How Do YOU Walk to the MoMA?

Last night was dinner with Rebecca's family on Restaurant Row. We went to a great little place called Sangria 46, a Spanish restaurant where Josh, Becca's brother, ordered most everyone's meals for them, including paella and carne dishes. We also had two pitchers of sangria between the five of us (and the coconuts kept knocking together...)

Leaving at a quarter to midnight in the hot air, and freshly energized by the sangria, Becca and Josh shared with us an inside joke they made up earlier that day when going to the MoMA. On their walk there, Becca morphed into a ridiculous slinky and slunky walk that involved knees up and claws in the air, (which she elaborated from The Grinch), and told Josh "this is how I walk to the MoMA", after which she asked Josh, "how do YOU walk to the MoMA?" where he created some ridiculous monkey-stepping run. So then Becca and Josh asked the rest of us "how do YOU walk to the MoMA?"

So there on West 46th Street, in the hot hot night, despite all the tourists and passer-bys, we recorded and cackled over everyone's individual walk to the MoMA, followed by ballet-inspired picture poses, which I hope I can share soon! My walk to the MoMA was a pirouette-and-jazz-hand looking creation that was inspired by Molly Shannon's Sally O'Malley SNL skit, but taken from Cheri Oteri's character as she dramatically exits the dance auditions. (See below, and pay attention to 2:30 to see what I'm referring to!)



So now I ask... how do YOU walk to the MoMA? (Go ahead, record it and share!)
