After visiting the ladies room at a club, I took a shortcut back along the dancefloor. All of a sudden, people started clapping me. They’d called an impromptu dance contest and everyone thought I was dancing. Thriller was playing. They were shouting “Look - she’s doing the Mummy.” So I got into the spirit of things and tried to time my steps to the music (not easy). And would you believe it – I was declared the winner!
