dancing with the stars

Neil got me and Rach seats at the PREMIERE of Dancing with the Stars last night out at Avalon studios. While that may be, in fact, the most naff statement I have ever made with no irony, it was really cool. I insisted, of course, in running through every single TV cliche during the show including, but not limited to:

- Oooh it's smaller than it looks on TV.
- Jason Gunn is smaller than he looks on TV.
- What's that do?
- I want one of those.
- Look at that hair.
- Oh how exciting it's Martin Crowe.

The last statement was actually ironic. MArtin's plugs do look quite good though.

There was so much innuendo flying through the air that I felt sullied after by the grimy atmosphere. This included Rodney Hide's dance partner exclaiming with barely concealed contempt: OOh Rodney, you grew 3 inches just then.

Yuck. Apart from that (and the slightly mean song choice of "3 Times a Lady" for Beatrice Faumuina- well, duh..) it was so exciting to see behind the scenes. Neil got to go off and fraternise with the hot ladies in sequins while me and Rach wandered despondently across the cold carpark dreaming of a career in television and sparkly dresses and cut calves....
