The Time Of Your Life At The Touch of a Button

It's a sad day for Dirty Dancing fans everywhere, wrote my sister in a text message last night, and I agree.

Fortunately the voices of Johnny and Baby exist for her at the end of her keys with this delightful key chain, which though was just supposed to be a stocking stuffer, ended up being one of the most popular gifts Andy and I exchanged with my family last year (once we finally decided to give it up and not keep it for ourselves)

The six buttons give you such classics as

• I can't even do the meringue!
• I carried a watermelon.^₁
• The steps aren't enough - feel the music.
• You're invading my dance space.
• Go back to your playpen, Baby! ²

And of course

• Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
