That's Your Girlfriend: Tengobaila

At least you don't have to go with her to the studio every night anymore. There was a time earlier in the relationship when there was an expectation on her part and a feeling of obligation and romantic duty on your part to be supportive through your constant presence. She explained that she was really only dancing for you, and you were trying to prove that you were a good lover. Also you guys call each other lovers. Constantly. The video camera was a stroke of genius, though. When you gave it to her for your 10th anniversary, she knew just what to do with it. You still have to sit with her every night on the couch and watch the videos together before heading upstairs to make love, but it's given you time to pursue some of your other interests, like dialysis, and getting enough fiber in your diet.

Here are some of your other favorite videos:

I know that she says she won't get married again, not after what happened with Robert, but you should keep asking. She might change her mind! Then she will be your wife! (Via Urlesque.)

This is why I am nervous to leave my mom at home alone. Then again, she only uses the computer to accidently delete e-mails and play Bejeweled, so I think I'm safe.

I never thought I'd see a lady skeletor dancing to a song by Paula Abdul. I was wrong.

At the end of the day, she seems like she'd be an interesting mate.

You'd get video love notes, complete with dancing, and.... wait, that's no dream, that's a nightmare.

But she is still a way better dancer than I am.

I'm probably not the authority on how difficult it is to lip synch and dance at the same time, but judging by these videos, it's very, very difficult.

i don't think it's a matter of lip syncing being too difficult. i think she just doesn't know the words, which is odd, when you consider how much she must practice! practice! practice!

Is there a "We Should All Be So Lucky as to Find Something in This World That Makes Us So Happy" tag you can slap on this? This is one exceedingly happy person. You go, lady! Keep dancing like no one's watching and like you're not taping this for YouTube for some inexplicable reason!

Fuller, go easy on the pepsi? But back to the post.. I bet this lady and 11 of her friends get together every Wednesday for dinner and a movie in matching purple hats.

You know give her a pair of Kanye vision sun glasses and send her to an 80's Night at a dance club and I think we could break the time space barrier. We would all be transported back to 1985 do to a her dancing acting as a sort of superman flies around the world backwards time travel effect.

Do you guys ever worry that having so many boyfriends and girlfriends at once is going to end badly? I mean, considering that most of these aren't just flings (I'm seriously pondering marrying close to 80% of them at last count) people are going to get hurt (emotionally AND physically, when you take into the account the sheer numbers and the fairly widespread affliction of serious issues in this particular population.)

I have separate email accounts and prepaid cell phones for each of them...that should do the trick, right?

After doing a little research I discovered, actually her alter-ego, artemisbell, (http://www.youtube.com/user/artemisbeIl) is your girlfriend. It's her softer, more art and concepts side. Not only can she dance, but she can also take pictures of paintings, copy quotations, and put them to music she found on her computer!

I am so susceptible to second-hand embarrassment it's ridiculous.

I dunno, you guys. This lady's pretty great. Nearly-geriatric empowerment! Right, Gabe? You're all about being nearly-geriatric. You should be able to relate. We've all seen your Brokencyde choreography.

Admittedly, I was afraid she would start stripping at first.

This woman remind me of my aunt, who is 65-years old. My aunt is married with children, who are themselves adults now, and she has been teaching adult ed for decades. By night, she goes clubbing, hits the after-hours and goes to enourmous raves. Nobody in my family knows she does this, but when she discovered I was hitting up some of the same venues and events, she let me in on her secret. We keep it between us.


In short, let this lady keep dancing. It makes her smile and it makes me smile, too.

You just know she hasn't danced since high school. Her whole life and the last time she was ever that happy was when she was 19 (she had to repeat 3rd and 5th grade) and made varisity on dance team. She was a Bulldog then, a Westchase Bulldog! and damnit shes gonna be a Bulldog again! She doesn't need a man, just her countless hours alone to choreograph and her Iflip camera. And her dog Butterscotch. And her boxes of wine.

She's actually very graceful, but in a weirdly limited way. A skippy, turn-y, hand flourish-y way. Those three moves. SHE HAS GOT THEM DOWN!

As a 62 year old man with hip problems, I have to say she is not only the best I can do, girlfriend-wise, but I'm also quite happy with that being the case!

Nope, I don't practice anything; it's all impromptu, (made up on the spot) and I don't know the words. My mouth just wants to flap with the music.
