*idea perhaps the women can dance in modern or ballet movements to fine art portrait still to white christmas. The idea plays to the schizophrenia Shelly faces later in life. possibly the dancing stops and starts
think classic like 7 brides for 7 brothers
as the song end the women stop dancing and walk around the kitchen with scratch baking in hand, pans and flippers, spatulas ect. And as they walk the camera fades to dark.
