Dancing With Champagne and Caviar

It's Just The End Of The Road

2008-01-10T14:54:00.001-08:00

*hums the song to herself*

Well guys, I think you may have guessed that this was on the way... It's certainly a long time coming (And even longer in that I was supposed to post this over a week ago... Whoopsies). And thus marks the end of our beautiful little blog.

That is not to say that we have any intention of deleting it - This has been far too important and meaningful an epoch in Taylor's and my lives for us to bring our selves to take it down entirely. But we do intend to disable the comments soon, and merely preserve it as it is right now.

Not that anybody really comes here anyway - I'll be surpised, in fact, if anyone ends up reading this post. We've been up here in cyberspace for about a year and a half now, far longer than either of us ever expected to last. We never even thought we'd find one reader, let alone all of you who have come along for the ride with us through this wonderful journey. Some of you may remember just how awestruck we were when we hit 100 posts... And 1000? If someone had told me we'd make it that far, I would have "shrimped" right in their face (*meaningful glance to the readers who have been here long enough to know what that means*).

The spirit of Benjelle... La Benjelle Familia... They live on within us still (As corny as that is). These last two summers have been the best of my life, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. We've made friends who we'll never forget... Friends so different, and yet so much more alike us than virtually anyone we know in our own home states.

And so we bid this blog adieu, but you, my lovelies, we shall never forget.

If you like to get in contact with me, go ahead and mosey on over to the fanfic site, where I still spend plenty of my time. And if you look in my siggy on there, my MySpace and Facebook are linked, as well. And I'm sure Taylor would love to keep in touch if you'd like to talk to her about the best way to do that.

This post can hardly do justice to all I need to say, but for now this will just have to do: Benjelle, La Benjelle Familia, Jes'Von, and Los Jes'Von Junkies (If any of you are reading this)... You made me believe in love. And for that I will always be greatful.

Peace, Love, and that Muppet-Driven KKD Truck!

Last night of the tour

*le sigh*

Hey

2007-10-14T22:56:00.001-07:00

(See Above)

HOLY SHRIMP!

2007-09-30T20:34:00.000-07:00

Mkay, I have, like, two seconds to post before I have to dart off to work on homework I'll never finish, but hottdamn!

Look at Ivan's MySpace... ARE HE AND JAIMIE A COUPLE!!! *Ivason-loving heart is crushed*

And there are a few semi-shippy Benjison pics on Benji's MySpace, but the Top Friends and such say otherwise.

Whoa.

So today...

2007-09-25T19:03:00.000-07:00

I saw Brian Gaynor on Ellen. ^^

The End.

ATTN. ALL SARA AND JESU´S FANS!

2007-09-23T19:48:00.000-07:00

[I'm frantically doing homework right now, so I'm just copying and pasting this from my thread of the fanfic boards]

I'm going to see the tour on November 18th (Gha, why so far away?????), and I'm sure you all know by now how much Sara has inspired me, and how much I'd die to meet her, yada yada yada. Buuuuuut... I'm chicken shit . So, as a little incentive for me to actually talk to her (Though I'm convinced I'm gonna faint), and a way to try to include those who can't go, I thought I might compile something to Sara (And Jesús) from all of us. Now, this isn't me trying to beat down the Sasha shippers, by any means. I'd love to be able to have everyone write something to all their favorites, but, as I said, I'm barely gonna be able to walk and talk, and I don't even know yet whether I can stay for the meet and greet. But if I have a legitimate reason to stay (To give this to Sara), and only one person to track down, it's infinitely more likely. You can write it to Sara/Jesús/Jes'Von... Whatever you want. I'd make it just to Sara, but I know that I have plenty to say to Jesús, too, and I bet some of you would love to. So yeah, there's that. I was thinking it would just be a book compiled of everything we want to say to them. And I was thinking that maybe we'd each have our name, picture, and signature by our message? I dunno, let me know you thoughts.

