

I am sure we all know that scene in Spinal Tap where the not very bright musician explains how his amps “go to 11.”  I know, that’s so last year.  Well, last year was 2011, and this den mother and DJ had an amazing 2011.  And I got to relive it all at DDPP last [...]

Ghetto Superstar

It’s not too often that the DJ gives out one of these right off the bat: But DJ Stop Looking At Me Swan let us know that she was going balls to the *@!$&ing wall Wednesday night! And boy, did she ever %#$!ing deliver!  Our youngest dancer in the room could even be seen donning [...]

WE PARTY!!!

525,600 minutes…how do you measure, measure a yearrrrrr? I’ll tell you how. On a Sunday afternoon in January, with a solid hour of 2011′s greatest hits courtesy of the one and only DJ Chelles Belles. When she said “best of,” she wasn’t messing around: You know who else wasn’t messing around? The NEARLY 30 WOMEN [...]

Guilty pleasures.

Guilty pleasures: we’ve all got ‘em.  Mine, for example, include reduced fat Wheat Thins, somewhat matronly polar fleece sweatshirts and CBS procedural dramas. (In fact, add those together and you’ve pretty much got my perfect Sunday evening!) But I toe a pretty hard line that I don’t have many guilty pleasures when it comes to [...]

New Year, New Attitude!

Happy New Year!  At DDPP, we don’t sit around with hangovers on New Years Day!  Not us!  We got up and GOT DOWN with DJ U.N.I.T.Y.!  What a way to start the year! Didn’t like 2011?   Well, Shake It Out and get ready for 2012! Maybe it’s time for a New Attitude! We had 14 [...]

An afternoon of firsts on the last Sunday of 2011

This blog entry may be late, but not forgotten! It would be impossible to EVER forget a DJ Lady KStud playlist! She made us come running as fast as we could to the last Sunday DDPP of 2011, where each and every den mother was in attendance! That was an amazing first to wrap up [...]
