Day 527 AugustDoodle Twisted

August Doodle

My CLmooc friends doodle every day. August’s  prompts are from Rachelle at Tinkerlab   — #tinkerlab and @bydawnnicole Lettering and Doodle Challenge and #doodlewashAugust2021

Today the prompt is #tinkerlab “twisted” and these two seem to have twisted the night away.

As an historical note, I found this public domain image from the year 1500 of peasants “twisting.” The caption says “pairs of people who twist, jibe and jump with their legs wide in their work clothes.” Looks like 1960 and Chubby Checker revived a very old dance!

And I certainly could “twist” as well! I remember Friday and Saturday nights walking and chatting with girlfriends to the Teen Club where we danced until midnight before walking home– laughing and twisting still. I think the cover charge was $2, which I got from dad’s pile of change he emptied from his pockets onto the dining room table, knowing I’d need that two dollars. At that time, I stayed very thin! Dancing is great exercise. Fun times!
