DWTS

At church on Sunday my friend asked me if I'd like to go to DWTS on Monday because she had 2 tickets and her husband didn't really care if he went or not... My response went a little something like this:
"WHAT??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!! DON'T JOKE AROUND WITH ME..." long pause, deep breath, "IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!"

So, I got to go to the competition show last night!!! We got all dressed up, because on the information the send you they tell you this is a semi-formal event, and we ended up dressed the same (again like always, we're telepathic) and took off at noon. We had to park at the Grove in Hollywood, a very cool place, but swanky! Holy geez, I wouldn't go in most of the stores because they would laugh at my Target shoes or something...

We had priority seating, so we were in our own special line, #'s 5 and 6 actually. And there were celebrities EVERYWHERE! I went to the bathroom and there was Dr. Drew! And my oh my is he handsome! We saw Kelly Preston, Connor Cruise, Florence Henderson, Marlee Mattlin, Adam Levine, David Chazeaz, Holly Madison... and then the dancers. It was so fun!!!
We were able to sit on the bottom floor, we were right in front of the sound guy, so we were able to hear everything that was going over the radio... the band leader is really funny (Harold Wheeler) and the n the MC had his equipment right behind us so we made really good friends with him, his name was Rodger and he earns $4,000.00 a night. (Billy is in the wrong business) Plus he works other shows...

Here are things that really surprised me:
1- The set is very very pretty (I don't think it looks as good on tv)
2- Len Goodman is so incredibly tall and has the most perfect posture you've ever seen! He glides when he walks.
3- Maksim is actually very nice, I always think he comes off like a jerk on the show. But he was walking around and talking to everyone (seriously good looking too)
4- Tony D is the cutest guy ever! He is always so happy and sneaks out to talk during breaks.
5- Those costumes they wear are WORKS OF ART! On tv they are pretty and sparkly, but when they are right there in front of you, you can tell they are genuine Swarovski crystals and are so beautiful!!! Kirstie Alley's was so beautiful!
6- I think I will vote for her and the cute blond Chelsea... whose jive was amazing! Ralph and Chris.
7-Petra is way too tall to dance like they want her too. Because she's a model she does not have the muscle strength to move like that. But she is so nice, her boyfriend was a couple of rows in front of us an she came to kiss him.
8- Chris Jericho's son sat there the ENTIRE time and was the perfect angel!
9- After the show, we got moved down to the very front and got to sit behind Tom Bergeron as he taped stuff for the recap show tonight... so you may see us! We're the happy brunettes in black dresses and jewel toned sweaters!
10- Brooke Burke has no personality, but is gorgeous! And Tom is the funniest guy ever!
11- You can hardly hear anything the judges, Brooke or Tom say!
12- You have to clap so much your hands feel like they're going to bleed!
13-As we walked out Kendra Wilkinson's husband walked out right behind us, he's really short! He's probably my height! I was really surprised about that. But Holly Madison is the shortest person ever and looks like the barbie doll you'd expect.

I still can't believe how much fun we had! And we got home around midnight.
