No Lights No Lycra Morayfield

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out here - bestest wishes from the NLNL Morayfield Crew!

We're posting this up tonight because we have a busy day on Thursday ;-) Thanks a bunch for coming and joining us tonight those who were able to. We had fun and YES..."Don't go breaking my heart" by Elton John & Kiki Dee was released in 1976...
It is a classic & a sing-a-long and our NLNL Morayfield Dancers and Crew were in full chorus- even those who quite possibly weren't born then! 😆

Cheers to Graeme for Crewing with me - was a treat to not be doing it solo this week haha. It's also an early wrap for dancing this week because we're not dancing at No Lights No Lycra North Lakes on Thursday night ;-) (that busy-got-special-things-to-do day)...

Thanks to everyone who came and danced with us for our PJ Week Fundraiser to help Kids in Foster Care! We raised $488. Although our dance part has ended we will have the fundraising page open for a little while longer in case you want to drop a small donation there (no pressure). Here's the details: https://fundraise.thepyjamafoundation.com/fundraisers/nolightsnolycramorayfieldtobrisbane

Did you know today being 1st September is Wattle Day? Yep. It is.
Wattle Day in Australia is celebrated on September 1, which is the first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

This is a time when several wattle (acacia) species are in bloom and many people wear a sprig of wattle to celebrate the beginning of spring and as a sign of patriotism.

The origins of Wattle Day date back to 1838. That year, the first Hobart Town Anniversary Regatta was held to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of Tasmania. It's organizers decided that the annual regatta should be celebrated by wearing a sprig of silver wattle blossom.

However, their proposal was met with some ridicule as this wattle species blossomed in August and September and would be difficult to obtain in November or December, when the regatta took place. As a result, it was decided to use the black wattle instead. This custom persisted until at least 1883.

Another icon in our musical/acting/entertainment industry this week has left us for that other place - RIP Vale Tim Curry. Such sad news to read about today :'-(
For whichever musical, movie or series you remember him in - he was always memorable. He might not have been everyone's "cup of tea" but he certainly was ours ;-)
Fly high in those fishnets Tim!

When our dancers wandered in the door last night to join us for number 3 out of 5 of our PJ Fundraiser Week Dances to help Kids in Foster Care, some had the "hope I'm NOT the only one in my PJ's" look on their faces LOL.
NO they were not! I greeted them in my pink "fluffiness" and PJ's ;-) THANK YOU to everyone who came and to those who dressed up/down/comfortably in their jimjams! (feel free to share any photos if you want).

Thanks also to those who sent requests in - we slotted them in and added some feel good ole faves for good measure.

** ALSO still reeling hearing about Tim Curry's passing this week RIP Vale Tim Curry ** 😭😢

TONIGHT WE DANCE in our PJ's...because we so can!
How about you?

We were all very saddened to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton :'-( What a loss to the world of country music and the music industry. Dolly was known for her amazing voice, lyrics as an accomplished songwriter, being a talented musician and entrepreneur. RIP Vale Dolly Parton 😢
Long may your music live in our hearts.
As a special tribute our last song tonight is one of our personal favourites and is in remembrance of Dolly.
