SexyChattyCatty: This 'Dance' Show Sweeps Me Off My Feet
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CONTINUES TO ENRAPTURE ME. 
Some of my YouTube favorites are the show's auditions. This year’s contestants are crackling and I would hate to be a judge. I love seeing break-dancers do the Tango and contemporary dancers from Kansas stomping a hip-hop routine as if they lived on 125th Street. I have my favs, but I'm not rooting out loud cause I tend to jinx competitors (see the Phillies, Sixers, Flyers). But I will be there every Wednesday night at 10.
And, people, it’s time to cut or be cut. The second season of Bravo’s Shear Genius has started and so far it's off to a good start.
These shows seem to always telegraph the person who’s going home next. First you'll hear them harrumphing how great they are in their interview snippets and how they're going to win. Then, poof, gone, haha.
The contestants’ first challenge was to cut hair BLINDFOLDED. The models had on safety glasses but they weren't the ones in danger. All the cuts looked wacked to me.
The second challenge of the episode was the show's real winner. The contestants had to update the cartoon hairstyles of celluloid celebrities such as Wilma Flintstone, Judy Jetson, Betty Boop and Marge Simpson. It was great!
There were two updates of each style. The contemporary "Wilma" won and rightly so, for the hair color was extraordinary and the styling was so Stone Age circa 2008. Just fab. I can just hear Fred purring approval. One of the Betty Boop updates was also to die for. See the photos here and judge for yourself.
Oh, and host Jaclyn Smith looks 40 but her voice is all grandma quavery. It’s oddly disconcerting. She’s joined by celebrity stylist Kim Vo and Allure beauty editor Kelly Atterton. Stylist Rene Fris is the Tim Gunn of the show. Rene is movie star handsome, but his Danish accent is foreign to my ears as opposed to Tim’s crisp English. But who needs to hear him when you can look at him all night?
