OMFG.
The mind boggles. If it’s my mind, first it gets right down in the gutter, and then it boggles.
It boggles hard.
Oh, I should mention that it’s a VIDEO LINK that plays immediately, with brassy music. Consider that if you’re at work!
IIRC, that clip is from Summer Stock, an extremely uneven Judy Garland vehicle. Not one I’ve bothered to watch more than once.
Nope – Broadway Rhythm, which is by all accounts also somewhat uneven.
(Gwan to get it from Videomatica, uneven or not. Woot!)
If my body could do that, I’d never leave home.
Wow. They don’t make 'em like that anymore.
Hmm. Unless my memory is completely dripping away, there was something similarly creepy in Summer Stock. But some of those “uneven” movies start to run together after awhile. I should watch fewer and better movies . . .
No, wait; I think I may have seen that clip in one of the That’s Entertainment docs, and the costumes and sets conflated it with *SS *for me. Or, retardation is progressive.
Ew.
Ew ew ew ew ew…
I’m so squicked out by Ehlers-Danlos. I know I shouldn’t be, but one of the little girls I used to babysit suffered from it and she was so flexible her shoulder would dislocate if I tugged on her arm even a little bit. Her mother had the stretchy skin kind. So gross.
Firstly, what kind of kinky fetish site were you looking at when you found this clip? 
Secondly, what are the odds any of those women can walk, much less dance, today?
Thirdly, Wow. That bit with the wagon is particularly out there.
I was a skinny double-jointed kid. And I loved to freakout my school mates with my weird body contorsions. That clip was my payback.
I opened the link, watched about the first quarter of it, and thought, “What’s the big deal, it’s just some ladies dancing”, and closed it. Then I read the rest of the replies, realized I was missing something, and watched the rest.
Oh, my.
I have to wonder about the safety precautions, though… That bit with the hayloft seemed rather dangerous, but I couldn’t see any way a spotter could catch her if she fell, without breaking her neck.
What would be really bizarre is if they popped out of the bathtubs in the California Dreaming video.
Well, three cheers for the Ross Sisters. I’m staggered not just by their flexibility, but by their incredible leg strength. That bit with the hayloft and the apple? Cripes! Sure, it’s a bit freakshow, but you’ve got to give mad props for the amount of time and effort they must have spent practicing.
Where’d their spines go?
What a strange clip! Thanks for the link, Larry Mudd. I emailed the link to my husband, who loves to watch cute girl gymnasts. Hope he doesn’t get any unreasonable expectations about feminine flexibility.
You people act like you’ve never seen Cirque de Soleil. Or the Ed Sullivan Show. 
Exactly my thoughts - actually, I was thinking that with the bit before that, but that part absolutely floored me.
That last stunt would make a great porno, with a little tweaking!
