a dapper (and sometimes disgruntled) take on popular culture

Earlier this week my friend Geraldine had an extra ticket to the So You Think You Can Dance concert in Oakland and I, like the devoted fan I am, went to support the band of reality show dancers.
It’s funny – right after she called to invite me, I got an email from the PR people [...]

BLASPHEMY!
Yeah, I think I am ready for this season to be over. I just want them to choose a winner and get it over with. After watching tonight, I just don’t really have a favorite. Actually I think my favorite was becoming Will until he got the boot.
In a word, I am bored. The timing [...]

So if you read that again, it says was. Actually, I was just asked.
One day, in this post-lay off era, I decided to check my messages from my work phone (before they cut it off). Some dude left a message asking if I was interested in being a part of this “reality show” project.
He didn’t [...]

Okay, I am kind of pissed off about tonight’s show. Plus, I am kind of tired so that’s probably why I am a little irritable.
This week was their “bring the beat” challenge, where the crews had to make “beats” to dance to. Kind of like “Stomp.”
Anyways, here’s my take for tonight. I’ll keep it [...]

So I am watching America’s Best Dance Crew and it looks like Mario Lopez got that shirt from the clearance bin from the little boy’s section at JC Penney.

But kudos to Fanny Pak for busting out that picture of Lopez during his jheri curl Slater days.
And I have to give love [...]

Whoa. Things took an unexpected turn this evening on SYTYCD. First off, the bottom two guys were Will and Twitch.
That’s a shock.
The bottom two girls were Comfort and Courtney – okay, that’s not too shocking.
And I must say that Cat Deeley looks like a cocktail waitress at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas.
Enough of that…
So the [...]

Hmmm…
Based on the bottom two pattern we’ve been seeing and on tonight’s solo performances, I would have to say Mark and Comfort.
My choice is totally objective. I really like these two kids – they have spunk! I am basing it on what’s been going on with the show and on my reaction to the solos.
Will [...]

The title says it all…the two disco bunnies did a disco by the lovely disco queen Doriana Sanchez…
Doesn’t Doriana remind you of Stevie Nicks?
There were some minor fumbles here – but they were eclipsed by those intense lifts. The disco routines always make me nervous, they seem like they’re going to be fun, but then [...]

Comfort and Mark took on a glamorous foxtrot…
Screw technique, this routine made me smile.
In your face judges! You notice how Mary sounded like a dude when she started her critique?

For Katee and Twitch’s second routine, they made it hot with a Broadway routine by dance impresario
Tyce…
The couples are really using a lot of props tonight aren’t they?
This was fun!!! Everyone is doing well tonight! I am so proud for each and everyone of them!
As for Twitch and Katee, why didn’t they doing that [...]