Basically: It will be in a photo album, with all our messages inside, along with our pictures, and signatures... If you want a blend you made to be included, I'll probably have a page for those. And if people want their montages put in, I will either link it on the page where their message is, or, if you guys can give me downloadable versions, I might put them all on a CD. Sorry that it's jsut for Sara and Jesús, but I don't know how long I can stay, and so I don't want to make any promises about getting the message to other contestants who I probably won't get to see. Oh, and I know I said this is to include those who can't go, but I'd love to work in as many fans of Sara and Jesús as I can, whether you'll be seeing them on tour or not.

Peace and Love!

..Excuse any random misspelled words...mispelled..?! Or incorrect marks of punctuation. It's late and I haven't gotten my Kevin Jonas fix yet. =/ That makes for a very delusional Taylor.

I know I haven't posted here in a while....but to tell you the truth I don't think that I can start posting regularly until like the end second marking period. =|

But anyway, my sister and I were watching Disney channel [because we are obsessed with it **Speaking of Disney..poor Vanessa--but that's a whole different post] aaaand we were watching a Corbin Bleu video. And we think that one of the backup dancers was Dominic. Maybe. Maybe not. You see for yourself. :]

Oh, and here is Donyelle's latest bulletin:

Date: Sep 9, 2007 5:06 PM
Subject: I AM TAPING VIDEO BLOG TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
Body: Hey everyone,

I know it's been a long time and I've promised a video blog. Well I am taping it today and it WILL BE UP IN A FEW DAY.

You will be hearing more from me, I promise. I have some things that I'm working on that will make sure of it.

See you soon and thanks for your patience .

Donyelle Jones

But yeah, as I said, please don't be upset that we haven't updated in a while. I've basically vanished from every online site besides pac sun and myspace. And AIM. But...that's not really a site, I guess. But uhrm. Yeahhhh. I'll try to update more instead of like once a year. 0_0 I know that the readers don't want this blog to die, and neither do we...we meaning Hannah and I.

GAH. I'm babbling. So um, comment and shout on the shoutbox and do cool stuff.
I'm off to drool over the Jonas Brothers.

-Taylor :P

Please Help Me Make This Video!!!

2007-09-07T18:08:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Oh my God, has it really been that long since my last post???? And this one's not really going to be that satisfying for you, either...

Well, you know how, a few months ago, I really wanted to make that montage of all of us dancing? Well, it obviously fell through, since VeeVee was the only one who sent me a video, and her's wouldn't even open on my computer... But now I'm going to try to make it happen again, and I'd really love your guys' help.

Now, I DO want to make this just for the heck of it, but it's actually for school, too. I missed a couple days of dance (Yes, I'm taking dance now *spaz*) when I was really sick, so I have to do a little bit of make up work. It can basically be anything I'd like it to be, so long as it involves dance, so I thought of this.

I know there's a good chance it will fall through again, so I do have a back up plan, but I'm posting this on the fanfic site, too, to open it up to all the friends I've made in the Jes'Von Junkies, and I'm HOPING that that will help me gather enough clips, because I REALLY want to make this.

I know I originally said that I'd send it to Benji and Donyelle, and I still can if you want me to, but I really just want to make this for the heck of it, and I'll be ecstatic if you can contribute.

So, for any who didn't see my original proposal, here's the only thing you have to do: Just video tape yourself dancing (ANY kind of dance. You don't even have to be a dancer - Just do something funky for me if you don't think you can do anything else), put it on your computer, and email it to me at < b e a t l e m a n i a c 3 5 7 @ y a h o o . c o m > (If you're going to send me a video, please let me know on here, and tell me about when you can get it to me by, so that I don't make the video before recieving your clip). I can open .avi, .mov, and now .wmv on my computer, so any of those forms will work.

Thank you SO much to anyone who decides to help me out!

~ Moosey ~

Whoa...

2007-08-20T21:46:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just found this old interview with Jesús... Apparently he worked with Dorianna Sanchez (Seriously??? Botox disco lady??) in the Circus?? COME AGAIN?? Whoa...

JESUS SOLORIO

JESUS SOLORIO, like so many other dancers in L.A., was a home town studio star who is now learning the hard realities of L.A. Correspondent Suzi Miller Fuentes first met him several years ago at Class Act Studios in Central Clifornia. Jesus settled in Hollywood two months ago.

Suzi: Tell us how you came to LA.

