Aye! And a grand sight it was to behold! The temperature in NYC was in the 40ºs - chilly, but bearable!
The YaYas were absolutely gorgeous in their lime green velvet and white fur trim outfits. The Santa hats were perched at the appropriate angle. The white go-go boots were gleaming. Pantyhose pulled tight, no elephant ankle bags......
We were a sensation, I tell you (just finished watching the video coverage of our performance, it brought tears to my eyes - more on that later....)
Putting Jeannie and Elaine out in the front row was pure genius....... their youthfulness and rhythmic gyrating captivated the audience from the get go!
That all night practicing really paid off - our kicks were high and synchronized, hand movements were crisp and clean. You all hit your marks perfectly!
Which, of course, leads (unfortunately) to "The Incident." Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn........ when I put you in charge of making sure Beth would be clothed "properly" this time - I never in a million years thought that she would sway you over to her way of thinking. I was mortified, utterly mortified, to discover during our grand finale high kick number that neither of you were wearing your standard issue white undergarments.

You made those poor boy band members fall off their float! (The videotape shows EVERYTHING!)
And yes, I know that Sherry, Michele, Karen, Bonnie, and Jennifer will offer the argument that they did wear the undergarment, but showing their butts to the camera so they could "moon" everyone as the five of them spelled out: "YaYas Do It In Style!", which was emblazoned across their panties *Sherry - YaYas; Michele - Do; Karen - It; Bonnie - In; Jennifer - Style!) was most inappropriate!
Oh - I'm not done here yet. Kim thought Apolo was on the Olympic float (sorry, honey, wrong speed skater), and got so excited that she did a series of splits and froze herself to the pavement on an errant piece of ice. The emergency crew workers hope to have her removed within the hour and are confident that her extremities will suffer no lasting harm.
Yes, Jodie, Betty, Nancy, Auriel, and Carol, did a great job during the performance - but that vicious cat fight they got into over the balloon handlers was totally uncalled for!

Girls, they just call Mr. Monopoly "Mister Moneybags" - it doesn't mean that he's really rich. And yes, Jeeves the Butler, might just be a butler, but he is still very nice - and so are his handlers! Let's share nicely, ladies, there's plenty of handlers to go around!!
And Jay was a no-show. We had a man's costume for you dear. A little Liberace looking - but very tasteful.....
I'm sad - yes. All of my family was watching. (and laughing) We can overcome this "Incident", it will take time, but we are YaYas and YaYas are for life!
