What IS the world coming to, DF?
Talk about the state of the nation, it's an absolutely bloody FARCE. Of course the Argentine Tango is not a ballroom dance, the world is going to the dogs.

Thank you!
Mind you, if they'd been doing Ballroom Tango, his outfit still would have been wrong. But it's very difficult to talk whilst performing one of the Latin dances, cos they're fucking difficult.

But of course, you know that.

From the outsiders point of view
All the outfits are wrong

Not so - I can give you two examples of Ballroom outfits that are spot fucking on
a) Tailcoats
b) Whatever Ms Foxtrot is wearing

Otherwise, god yes, every time I go to a competition I spend my whole day stifling the urge to giggle uncontrollably

Disagree on tailcoats - they look wank
The laydeez dresses on Strictly can be good

I love the look of a good tailcoat
Possibly I've been part of the Ballroom world too long and am searching for diamonds in the shite though.

Sadly most female Ballroom dancers are fuck-ugly for some reason, but the occasional looker with decent taste in dresses can look fucking amazing.

Many of them seem to have misunderstood the 'Tango' bit.
Fucking Oompa-loompa slags.

Nail on the head
One of my biggest gripes as regards Ballroom is how much appearance counts for and how being orange seems to have retained importance as a convention. There's something very sobering about using a bathroom mirror to do your tie up and having to share it with a man who's painting his face orange using ridiculously heavy foundation.

It's moments like that
when having a cut-throat razor up the sleeve can really pay dividends.

I'm going to click this as well
for two reasons. One, for resisting the open goal. And two, it's been ages since I've seen a decent use of "pay dividends".

Its been a while
sobering about pleasurable

painting his face orange tickling my tonsils with his glans

You know, like bumming them or something?

nothing that you would wear in real life though
but to be fair, they're designed to be eye catching. and for some reason, to be as revealing as possible.

I tend not to wear that kind of thing at any time b3th

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 10 May 2011, 15:21, Reply)

I meant 'you' as in 'one'
It's when you see the dresses in long shot and it looks completely backless and half frontless, then you see it close up and it's all body-stocking and gaffer tape. What's the point of that?

I saw some proper Tango dancing and singing in BBAA
both street and ballroom, and it's amazing. Even Mark finished with goose bumps. We went to a lesson too. Well funny, and not as difficult as I thought, for the first easy steps.

I wish I had a scanner at home.
There are some cracking pics in that Joey book - there's one of him and Ernie Roberts in what appears to be a kind of tandem wheelchair.

It's brilliant.
