It is imossible for a lawyer to be both cool and fun. I have never know one who was "cool" because most are so anal retentive and fun? There is no such thing as a fun lawyer. Lawyers can't even tell lawyer jokes properly. Sorry, you must have the only pair of rose colored ears in the universe?

oh come on. I know our legal system is far from perfect and that there are lawyers more interested in money than justice, but there are people who go into law with good intentions, too. And yes, I know quite a few lawyers and judges who are fun...they certainly like to get down on the stage. Although, I admit my perception may be rose colored due to the fact that all the lawyers I meet are the fun ones who like to boogie.

I don't know about gymnastics, but DC is full of metro accessible dance studios.

All the lawyers I know are pretty cool. and fun. I didn't even know they were lawyers until months after I had met them.

I don't even own a dryer anymore, but I still wouldn't hang my clothes in the front yard. But I also wouldn't be so quick to judge someone who does. Maybe they ran out of space in the back, maybe they are from another country, or maybe they just don't care about looking classy...whatever their reason, it doesn't bother me enough to not rent.

This year it's flamenco. When it gets cooler I want to try tennis.

That was Tupac's name in the movie Juice. It's also a town in California.

*her natural self

I had an AA roommate in college. Our first semester, she was working at a bank and her hair was straight. Second semester, she decided to go natural. She kept it short and neat, but her job still gave her crap about it as well as her own family...saying she looked like a man and other insulting things. Then she started wrapping her hair with pretty head scarves and they didn't like that either. They didn't fire her, but she got the cold shoulder and eventually she quit. I think it was pretty sad, and even more so that her family preferred her hair straight. But I'm glad she chose to continue being natural herself anyway.

I don't understand why some women still outline their lips with black liner eew.

For me it's not just the black liner, it's any lip liner. I don't understand it. It never seems to look good. I hardly ever wear make-up though.

I don't understand how some people DON'T listen to music. That or they only listen to music on the radio. There's so much awesome music out there!

I'm the PP who doesn't listen to music. It just never comes up. I don't have a long commute. I can't stand to wear earbuds or headphones when exercising. Music and TV are just too much stimulation for me.

all types of music? Even classical?

I think it's uber fugly to call someone's kids fugly.

As a Marc Anthony fan, I don't care how physically attractive he is. His voice is like silk.

I love Marc Anthony's music. More so than JLo. I think she's a better dancer than singer. I loved watching her back in her Fly Girl and Janet Jackson days. Anyway, it's sad to see another marriage end and sad for the kids.

20:56, you are right, that song samples the melody from Lambada, by Kaoma. There is a Brazilian version you might like called Chorando Se Foi, by Ivete Sangalo.

OP, get to class early and get a spot in front. You'll have the most space in the front row, and the front row is often has the most coordinated people that know each step by heart...so they're unlikely to run into you.

If it remains a problem, I'd tell the instructor. I make everybody extend their arms to establish enough personal space for everyone before we start moving. Or I'll move everyone up a few feet if the back rows start to get too crowded.

I have a few men in each of my classes. Some are gay, some come with their wives and some are straight, single and just like Latin dancing. The creator of Zumba is a man, and he's quite the ladies man. Wyclef and Pitbul also like to Zumba. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRbZpHHid54&feature=share

I like to go to the beach to relax and be a complete vegetable, breathe the ocean air, feel the breeze on my skin, not care about what time it is and collect sea shells with DCs. It's soothing to my eyes to stare out into the big vast blue and soothing to my ears to listen to the waves. I don't care about fancy restaurants or going out, I just want to recharge.

I just got back from OC and saw people doing yoga on paddle boards in the water. I'll have to try that next time.

I like the beach, but can get the same recharge in the mountains, too.

Thank God for those two campus police officers who went with their maternal instincts and finally busted that sick bastard and his demented wife. The negligence of all those other officers is so, so sad. I hope this case gave them a big wake up call and hopefully it will bring much needed change into the system. It is incredible how upbeat, eloquent and positive she is. I can't wait to read her book.

also Music Man and Oklahoma. I know, cheesy.

Now I want to see Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor.
