It's so eye-catching that four hot, sexy and spicy senior girls dancing on stage in front of a huge audience of four hundreds people at the Spring Party of Taipei County's Women Entrepreneurs Association Sunday evening, March 18th.
It might be hard to believe by Toastmasters fellow members that they were Sherry Li, Trini Ding, clogging teacher Jennie Wang and me. We invited professional made-up artists and hair stylists to beautify ourselves. We put on short sexy skirts of Taipei County's Women Entrepreneurs. Our luscious tops made us so splendid and shining.
We clogged "Carolina Mountain" and "Let me into your Heart" for less than six minutes on stage, but we practiced hours of hours in class before our performance. Thanks to the Toastmasters International that we learn how to deliver speeches in public, we know it is important that we practice, practice and practice before we walk onto the podium. The audience deserves the best. In clogging, we apply the toastmaster skills to dance in public professionally.
Speaking and dancing in public are not easy. Long, serious, and disciplined practices are required to make each performance as perfect as possible. We are happy we presented the best possible service to the women entrepreneurs in Taipei County. We hope they would consider toastmastering and clogging activities in their 2007 agenda.
No matter how old women we are, we are beautiful and attractive because we are willing to share the joy and happiness with people around us. I can't thank Linda enough for giving us the wonderful opportunity to excel ourselves outside of Toastmasters arena. It's indeed an unforgettable experience in my memory. Michelle

Cloggers on the Red Carpet
Do you know how it was like to clog on the thick and red carpet? The audience wouldn't hear any clogging sound, no matter how hard cloggers manipulated their clogging shoes. What could the cloggers do but exaggerating the body languages to achieve the happy and lovely clogging effects?
Anything can happen on stage, we need to be flexible and have fun to bring the joy to the audience. But, I must confess that I got so upset for a few times when some dancers came late. Rain or sun, if we won't miss our plane, why we could take it easy to keep others waste their time.
No matter how supportive and friendly environment Toastmasters environments are, I think it is ultimate important we respect the dress code and puntuality. I'm cruel and strict with no flexbility at all during rehearsals--the chance for improvement for the performance on stage!
There is a famous saying in Japanese Tea Ceremony Society, "Ichigo Ichie 一期一會". Literarlly, this means there's only one time and one opportunity. It's saying there's only one chance in a lifetime. Clogging on the red carpet will be the one and only experience in my lifetime.
如夢似真的完美呈現
只有演沒有說的一場聲光秀
任由化妝造型師的創意及巧手
在平淡無奇的臉龐上打造陌生的自己
踩著踢踏舞鞋走向紅毯的另一端
琳瑯服飾招搖過市引人側目
隨手重新翻閱治豔女郎的寫真集
無法想像自己也曾經很炫很美過
就在一個刮風下雨的夜晚
我51歲5個月零9天
