    Lightbulb I'm teaching myself how to moonwalk...

    ... And it's really hard. At least I got the basic steps right; all I need is hours upon hours of practice.

    Thumbs up Re: I'm teaching myself how to moonwalk...

    One hour later and I already look sexy (I should know, I videotaped myself). A few more days to perfect my leg movement, then I can start focusing on my upper body in the walk.

    Pretty sure it's not really cool any more, what with the originator having been outed as we-don't-know-what, completely lacking in sexuality, and being dead and all.

    After observing the moonwalk since the 80s, I noticed that the moonwalk is basically moving backwards while looking as if walking forward. The name is meant to represent movement with little gravity on the moon. In order to do this, as you make a forward walking motion, push back with the leg that you lift, (which is actually touching and pushing the ground with your toes/front part of the foot).

    The tricky part is moonwalking forward and sideways. I guess the forward part is when the lifting leg cancels the speed made by the lower leg a little bit. Thus, you look as if you walk slower than you look like you're walking. In sideways, assuming that the leg doesn't swing in a straight line (especially when on the catwalk) push to the side as your leg slightly curves when swinging forward and backward. I hope that made sense.

    I didn't even like Micheal Jackson, his highlight being 'beat it' and even that gets on my nerves if I hear it more than once a year.


    Anyway. I'm teaching myself how to eat cat litter, any tips?

    Good I didn't try then.

    Seriously though, why emulate Jackson? whatever he was, he wasn't a normal heterosexual man - which is what you seem to want to take pride in being.

    well there isnt much pride in emulating most normal heterosexual men either... actually there isnt much pride in emulating normal to begin with... let alone men.

    That's why I take pride in emulating women.
