The dancing robot from the Party Rock Anthem video!

 What? You don't know the shuffling robot?!

 

Obviously not, since nobody claimed the million dollar prize! 

 

Well hold on to your uncool seats because I am 'bout to increase your cool points. 

Take a gander at the most popular dance video going, Party Rock Anthem, and

look to the left to see Mr. Robot.

{This is an edited 30 second version--you're welcome}

 

 

{You may recall that Maris also did a little shuffling in her talent show. She was the dude on the left, in front--with the hair}

 

You can't tell from the above pictures but the eyes light up. They apparently flashed too fast

 to get captured with the camera. This was the only picture with at least 1 blinking eye.  

 

 

 

The box was primed and sprayed with metallic gold paint {Krylon}. I used window sreening to cover

the mouth and the LED bicycle light eyes. Inside was a bicycle helmet {from the thrift store} that I

 glued into a piece of foam and then into the box. With the strap attached, it made the box really

secure--it allowed for maximum shuffling. The 'bolts' on the sides were empty spool threads

{painted} with the cardboard scrap circle of the eye cut-out glued on top. 

The black pleather jacket was one of my old ones that I covered lightly with the same gold spray paint.

 It worked great!    

 

FYI--this, by the way, is Outfit #2. I soooooo wish I could show you Outfit #1. But, I was

 told by my 13 year old that he would ‘get even’ if I put the pictures of #1 on my blog.

 

He knew how much I loved #1. I pleaded for him to wear it. I took lots of pictures. He knew how

 badly I wanted to share the pics with you, my blog friends, and he really didn't trust that I wouldn't.

 

But, should I be worried?! I mean, really, how does a 13 year old get even??

 

 Well, later in the day, I caught him with his cell phone over my head clicking pictures

 while I was sitting on the sofa.

 

Me: What the heck are you doing, Jack??

Jack: Do you know how bad your roots are?

Me: Are you freaking kidding me?!  

{ FYI--I had my hair parted, in braids. Agreed, this in no way helped my case}

 So, I am keeping my roots to myself and I will simply say that Outfit #1 may or may not

have included his sisters leopard leggings instead of the jeans. {AWESOME!!}

 

Now to get my hands on his stinking cell phone pics...
