I Wish I Was A Has-been Child Actor.

1)I LOVE her!!!!!
2)Go ALI GO!!!!



3) When people ask the question, what would you do if you didn't do the career you did do...I would have been a dancer. I love dancing, and it kind of surprises me that although I have taken many dance lessons...( ten years of hip hop workshops, jazz, interpetive) that I didn't consider it a job option when I was going to school. I guess being an artist seemed like a less risky economic venture. ha ha ha!
4) I totally have to eat my words during this season of Dancing With The Stars...and it kinda relates to the 80's.
5) I love Joey Fatone, I hated boy bands, trashed them back in the old days...but now, I love Joey Fatone. He is one of the best entertainers and great attitude and fun on the show.
6) I have no idea what boy band Joey Fatone was in, N'Sync?
7) Drew Lachey, also a former boy band member won two seasons ago...and I was crazy about him. Who know I would fall in love with boy band memebers?
8) I used to hate Billy Ray Cyrus. Yep, mullets and new country and achey breaky heart not my cup of tea. But my gosh...as a contestant and performer on Dancing With The Stars, he totally rocks. I love how kind he is, how funny and no matter how terrible a dancer he is, and he is...he keeps on putting on a show and being a good sport.
9) I've become a couguar when it comes to Apolo. Those two are awesome. I watched their PasoDoble a couple of times last week. And their Tango. They are so fast and use so much energy and imagination in their choreography, it's wonderful.
10) I love the judges. They piss me off sometimes, but they give me a lot of joy too. I am crazy about their nerdy humour...and did you know? Carrie Ann toured with MADONNA!!!
11) Beverly Hills 90210. Yep, I watched every single episode. And Melrose Place. But. My least favourite character was Ian Zeirling. Now, this dance program just seems to bring out the best in everyone. I love watching his segments of practice almost the most out of this seasons contestants. He is now one of my favourite folks. Plus, he had a cameo with Brian Austin Greene as themselves in some B-movie I saw last year. They were in a kidnap plot but I can't remember the name of the movie. They were both such campy good sports.
12) I am rooting for Laila. Last week her dad was in the audience and I started bawling. Stagg handed me the box of tissues. This program is like comfort food for me. I feel so happy and inspired and want to dance. If only I was a has-been child actor, or a former soap star or a 80's new country singer on a comeback. I would LOVE to compete on this show.
13) I was a Go-Go dancer for six months. It was one of the best gigs I ever had at RPM (now The Government) in Toronto. I auditioned a wild card and got a job. It paid 45 bucks for three hours and I was nervous but so happy as a pig in shit. Best money I ever earned and I had to spend it on the babysitter. I had no idea at the time I was making a beautiful memory. Gotta Dance!!!
