Feet Up? No. Definitely not.

HANDS DOWN. Do you remember the first one? The very first. One.

...Probably not. Anyways, I typed out this BIG OL' thing on youtube, so I guess I'll just get some copy and paste action goin on. There's a story. Yes, a story behind this here video.

FIRST OF ALL, let me explain to you the Roslyn and Nora story. It was fate, when Roslyn and Nora both received letters inviting them to a convention in Washington D.C., known as Jr. NYLC (Junior National Young Leader's Conference). On the fifth of the six days, the large group slept over at a science museum. Nora's life changed forever after she made the decision to camp out with the Las Vegas girl, Roslyn, instead of Lauren Drysdale. Roslyn and Nora's first words were, "Umm...the pepsi isn't...carbonated." ? Anyways, when the last day of the convention came around, all of the kids gathered at their gates in the airport to head on home. Roslyn and Nora wanted so badly to keep in touch, but they had forgotten to exchange numbers! Roslyn called out to Nora and began to send hand signals. "WRITE. MY. NUMBER." Pen, point to self, criss cross fingers. Nora gave her the "ok" sign, which you know...when you connect the index and thumb? So! Roslyn signaled the number with her fingers and Nora wrote it down. After the convention, they talked more and more, and then Roslyn made the decision to visit Nora. The girls had fallen into love! An unconditional love, and not a sexual type of thing, but best friends. Yes, best friends! Roslyn and Nora have impacted each others lives in such ways, I can't even begin to describe. Every three months they would either drive or fly to visit each other. Sometimes even surprise each other. However, for the past 11 months, Roslyn and Nora had hardly even talked. Why? I don't know. But that quickly changed, when Roslyn left a simple comment saying, "Fly me up to see you!" Half joking. But Nora did. She flew her right up! And she stayed for a whole week. Just left yesterday! In 2006, the girls made a music video that changed everyones lives forever. (Well...not really. Whatever.) But! It was such a big hit that why not do it again? HEREEEESSSSS THE HANDS DOWN VERSION 2! "Older and bolder". There is a kissing scene. But it's for sake of the song and nothing moreeeeE! And after doing so, we weren't all like "hmm okay lets make out now since we're...already..." okay yeah whatever.



And also, watch Brooklyn's video response. Actually watch all of her videos. They're super fantastic!
