Gussying Up and Shaking My Groove Thing

Gussying Up and Shaking My Groove Thing

This is something very few people know about (well, now you), but I simply cannot get dressed, get my beauty groove on without, well, getting my groove on.

I’m sure a lot of you have watched The Devil Wears Prada. It’s one of my favourite movies, especially the intro scene with KT Tunstall singing “Suddenly I See” in the background, and the gorgeous ladies are getting ready for work, putting their clothes and makeup on, etc. I remembered for weeks after that show came out, I played the same song on my iPod in the mornings when I was getting ready for the day.

I have a digital radio by my bedside which is also an iPod/iPhone dock. So whenever I’m putting makeup on, I have to tune in to bossa nova or samba music to shake my booty while I’m in my bathrobe or undies 😛 I don’t know why, but it makes me get into the mood of dressing up for the day or night. Sometimes I even sing to the music with my hairbrush as a mic 😉

What about you? Do you also shake your groove thing when you’re getting dressed and doing your makeup? Come on, it can’t be just me, can it? 😛

    Haha I don’t.. always feel rushed.

    But now that you’ve mentioned this, perhaps, I’ll give it a go to see if it does put me in the mood. ;p

    btw, I went to my Coles nearby but I couldn’t find the AUD2 nail polish you recommended. 🙁 Had the hubs and I hunting up and down, row after row.. LOL

    Does your husband dance along to the same morning music? 🙂

      Milktea: He can’t be bothered. He does find it very amusing that I’m shaking my booty very uncouthly in front of him. Bah MEN! 😛

    I get ready in my car while waiting for the traffic to turn green.

    With my lipstick as the mic 🙂

    p/s: I once get caught by my colleague in his back mirror with me impersonating some heavy rock band. I was deathly embarrassed for a while and promise not do it ever again. But heck life is short and commute just isn’t that fun if I don’t do that. So yeah if you some girl bobbing her head and lipstick in hand, that’s me!

      Jue: Lipstick as mic? GENIUS! 😀

      Aww life’s too short and commuting is boring. Live it up! 😛

    Oh I love that scene from Devil Wears Prada! (And I totally did the KT Turnstall song + dress up routine for a few days too. =P )

    I also love that scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s where Holly Golightly gets dressed to visit SingSing.

      Kahani: Yay so glad I’m not the only who love that scene from Devil Wears Prada 😛

      Ooooh I remembered that scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It’s hauntingly sad, yet beautiful.

      Elle: I do Norah Jones in the evening. I need something a lot more upbeat in the morning, or else I’d be a walking zombie 😛
