MADE IN AMERICA

A few years ago, I choreographed a Burlesque Troupe called "MADE IN AMERICA" that traveled Europe dancing and making me proud. Thanks to my good friend Jay, I now have some of the footage in file format to share. This is Britney Spears' "TOXIC" and the girls were dressed as schoolgirls during the show. This was one of the best numbers in the short 30-Minute performance and was shot at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood, CA. ENJOI=]

This is Beyonce's "CRAZY IN LOVE" and was the opening of the show. The footage is very raw, but gives a taste of what I do. Thanks for watching and thanks to Tyler, my dear friend for giving me the stage to step back into the dance world. I love you, Always.

HOLIDAY HUMOR

TOP MODEL is Saleisha !

Saleisha is the TEA !!!

I was right, so there! Find me a pageant to judge, my girl won! On the season finale of "America's... Next... Top... Model..." (Wow--Tyra can drag that out when she announces the winner!) our dark berry scored the crown. Jenah pulled through in the eleventh hour by letting Tyra and Company through her tough shell when she broke down and cried, cried, cried. Good for her, but she was let go and Chantal and Saleisha "Stomped to Their Death" on the runway closer. All four judges came down the runway through hundreds of Chinese extras, with Tyra rounding up the four SERVING IT! It was wonderful seeing her on the runway again, socking it to 'em, to us! Once the show begun, Jaslene walked first then the two competitors. Saleisha strutted it out fiercely. If Chantal had not tripped-up the stilt walker on the runway with her train from hell, causing him to fall and shaking her off her game, and if she lost her deer-in-headlights look, she might have done better. But, damn she looked lovely! They both did, just LOVELY! Saleisha stood radiant as she prepared to be named winner. She had the look Eva did when she won a few cycles ago. Confidence, accomplishment, desire. I was happy to see the cycle end and hopefully when The CW picks it up for another season, if the Writer's Guild mess is straightened out, the new crop of Wanna-Be's will turn it up a notch and turn us out!

Congrats Saleisha !!! Call me, Girl !

Model SHOCKER !

So FINALLY, "America's Next Top Model" excites and kicks Bianca to the curb, so to speak. They are now in Beijing and as Jenah fell apart at the homesick seams, Bianca focused her attention on the other girls and how she felt they shouldn't be there anymore. It screamed insecurity and youth as she sent Jenah off on some wild goose chase looking for fierce clothing, that wasn't to be found. Karma's a bitch, huh Bianca? In the end, Jenah won the challenge, Saliesha turned it out in her photo climbing the Great Wall of China, and Chantal was the first one called out of the final three, "Still in the running to becoming America's Next Top Model." Even though the show has never produced a TOP model in the industry. Something they claim each cycle that they will accomplish, but don't. Some of the runners-up have gotten more runway and face time than that of the winners, so it just goes to show that if you don't win the first time (i.e. Jennifer Hudson), there's a reason getting you ready for the time you do win.

My prediction, the final two Chantal and Saliesha, with the dark berry reigning supreme.
