EDUARDO

MARY & EDUARDO

A Fictional Sagacious Saga

Of Two Dancing Lovers And

Their Argentinian Connection

By Izzy Ess de la Grande Finesse

Eduardo Martinez did hail from Buenos Aires, famous for its Argentinian great tangos, rumbas, sambas, meringues and the cha cha chas.  He had established a dance studio in old Chicago, in the Loop, at Madison and Wabash Avenues, for teaching the mid-westerners the subtleties of all Latino dances for their entertainment and their great enjoyment.  A bright young teenage beauty from La Grange just entered his big studio, The Latin Dancer’s Paradise, and asked to take his courses for the big bucks that it cost.  She was so capable, Eduardo asked if she did want to join him as a dancing partner for an income just exceeding all her aspirations for a career and she accepted his kind offer.  So, they fell in love and danced each night away while teaching others how to dance during lengthy sessions in the afternoon and evening.  Nightly, Mary Smythe was supercharged with love as they danced the tangos by the dozens while the music swelled and lingered in their minds and supple bodies.  Eduardo taught young Mary all the secret language of the Latin Lovers’ dictionary which she learned so rapidly.  Mary shared with him her American Mid-western twang and everything she’d learned with her young cowboy boyfriends.  Our Eduardo rode her like an American bull buffalo, and bucking bull while she rode him like an Argentinian rancher just punching bulls for fun and profit.  They did fit together just amazingly and intimately for such pleasures, through the night.

The Mid-west Dancing Championships were held that year and Eduardo with his lover, Mary, took First Prizes for just everything, from Tangos to the Cha Cha Chas.  They even won the Fox Trots and the European Waltzes with such graceful movements never seen before.  The judges were enthralled with Mary’s beauty and her skills that they crowned her the Grand Queen of Dance and Eduardo was her adoring King.  The media was generous and praised them to the sky.  The Playboy Magazine paid Mary handsomely to be their Christmas Centrefold, as Hugh Hefner glowed with pride.  Not a touch of air-brushing or make-up was e’er applied because young Mary was a natural from head to toe, including all her private parts, which were no longer private, being photographed and shown around the world.

A wealthy sponsor and producer from New York did see them dance and asked them to appear on David Letterman that week.  He had them filmed professionally by his photographer and asked for other sponsors to participate.  A show in Boston was so financially successful that they moved it all to Broadway in a Theatre that had a huge Marquee with Mary’s statuesque great almost naked body.  The opening drew many new and old celebrities.  It was a smashing hit and all reviews were strongly positive.  The single men in their tuxedos waited at the stage door, nightly, with bouquets of roses, hoping that they would be chosen for a night of love.  Mary did remain quite faithful to Eduardo despite some offers of immense amounts of money for her favours, if she’d agreed to give them some.  The show ran for twenty-four whole months before it closed.  Mary and Eduardo earned a million dollars for the first year and two million more, the next.  They toured the world for four whole years and set up shows in all the major cities ‘round the world.

In Buenos Aires they were heroes and were often just paraded through the streets for thunderous applause.  Their show in Argentina was held over for a full twelve months of great successes.  Eduardo and his Mary bought a ranch in Argentina in the southern tip of that great country where the penguins came to breed and walk about the streets without a fear of being harmed or eaten.  Beavers brought from Canada had taken over all the wetlands and had built their dams and underwater nests with great success to reclaim beauty from the swamps that had been prevalent.  Their tiny waterfalls and clear smooth ponds drew visitors from around the world to live amongst the pretty Antarctic penguins and industrious Canadian beavers.

Sir Eduardo’s ranch was called “The Tango Heaven.”  It did draw some wealthy tourists who would come to see them dance and take some lessons.  Our Eduardo and his love, our Mary, built a rather large ballroom for paying visitors.  They taught and demonstrated all the dances that had made them famous, for big bucks.

Eduardo, Mary, ring-necked penguins and the furry sharp-toothed beavers all lived happily just ever after in the Argentine big Paradise.
