I got my results from Mia

Group Dance: “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder

MIA - you are a GODDESS!!! This is all I really watch the results show for.

But as for the elimination results, I was sorry to see Ashley go because I really felt she was put in the bottom by Kupono, who should have left before Max. Max was doing great but I don't think he could have stayed in the competition much longer.

Ade is BLOWING me away in Mia's choreography. I agree that he could be the one to beat.

    in related news, Brian Friedman sent me a direct message on Twitter! I had put this tweet out there after the top 18 performance show: "dear costume ppl for #SYTYCD: please don't dress men in S&M / Hammer-Pants outfits (Max) it's far too distracting from @brianfriedman genius"

    and he responded: brianfriedman: hey pumpkin... i dressed max in that outfit not wardrobe... my vision... ;)

    so I really hope I didn't insult him, because his vision is freaking brilliant, I just didn't happen to understand Max's get-up :P

    I love your comments. I was disappointed by the Max decision. He may be limited but I felt that both of his numbers were good whereas Kupono stank on Wednesday night. Oh well, I guess more and more of the ones we love will go home. Only one can win. Again love your info and very cool that Brian Friedman tweeted you. Tivo Mom

    I blamed the pants too. Coming from an art form that can have some pretty out there costumes I feel for dancers where the costume is distracting.

    As for Mia's dance I am so interested in her inspiration. My husband is a Kiwi and I wondered if she was inspired just by the All Blacks Kiwi Haka or by more traditional Maori dances. Either way I loved it! and have watched it 4 times.

    oh you mean because of the designs on their faces in the routine? yeah I wondered about her inspiration as well... who can possibly fathom the minds of Mia, Wade, Brian, etc...

Belly Dance Practice On The Go

Hey dancers - frustrated because your budget or time doesn't allow for belly dance class? Do you spend countless hours behind a computer desk wishing you could be practicing dance instead? Well good news, you can practice isolations just about anywhere!  Sitting at your desk :   1. alternating glute squeezes.   This is pretty easy to do without anyone noticing (so long as your face isn't making a weird expression. :) As you hopefully know, alternating squeezing each butt cheek is a great way to build up your shimmy strength (while also building muscle memory). First make sure you have the correct posture. Then focus the mind on right cheek, squeeze and then left. If you can only do it slowly that's just fine, it's still an effective exercise and eventually you'll easily speed up. For more info on glute squeezes see Shira's website .  2. pelvic tuck, glute squeeze (both together).   Make sure your posture is correct. Sit toward the back of your chair wi

Ben Browder Q & A 2013

I really don't know the legality of writing in detail about a ticketed event at a convention... but I just had to share the fun that was Ben Browder for my fellow Farscape fans.  He is also know for Stargate (which I didn't really watch but just might now!) and was also on a recent episode of Arrow. But my heart will always beat for John Crichton of Farscape .  Thanks to my AZ BFF Alisha, I was introduced to the most creative sci-fi show I've ever seen.  Working with the Muppet studios and fantastical make-up creations, the show TRULY felt like another universe that would be phenomenally confusing to any human.  And that is part of the humor in it for me... I don't want to spoiler anyone who plans to watch the show, but poor John is a brilliant astronaut who is accidentally sucked into another universe, fumbling his way through, perpetually confused and mocked mercilessly for it. I'd been kind of disappointed in certain sci-fi shows in the past in that the aliens

what 3 books would you take?

I finally saw the original Time Machine from the 60s and liked it very much (what true geek COULDN'T appreciate such a significant sci-fi movie from our history?). Kind of ashamed to say I hadn't seen it yet... I loved that even though it was made in 1960, it still kept true to the timeline of being set in the year 1900. Needless to say after major references from The Big Bang Theory I figured it was time to give it a viewing. Considering the time period it was made, the time-lapse photographic effects and costuming, props, etc were all so terrific that it didn't have that campy-old-movie feel. But what I loved most were all the thought provoking questions... too many Sci-Fi movies made currently just go straight for the effects and really miss the mark on screenplay, dialogue and message (*cough* star wars eps I-III *cough*). This is why I love Joss Whedon so much because in addition to great effects and action, you get humor, you get characters wrestling with complex
