Where There’s Smoke

there’s a fire…alarm, anyway.  And we burned the turkey so bad we set it off for the first time this winter, taking the studio from ice cold (seriously, like 50 degrees when we walked in!) to scorching hot with our thermal units of happiness.

Of course this was the good kind of burned turkey!  And all [...]

DJ Debut

Yesterday afternoon marked the debut of DJ Cumberbun (aka DJ Kiki Bizzo, DJ Bridez-illah, and your lovely den mother Kelly P.!) and I know at least one lady who could have used that missing D.  As in, one of these…

to hold up her skivvies!!!  Yes, a DDPP first, the fierceness of DJ Cumberbun’s mix snapped [...]

Of the Muffin Variety

This week’s mix was too wild for words!  And so I present the following:

Yeah, all those cage scenes?  They happened. (Courtesy of DJ Muzak, and the best floor crawl I have EVER seen.)  And this:

Yeah, that happened too. (Who knew imitating Wade Robson’s moves could be so [...]

DeLIGHTFUL

Ladies, yesterday’s mix left me positively glowing.  Literally:

Yes, believe your eyes!  That is your den mother’s hand, sporting some sweet-ass glow stick bracelets courtesy of the fantabulous DJ Lil’ E.  She brought enough for everyone, and it was pretty much the coolest. thing. EVER.  Thank you Lil’ E!
Not like her mix needed any extra pizzaz, [...]

They Say The 80s Are Coming Back…

Let’s face it, Halloween is always risky business: razor blades in apples, needles in candy bars, all you can drink costume parties.  And there’s always the danger of putting off your costume idea until five minutes before DDPP.  Well, clearly one of your den mothers had the foresight to plan something mam(mary)moth, and the other [...]

A Sassy Brassy Kind of Sunday

Every now and then I come up against a mix so relentless in its fabulousness that I literally can’t take it. What I mean to say is that the beats are so hot, my heart wants to dance itself out of my chest on EVERY SINGLE SONG!!!  And my brain says “Yes!!!  Keep dancing!!!  Dance [...]

Sunny Side (Gets) Down

Florida is known as many things: provider of oranges, land of too  many good college football teams, mecca of hot young Cubans and cold east coast retirees, America’s wang.  But it’s first and foremost the Sunshine State, and this Sunday Florida provided us with her greatest bounty of all: MC Sunshine!
After a week of gloomy-ass [...]

DJ Easy bake…we missed you, but your tunes were hot out of the oven

I am sorry to say that DJ Easy bake has not had an easy round here at DDPP. First time she decides to DJ, class gets all screwed up and the place has been rented out to another group. The second time she is scheduled to DJ, she gets sick and can’t come. Lo and [...]

Alive and busy, but very well

See all ya’ll this afternoon to steam up the studio! Gonna be a hot mix for a chilly day.

Den Mother Snafu botches class

I, Kelly Joy Vanater Peraino apologize to anyone who showed up to class today and experienced my spaciness in the flesh!  I showed up to class without my keys to the studio and proceeded home to grab them.  I realized when I returned that my “be right back” note said I’d return by 5:10pm rather [...]
