@AnneKipanki
Well, we could go on the rodeo circuit whilst we are vacationing in the land of the American cowboy....they always need 'talent' whilst they clean up the arena after the macho nutty
Cowboys try to bareback ride a bucking bronco. The NW has countless opportunities for forced vac. fun.
🐎🐎🐎🐎
@Iklboo...do you think you could rustle us up some cowgirl costumes for our performance? How are you at bedazzling with loads of rhinestones?

Oh and the best part? We get to wear cowgirl hats... and cowgirl go-go boots this time! Now I understand why the Go-Gos needed those large luggage trunks for their vacation with all the costume changes that are required👢👢👢👢👢👢👢👢

@MrsMackesy....how are you at steer wrestling?🐮🐂

Poor iklboo she is working her fingers to the bone trying to keep up with all our big ideas for our shows...but that's show business.
AnneKipanki at this rate we might need a private jet to carry all our luggage🛫

Water skiing outfits? Hmmm. I'm thinking 1950s Doris Day look?

iklboo · 15/05/2021 15:36

Ah. Definitely Doris Day. I can rustle up Annie Get Your Gun outfits. Who's choreographing our Deadwood Stage number?

AnneKipanki · 15/05/2021 16:31

I have just been watching a programme about Doris Day . Spooky !

Sweetpea1532 · 15/05/2021 17:30

@AnneKipanki
That Doris was the Queen of back-teased hairdos!

Well, @iklboo, if you make the water skiing outfits out of waterproof materials then with a few different accessories we'll be able to use them for the rodeo numbers....just change out the tiaras for cowgirl hats and put our boots on and we're ready for the rodeo bits.
AK I've forgotten...weren't you in charge of the choreography?
Or was it @MrsMackesy?
Oh no, I forgot...she is the front girl of the group, but she does have that full orchestra.

We'd better hurry and make our plans..we've only 20 more spots left in this forced vac post...cant even imagine having to fill up another thread of "Forced Vacation-Part 2....Too Bloody Right?"
Of course it would be fun to check and see if posters comprehension skills have improved as a side effect of their jabsGrin

AnneKipanki · 15/05/2021 17:52

Sweetpea , the plan ( loose ) was to take this to 1000 . I can’t remember who was in charge of choreography. I’ll see what I can come up with .

@AnneKipanki
Ha! I've never even heard of Deadwood, SD! How is it that you lot know all about it?!
That dancing for the rodeo will be perfect...Do you think we can coax several hunky Cowboys with tight jeans and big white smiles to join us on stage.?..
I adore watching guys line dance! I once went to a benefit for the USMC and the band called several marines up on stage to line dance...it was above amazing to watch these marines in identical clothing and seeing them dance with precision.
👯‍♂️👯‍♂️
Oh good, AK the pressure is off about us providing part 2 , thank goodness...
I wonder what has happened to @WeMarchOnGrin

AnneKipanki · 15/05/2021 20:04

Mr Google Sweet!

Sweetpea1532 · 15/05/2021 20:14

@AnneKipanki,
I have Mr.Google on speed-dial!😂
( or whatever the internet equivalent is)
Deadwood has just been flying under the radar, I suppose Grin
SD is sort of the mythical state of the 50...not much is ever said about it. Mount Rushmore is there and now one of the heads have become a controversial figure in history, so maybe SD will come into its own.
Think we could book Glastonbury?Grin

Sweetpea1532 · 15/05/2021 20:23

@iklboo
Are you still toddling around sainsbury trying to do the pre forced vac shop? It would be quite understandable since you can't actually see where you are going...I keep waiting for you to crash into a large display of tomatoes on offer. Instant Red pasta sauce!

iklboo · 15/05/2021 20:25

@Sweetpea1532 - I'm back now. Working on the costumes. I'm going to do us some Vegas showgirl outfits for the finale.

AnneKipanki · 15/05/2021 22:08

Her name was Lola 🎤🎼

Sweetpea1532 · 15/05/2021 22:17

@iklboo
Fab idea! I have connections in Vegas so I can get us some gigs there, too. Atlantic City, also.
You are a wardrobe sewing wiz!

Anybody up for a cruise for our forced vac?🚢🚢🚢🚢 The possibilities are limitless now that we've the jab...

AnneKipanki · 15/05/2021 22:36

Connections !
Wow !

iklboo · 15/05/2021 23:40

Count me in for a cruise gig. The food is fab.

Sweetpea1532 · 16/05/2021 06:57

@iklboo
We can't be pigging out on the food whilst cruising unless you plan on bringing your sewing machine to let out our costumes when we each suddenly gain a stone over a 2 weeks period!

Sorry gang, I've been busy teaching my whole orchestra to waterski backwards whilst playing their trumpets, violins, trombones and so on. I think we've cracked it - or cracked something! - ready for our finale.

Star Finale with full orchestra, some on water: Star

Karaoke:
Channelling Madonna - Holiday
Channelling Doris Day - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Channelling Dame Vera - We'll Meet Again

Star Star Grand finale: Star Star

Goodbye-ee, goodbye-ee
Wipe the tear, babies dear, from your eye-ee
Tho' it's hard to part, I know
I'll be tickled by feathers to go
Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee
Bonsoir, old things, cheerio, chin-chin
Forced vac gang, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee

Follow the yellow bring road @iklboo Star @Sweetpea1532 Star and of course @AnneKipanki Star - this forced vac wouldn't have been the same without you all. We'll meet again, somewhere over the rainbow Flowers Gin

Sweetpea1532 · 16/05/2021 20:05

Yes, @MrsMackesy
We're meeting over on @AnneKipanki new forced vacation thread...see above for the link...I've nominated this one for classicsGrin

Sweetpea1532 · 16/05/2021 20:15

DH didn't have a forced vac in NW US...he was able to find lots of petrol and no weather issues.
On the drive home he stopped and camped at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon....hummm, another possibility for a forced vac site?..the acoustics are amazing down in the deep, deep canyon.... We'd need to ride mules down into it though.
And yes, @AnneKipanki, he has connections there, also! And it's only about a 5 hour drive from Vegas. Win, win
Another plus is that we can use our cowgirl costumes for the show so @iklboo will finally get a rest!

@AnneKipanki...the Queen's National Entertainment Award goes to AK for her ability to ferret out the best video clip to parody every situation. 🥇🏅🏆🏆
And in her honour, I hereby declare this day, 16 May 2021 as AnneKipanki Day . We shall celebrate your ingenuity forever more..Amen!

AnneKipanki · 16/05/2021 21:17

Aw thanks
