So why does she appear in the Hall of Fame
twice? She's Renee, who Jack met dancing at Stimmelators
over four years ago. Somewhere along the line we got her in the Hall
of Fame several years ago as Renee. Here she reappears as
Delilah. Another thing and we hate to break it to ya---she's
not Delirious most of the time. How can you be Lost Angels Woman of the Year and be delirious or
crazy. Unless one is referring to Delilah's great sense of
humor. Consider back at Dollies over on the St Louis East side
when Jack, Big Howard, and the rest of the crew at Dollies were staging
their wacky Dollies trendy Toilet Sex series that many Indiana dancers were
saying: "How can they be so crude down there?" Little did
we know that up in Southern Michigan Delilah was watching the strange photo
shoots at
Dollies. Several years later, while Jack was up in Michigan visiting her
and the two were in a bar where Delilah and her friends were in a dart
tournament, Delilah turned to Jack and said: "Jack, let's take over
this bar and have Trendy Michigan Toilet Sex." The
two grabbed Delilah's sister and a couple of unsuspecting guys for a picture
taking session in the bars bathroom ala Dollies style.
Or
how about the time when Delilah sold a girl friend one of her computers and went
out to lunch with Jack when the girl friend was late? No problem for
Delilah when they returned to find the girlfriend had accidentally locked
them out? At first she tried to break in using a credit card.
Then she played cat burglar as she went right through a window. The
dancing clothes had been left at home with Delilah for the most part being
retired before reaching her thirtieth year. She was wearing an old pair of
jeans, running shoes and a man's cap with a bill on it. The stage was the
furthest thing from her mind. She had work to do, taking part a computer
and making the damn thing work before collecting five hundred bucks from her
friend.
So what does this all have to do with
Delilah's being our Woman of the Year? Plenty,
because she's a woman who wears many hats. Little did Jack
know when he took that first round of pictures of her at
Stimmelators more than four years ago and she called him for the
Alphapro url at the club after getting home that she had been into
computers since she was fourteen. Even the girls she danced
with had to be clueless that Delilah could build one of the damn
things.
Which
is our whole point about renaming our Dancer of the Year award to Woman of
the Year. One cannot stereotype someone like Delilah as being just a
dancer. :Let's put it another way. When a man thinks of
a woman as someone he wants to spend lots of time with and never get bored, who
he's proud to be out with----ANYWHERE, and a woman who's not going to let
him down, who he's wanting to put on a pedestal, he's not thinking of someone
who does the pole well---he's thinking of an ideal. He's thinking of
someone who's fun to be with and whose mind is constantly challenging his.
Yet a woman like this is not going to settle just for Mr.
Average. Why should she?
She tells you what she means and does what she
promises. Above all she's not a materialistic bitch. She's always coming
up with fresh ideas, but is not judgmental. She's a prankster yet she's
got a wealth of common sense between her ears. She's a giver and not
a taker.
That's Delilah.
