WHITE RABBIT

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind will adjust to a completely surreal situation? Even Alice became accustomed to the bizarre happenings of Wonderland soon enough... At first you feel lost and dazed by what's happening all around you, but soon realize that not only are you saying the right things and behaving normally, you're becoming almost desensitized to the very thing that made it horrible and strange in the first place. As though you lose focus and mentally alter your perceptions to force yourself to understand what's up with your life.

The seasons are changing for me... I'm staring at a crossroads and every decision seems heavier, more weighted and potentially life-altering than usual. The loss of a friend - it's tragedy and cruelty is forcing a new maturity on me that I just hope that I'm ready for. A child, parent, friend, sibling and lover - I mean, doesn't that describe me, too? Why am I here, and what if I weren't? Are any of us truly what we want to be, and would others remember us that way? Could life really be simple? Could we enjoy more? Love more? Just breathe more?

It's time to try.

K.L.R.

Down to the bottom 3... America's last chance to vote for the 1 they love! The opening montage/video made me cry - but not until the 1st shot of Alex.
Dance #1
Kent/Lauren (all-star)
Bollywood
What I could see of the dance was good, typical bollywood stuff. Does this dance ever look different? Guess not. They were fun to watch, maybe more technical or challenging than usual. Isn't Kent the cutest bunny ever?

Dance #2
Lauren/Twitch
Hip Hop
Awesome!! Anything w/Twitch is gonna be good, and tonight was no exception! The attitude was there, the skills were there - everything was strand and well done and she did excellent. She's so good @ taking a character and making it hers.

Dance #3
Robert/Mark
Jazz
Whip it! One of my all-time fave songs ever! Ok, that seemed more Broadway to me, but it was fun and incredible to watch. Seriously, it was almost like an 80's music video, but w/better camera work. Robert has gotten to be truly excellent this season and, like Lauren - but more so - his ability to absorb any and all characters is phenomenal. He always looks like he's enjoying himself.

**Random Cat quote - 'cookie bonkers' - what's up w/that? :)

Dance #4
Kent's solo

Dance #5
Lauren/Robert
Contemporary
The pillow was... different. The dance was beautiful! Not necessarily emotional or riveting, but technically stunning and elegant. Had to agree a bit w/Adam, the action/reaction flowed beautifully and perfectly.

Dance #6
Lauren/Kent
Jazz
Thank God for commercial breaks - poor girl! Ok, that was definitely a cute dance but nothing too amazing. Not very challenging but fun and light and silly.

Dance #7
Robert's Solo!

Dance #8
Kent/Alison
Contemporary
That was so gorgeous and perfect and real! Kent did such a great job! Very powerful and emotional. Kind of surprising actually.

Dance #9
Lauren's Solo!

Dance #10
Robert/Kathryn
Broadway
Cool! lol, seriously that was sooo Broadway! I'd definitely pay to see that performance (yeah - didn't have to!). I'm so proud of him - what an impressive performance.

Dance #11
Lauren/Pasha
ChaCha
Is Pasha's hotness even legal? Someone should check that out! That dance was so sexy! She nailed it! They were absolutely perfect together, and she did the 'embarrassing' moves just fine as far as I'm concerned.

Dance #12
Kent/Robert
Malevos
That was pretty good for a brand-new (for the show, that is)style. They both did very well for a technically challenging, fast, super-macho dance. It's really a very interesting style and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.


Well, I have just one thing to say about who will win -- ? They are all soooo good! Were they this good however many weeks ago? I don't think so, but I do know this will be the best (and worst!) results show that I can remember... only the icky hairbands can know for sure.

this is a test

YOU GOTTA KNOW WHEN TO HOLD 'EM, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM

ok, I know I've been remiss in my blogging lately, but I've been super busy and blah, blah, blah...

