AK X


AK X – An Entire Decade of Kicking *ss
Here we are ladies! Our AK 10th anniversary. Can you believe it? An entire decade of being fabulous. And we all made it look so easy. Congratulations to you all for growing into even more amazing women over the past ten years. You kicked ass then. And you kick double-digit ass now.  
Love, Jess & Joc
Note: We went with a “then and now” theme – some of the pairings are more obvious than others, and some were stretches, but fun nonetheless!
1. Interlude / Bon Jovi – Livin' on a Prayer (Then) – Bon Jovi rocked then and he rocks now. I won't say WE are halfway there because after our first decade of AK, we are just getting warmed up.
2. Glee Ladies – Livin' on a Prayer (Now) – We all know that the Glee chicks are better than the guys and they proved it with this awesome mashup of boy music done with girl power. *************
3. Animal House – State Your Name (Then) – Although a classic, there is no disputing that Animal House is very much “Then”. Also an homage to the Big Green.
4. Ting Tings – That's Not My Name (Now) – None of you ladies have this problem. Everyone knows your names.***********************
5. JJ – Dy-no-mite! – (Then): Over the years, all of us AKers have had some “Good Times” together.
6. Taio Cruz – Dynamite (Now): The song says “I want to celebrate and live my life.” We feel you Taio!*****
7. Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Then):  Annie Lennox is a perennial AKer, then and now. This song IS the 80's.
8. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (Now): The latest of the fresh crop of AK popstars. All you ladies can still totally rock your skin tight jeans.***************
9. 50 Cent – In Da' Club: (Then) Back then, there was a lot more “in the club” for us AKers than there is now. Just because we have mellowed doesn't mean we are any less fabulous.
10. Flo Rida – The Club Can't Even Handle Me (Now): To quote Garth, “I ain't as good as I once was, but I am as good once as I ever was.” This song is for all you Akers when you DO make it back to the club.*************
11. Def Leppard – Animal (Then) – You ladies are animals (in a good way). Enough said.
12. Neon Trees – Animal  (Now): See #11.******
13. Josh Kelly – Amazing: (Then): Josh Kelly's voice is so sexy. He must be singing to us.
14. Bruno Mars – Amazing (Now): When you ladies smile, the world stops for a while. Because YOU'RE amazing just the way you are.******
15. Dar Williams – As Cool As I Am (Then): As cool as Dar is (which is very), you AKers give her a run for her money.
16. Mike Posner – Cooler Than Me (Now): Sigh. It is so difficult to be us. Whenever you ladies walk into a room, people can't help but to feel this way about you. It's just our cross to bear.******
17. Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal (Then): We miss him so much. And who the heck is Annie anyway? She must have been an AK er to have Michael so worried if she’s ok.
18. La Roux – Bulletproof (Now): All you smooth criminals are totally bulletproof. And hard as nails.****
19. Julio Iglesias – Escape (Then):  A classic for spandex or dance pants. Of course, spandex was the “then”. Now is “yoga pants.”
20. Cascada – Evacuate the Dance Floor (Now): As we close out a decade of ass-kicking, we leave countless hours of tearing it up on the dance floor (and everywhere else). But don't worry, our second decade of AK begins... NOW! Rock on, ladies.*********
