Chiquita Mama


I think I was 47 in this next photo. I don't normally dress like the Chiquita Banana girl, but I was at a Halloween costume party. The entire night a young, handsome gentleman continually kept asking me to dance. I wasn't much of a dancer, so I actually convinced myself that I was cute, a magnet to young, handsome men. However, at the end of the evening I discovered this young, handsome, talented dancer was actually a dance instructor looking for students. I must have looked like a good "dance student" prospect.
Ninguna manera, chiquita mama.

I probably weighed 155 pounds in this picture.
There was actually a banana on my head, but I don't see it in the picture. I probably ate it! Now that explains the weight gain from 150 to 170.
No más plátano.

  1. Your blog is hysterical! I just about wet my pants laughing. Having been at the same dance with you in the photo (dressed as Minnie Mouse), I hereby confess: I ate the banana. By the way, now that you're "doing" Billy Blanks, why not bring him to the next dance? ;-)

  2. Minnie, You could dance your Latino moves with the dance instructor while Billy and I do the ChaCha "Tae Bo" style?
    BTW, how did my Spanish translate?

  3. Your Spanish is wonderful! I've been walking around the house all day saying "No Mas Platano" and "Chiquita Mama" to my hubby. :-)
