We all remember that beloved icon of grace and class, First Lady Jackie Kennedy. She was known for her refined taste in fashion, design, and the arts. But it appears she may have had a scandalous secret: some say our dear Jackie O was known to occasionally do The Twist!
The Twist was a frenzied dance craze that teenagers went nuts for, replacing more rigid and “respectable” dance styles with an energetic and carefree flailing. It seems that more than once, reports of Jackie Kennedy being seen dancing the twist were fiercely denied by the White House press secretary, who obviously considered it below her dignity. In fact, previous president Dwight D. Eisenhower called the dance “vulgar.” But eventually, reports of “Twist parties” at the White House couldn’t be stopped, and friends testified that Jackie was a “wicked twister,” although they say the president tended to stay “merely an amused spectator.” As long as you’re not afraid it will ruin your dignified reputation, you’re going to love today’s fresh Posy Twist precut!
