Ta Da… the world's oldest showgirl, and she ain't no bag-a-bones limping around the stage in a body that only remembers yesterday. She’s Dorothy Kloss. Her yesterday-is-today body moves in the moment, as graceful and energetic as a woman a quarter her age (she's 83).
Dorothy’s a member of the
Palm Springs Follies, a not-to-miss show if you ever come down the desert way. Yes, the show's a little over the top, a bit corny, but you'll have your eyes glued on the dancers wishing you could move like that at any age.
I'm a new fan, not so much because of their world famous leg-kicking and outfits of camp, but more because of the way they age--in an alert, conscious fashion that keeps them literally moving and shaking most of the time.
Dorothy has to be one of the most remarkable older woman in the U.S.A. After having the opportunity to chat with her, II found that this encounter was a most unbelievable event, one that left me with a spirit for life that, in all my future days, will never leave me.
I can't wait to be 83!
