without missing a beat - Pimp Mama - Long Time Gone

Oh. isn't she cute. she's got bling and everything. they think she doesn't hear them over the boom boom but she does. her bling would have cost them the better part of a paycheck. they dance next to her in a silly way. over the top trying to egg her on to foolishness. pimp mama was dancing before they were a twinkle in anyone's eye. she just tightens things up. letting them see she's got places a coin could bounce off.

she dances away from the half - wit who tries to sidle up to any woman he thinks is new. she's been bouncin this town since 1982. she pats him on the cheek without missing a beat and tells him to move on. he does, happy for the small attention she's shown him. more people are laughing and looking at each other like- who the fuck is this chick? she doesn't care. she just keeps dancing, and wishing she were in Europe or Brattleboro- anywhere else without ageism.

then an asian guy comes up behind. she humours him but doesn't move into his wind. he jumps off to chase a pudgy, younger woman who's jumped up on the banquette to do a sloppy grind.

pimp mama works up to the front of the floor ignoring the smug looks of the only nerdy chic woman in the house; meanwhile noting her ambivelently attired boyfriend, is most likely gay. she used to be a lesbian; therefore, she knows these things.

she'd given up all hope of dancing with anyone except herself when a pretty, young man almost twice her height jumps on. it's apparent they can dance with wild abandon without any after hours issues because their sexuality doesn't match. dance after dance down to the floor. she can hold it down there. she had to pull her sapling back up a couple times. but that was quite alright. it's what partners do for each other. they did the nasty for a set of numbers. he then kissed her on both cheeks and said goodbye.

mommy danced on alone and within five minutes he came back for more. a couple more songs and two more kisses and he's gone again. he's prolly getting teased about it at brunch, this morning, somewhere downtown. he was friends with the nerdy glamour chick. posse of hipsters.

mommy moves up to the turntables and closer to the bros down front while she dances it out. the first couple comes over a bit more toned down now and respectful. the night draws to a close and pimp mama picks up her coat from where the bouncer let it lie. she throws him a wink and heads out the door one more time...
