Show Me How You Burlesque

Okay so I know my last post was mostly non-diabetic, but I need another break. I have had a rough couple days and I need some happy in my day! SO, on that note I will be talking about Burlesque, my new favorite movie. I could probably recite the entire thing if prompted. Christina Aguilera and Cher are a great pair in this movie. It is so amazing to hear these awesome voices throughout the film. I am going to talk about my three favorite songs of the movie. But I promise I'll tie it in to diabetes in the end.

#3: A Guy Who Takes His Time: Ally, played by Christina Aguilera, is dressed in a costume made of nothing but pearls. So awesome! The music is funny and the choreography is awesome! The song is about a girl who simply wants to meet a guy who's "arriving in low" and "takes his time".






#2: You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me: Tess, played by Cher, sings this amazing song standing all alone on a stage...just her, a chair, and the music. It is so inspirational. Every time I feel like I have failed or am heading downward, I listen to this song. The lyrics, "I've been brought down to my knees and I've been pushed way past the point of breaking, but I can't take it. I'll be back, back on my feet. This is far from over. You haven't seen the last of me" are awesome! I mean what says "hey everything is going to be okay" more than that!

#1: Bound To You: Ally, played by Christina Aguilera, sings this song in a lime green strapless gown. Gorgeous much?! This song touches me personally because every time I hear it, I think of my amazing boyfriend Andrew. I'm just going to leave you with the lyrics...you'll get it. "I've found a man I can trust and boy I believe in us. I am terrified to love for the first time. Can't you see that I'm bound in chains and finally found my way. I am bound to you". I love you Andrew. Forever and always. Amen ;)



My tie in to diabetes...I wonder how these girls would wear all of these skimpy costumes if they had an insulin pump? I mean there's not really anywhere to hide it in a see-through pearl costume or a little bustier...anyways...I bet they aren't diabetic so it doesn't matter. I guess I'll just have to give up my dream of being a club dancer haha


So, if you haven't seen the movie yet...DO IT! It is filled with sexy dances, awesome costumes, and singing! Oh and a super sexy guy that ends up naked. Go on girls...check it out. Welcome Famous Amos cookies!

Goodnight