Anyway, my bmf gave me a topic to do when I just couldn't think of anything and today is the day... this one is for you Special K!!! lol

Today's topic is panties. Yeah, and what does one say about panties? I'm not sure, so I'm totally gonna wing it here. We all wear them (except you hoochie girls -- you know who you are), we wash them, we spend so much time contemplating which ones to buy, but how big a deal are they really? Pretty big deal, actually. How many times have we rolled our eyes when mom or grandma said to make sure we have clean ones on when we leave the house, but we secretly think 'oh, crap, if i get in an accident or whatnot, do i want paramedics/ cops/hospital staff/ect. to see that i have on my holy drawers?' (thanks a lot George Clooney!). And why do we have special ones for laundry day? You know

the ones, the big comfy white ones that you don't remember buying, because only your mom would buy those for you but somehow you have them?

Color and style are important, too! We need the cheeky hipsters when we're feeling fun and frisky. Those come in all the cute patterns and prints. Color is very important! For example, a friend of mine says she has a mustard colored pair that are really pretty, until you put them on, then not so much. Be careful, when choosing colors, that you always have a few that will work under light colored outfits (no matter how hot you or your man think you are, no one wants to see your sea foam green undies under your white shorts, gag!) Then there are the comfy, but not ma-ma ones, like bikinis and lowrise for everyday use. Not to mention the ones that make us feel all sexy and Victoria's Secret-y... the fancy panties!!! The ooh-la-la kind with sparkles and bows and very little fabric. These are the ones that make every girl -- no matter how many freckles she has or how flat/bubbly/perky/not-so-perky/white/tan her tush is -- feel like a million bucks.

And buying panties can be so therapeutic! Have you every had a bad time shopping for underwear? There are some really lovely brands and styles that are easy to find (even on sale). You can go with your girlfriends, your man or just solo- and enjoy the experience! No one will judge your selections... they don't have to be "the latest fashion", they just have to fit you and your personality. So go out there and be confident in your panties, ladies! Whether you're in your business suit, your track suit (sorry, i know, hello 80's!), or your birthday suit - decorate your booty and be happy - no one has to know (unless you want them too ;).

THEY CAN'T BE SAVED!

8 days until we have a winner... oh my goodness! I'm not going to read Jessie's blog first, don't want to influence my opinions, so here goes! First let me say 'gag me w/a braided hair headband - which may or may not be real hair. And Tyce is visiting -- I would say yeah except...
Dance #1
Group piece by Tyce - Broadway # from Guys & Dolls
It was boring at best, and I usually like the Broadway numbers. None of them were impressive, but the costumes were great.

Dance #2
Lauren/Pasha
Tango
That dude is so, so macho! It was steamy and done fairly well, but not special enough for this point in the competition, I think. and did Adam just go there?

Dance #3
Adechike/Lauren
African Jazz
What an unfortunate pick for him on such an important week! What is going on here? The dancers need the choreographers to be on their A game this week and so far not so much. This is too unfair.

Dance #4
Robert/Anya
Viennese Waltz
Personally, I thought it was a beautiful song and routine. He did very well, it was a sexy, emotional dance, but not overwhelming.

Dance #5
Kent/Kourtney
Disco!
It was choppy and forced. There was that one scary, super fast spin otherwise it was a lot like Kent's pants - weird and awkward. Another bad routine to start.

Dance #6
Lauren/Ade
Jazz
Her outfit was so naughty! So far the best routine of the evening, very athletic and elegant.

Dance #7
Adechike/Kathryn
?
Ok, let me just say that was a jacked-up mess. Nothing flowed well - the choreography tonight was a total nightmare!!! The best part of that dance was when they did the interview with him after - it was beautiful.

Dance #8
Robert/Dominic
Hip Hop
That was psychotic and wild and beyond crazy fun! Brilliant was the perfect word -- damn! Probably one of my top 3 faves this season

Dance #9
Kent/Neil
Contemporary - TRAVIS!!!!
Um, okay, now I know how ballet dudes fight. Not sure at first what to think of it, but I liked it and even though it should have been super-fruity (like one of Adam's outfits/gestures/sentences), it was very real and totally awesome.
