Later I remember thinking how much Henry Ford would have hated that and that makes me so happy. A few years ago, a classmate was on the estate tour, and she told the docent about having the dance and the docent said she was lying because they would never allow it 6/6
We were in the ballroom for the dance, a bunch of preppy kids in coats and ties with girls in nice dresses (not prom like, but definitely a dressy Talbot’s vibe) all screaming with delight when the DJ played Erotic City as it was big radio hit in Detroit at the time 5/6
Anyway, we got to have a school dance there and wander about the house. I remember staring at the excellent replica of Van Gogh’s Postman at Arles (the real one is still at Detroit Institute of Arts) and thinking “I could totally fuck this up”. Of course, I didn’t 4/6
I had been there before for a tour (highly recommended) so I knew how beautiful it was. The boys’ bedroom for example, was in an Art Deco style with leather on the walls in a spectacular pattern. The outside playhouse was really like a Mother In Law apartment 3/6
I went to a private school in Grosse Pointe, MI where several of the Fords had attended. (The gym of the Lower School was named for Mrs. Edsel Ford - it’s now converted into classroom space) so the school had a connection to the family but I’m still not sure how we got to hold a dance there 2/6
Seeing all the posts of favorite Prince songs and I realize it’s impossible to narrow that list down to five. But it also reminds me of one of my favorite memories: dancing to Erotic City in the ballroom of the Henry Ford estate 1/6

Heard him conduct the Vienna Phil last month. Strauss’ Zarathustra and Sibelius #2 which that orchestra played beautifully (because they have that rep in their bones) but this… yikes
This is a great idea!
