Boy, is that a show of extreme clothes! Some of the outfits are lovely, and some of them are HIDEOUS. And some non-existent... we call the woman who dances with Joey "Naked Girl" at our house, because her clothes are little wisps of things, and (to my mind) not attractive in any way.
The results show Tuesday had a funny short bit about the "culture" of competitive ballroom dancing, including the clothes, the hair, and the (fake) tans. I really enjoyed that. But really, I wish the women would wear more! And not just because my kids like the show. I think people just look better wearing clothes. And I can't imagine dancing in a glorified bikini. They must be glued on. Of course, I can't stand the women's sand volleyball "uniforms" either. Sara whatever-her-name-is, the one who is such a bad dancer, was supposed to be a sort of undead passo doble dancer, I think. My husband and I laughed all through that dance, and when it was over he reminded me that Olympic ice dancing had to ban dying at the end of the routines, because so many couples had done tragic death dances. I don't know if this one would count, though, because I think she was supposed to be dead already. But the Goth-inspired flamenco dress? Ugh!! I liked the guy's suit, though.
