Just proves once again that NYC is the place where:
1. You gotta create your own fun.
2. You can create nearly any type of artistic expression.
3. Nobody bats an eyelash.
4. Everyone will want to know, ';is there%26#39;s free food and how do I get inside VIP passes to this event?';
5. Three months later, everyone will claim they (a) went, (b) knew about or (c) knew about it, couldn%26#39;t go and scoffed at it, but secretly wished they went.
6. Your event starts a trend that will be mentioned in the New York Times in 18 months, just as it dies down locally but becomes popular and much improved and modernized in Cleveland, OH and Austin, TX.

I love where they%26#39;re holding the cupcakes as they%26#39;re walking out. Someone choreographed that - would love to have heard that discussion.
';We%26#39;re holding 2 cupcakes. Hmmm, what body parts are plural? Hold them in front of our ears? No. Eyes? No. Kidneys? No. What else is there?';

Hi QB!
Thanks for posting the YouTube link-it was incredible! Wonder if the guy has always been part of the group (if the %26#39;sturdy%26#39; person isn%26#39;t a guy please forgive me, but shave the pits already!)
M;)
Glad you enjoyed it.
My fave part was the Alvin Ailey homage to ';Revelation'; at approx 2:35 in the video. Hilarious!
Also, very impressed with the pregnant dancer. That baby%26#39;s guaranteed to have a sweet tooth!
I laughed through the entire video! It was great fun to watch and the dancers not only looked like they were having fun, they all looked to be of average weight...not one painfully underweight ';elite'; dancer in the bunch!
Thanks for posting this - just hilarious. But it has made me crave cupcakes!
I think it shows a certain amount of elan to be able to dance an ode to a cupcake when you%26#39;ve got your own bun in the oven...look very closely... one of %26#39;em is about 16 months pregnant. Oy.
