DWTS Season 27: Week 2

-
Cute opening. Although I miss pure ballroom openings. Demarcus. A bit fast for a foxtrot. I think he had his arms /shoulders too high in hold. It was decent, but something was a bit off for me. A bit high but may end up being one of the better of the night. Danielle. Not very good. I know she can't see, but technique was non existent. Too high.  John. Felt more Broadway than Charleston. The Charleston parts were off. The rest was cute at least. Too high. Barely 7s for me. Nancy. I saw heel leads, bent knees, not closing her feet on the chasses, and not actually moving during chasses and lock steps. Not very good. Too high. Alexis. A few hiccups surrounding the skirt and I think she should be able to point her toes better. Didn't really feel like an Argentine tango. Too high. Joe. Better than last week, but he also had far fewer steps. And the few he did felt like dance by numbers. Too high given he didn't do anything. Tinashe. I liked it. The tri...

DWTS Season 27: Week 4

It's trio night. Should be fun. Juan Pablo w/ Melissa Rycroft. Hot, but not much cha cha to that dance. His knees were bent during the cha cha. Too high. Tinashe w/ Amy Purdy. Too open but full frame would've looked odd with the three person tango. But that song wasn't a good choice for tango. Too high. John w/ Joey Fatone. Interesting, but not really feeling the Argentine tango from John. Joey's eyebrows helped. Too high. Evanna w/ Scarlett Byrne. That wasn't very good from either of them. No hips. I liked the song but didn't feel salsa. Too high. Demarcus w/ Rashad Jennings. Neither has their hips forward properly, but Rashad carried the rest of his body better. Demarcus looked too bowed over. Too high. Mary Lou w/ Nastia Liukin. Cute. Best part was probably that balance lift with both ladies. Too high. Milo w/ Riker Lynch. They matched. Could've used more hips in places and I think the shoes made them look very flat footed. A bit...

SFS2015 - August

Month: August Spent: 27.31 Earned: 66 And I've made up for my huge deficit last month. Almost everything I bought from the Christmas in July sale is finished. And as I was very good but between catching up and Herrschners having a 20% off code (plus 10% from joining their savings club recently), I treated myself to some downloadable patterns.  The last two have fabric requirements for cross stitch or needlepoint. One thing that I seemed to have mentioned on my blog at all are my two afghan orders from Herrschners. The last is in the mail as I write this post, thus the download only splurge. The sports pillows and the cat are no longer available on their website. And two are knit. I figure it's a good way to force myself to actually learn. I bought a set of needles a while ago. They're still in the box.