Jesus: I first came out here a year ago and while taking classes, I went to Janet Jackson�s audition just for the experience, and I made it to the second cut. But from that audition, I got called by an agency.

SMF: They saw you at the audition?

J: Yes, they gave me a card and asked me to call. But I didn't ....

SMF: Why on earth not?

J: I needed to find out some things first - I wasn't really ready yet. I went back home to Paso to figure it all out, and then I got a call from Doriana Sanchez who was putting together a circus.

SMF: How did you know Dori?

J: She came and taught a dance class at my home studio. This was years and years ago. and my teacher, June Greenwalt, mentioned me to her. So, she was putting together a Latino Cirque du Soleil and she thought I might be good for it because I'm Hispanic....not the circus itself, but a promo for it. That was a two day job, and the next day, I went to the formal audition for the actual circus. There were about 20 people - it was by invitation only. Then I got the call and she said I was in, I got the job!

SMF: How did you feel?

J: Very, very happy! It was called Circo Fantastico. Dori told DDO Agency about me and they came to the circus and signed me. This time, it was right. They started sending me out as soon as the circus ended.

SMF: What auditions did you do?

J: Men In Black, Disney Cruise Lines, Pepsi, Radio City Music Hall ...

SMF: How many auditions do you usually have? J. On a good month, maybe four a week, on a slow month, maybe one every two weeks.

SMF: How do you deal with it when you don't get the gig?

J: I just know it wasn't meant for me. I don�t put myself down or take it personally. I know there�s something out there that will be right for me, and I will shine in that.

SMF: How do you support yoursef in L.A.?

J: I work a regular job ushering at Mann�s Chinese Theater.

SMF: What an historically exciting place to work! How did you get the job?

J: After the circus ended, I moved into an apartment with my friends. I looked in the papers but didn't find anything. So I went out on my own to different theaters and stores asking to fill out applications. I just kept submitting applications for things I knew I could do well. Mann�s called back the same night I turned in the application. It was good timing.

SMF: How do you have time for auditions?

J: Right now, I work nights so it gives me free time in the day for auditions. It's hard though because requesting a schedule doesn't mean I'll get it.

SMF: What do you like about LA?

J: There are a lot of opportunities here. It's also that you're free; it's a big space and I feel free when I go out because I'm on my own. I walk down Hollywood Boulevard all by myself just thinking and feeling free.

SMF: What do you think are your advantages here?

J: Well, I can dance .... some people say I have a good look ... my sense of humor and hyper energy can be an advantage; sometimes people like to be around that. Hmmm. I'm nice, which can give people a good feeling, the feeling that I'll be a good person to work with. I'm very cooperative and I like giving energy out to others.

SMF: Your disadvantages?

J: I'm short. Usually choreographers want taller dancers.

SMF: Do you see any way your height could ever be an advantage for you?

J: Some singers are shorter, and my height could work for me in that situation. Having shorter dancers behind them makes them look taller. Also for commercial purposes I can read younger.

SMF: What are your goals?

J: I'm going for a lot of goals at one time and they all connect. Right now I'm considered a dancer, but I want to become a dancer/choreographer as well as an actor. Since I'm out here, I'm pursuing it all. I'm coming up with choreography ideas to try to put together a reel and I�m writing down all my ideas. I don�t want to sound full of myself, but I have a good feeling about jmy choreography because I�m blessed with a strong imagination. I�m also writing a script and sending it to a director I found in Backstage.

SMF: What advice would you give young readers who are thinking about coming out to L.A.?

J: Know that you have the strength to come out here and make it happen. Know that you�re ready to commit to your dreams. Know that you�re strong enough to be put down and not take it personally. Know you have the confidence and the ability to believe in yourself and what you�re doing. Just be smart. Also, it�s good to have an attitude where you know you�re good, but don�t let it look or feel cocky. Just know it and show it in your dancing. Try to develop an attitude of love. Show love in dance to let who you are shine through.

SMF: Any financial advice?

J: Learn to budget your money VERY well. You might find yourself at some point with a bunch of money because a job just paid, but don�t think, OK, I�ll pay rent and then go shopping...don�t think about the money you have left as spending money; spend it on food and resources you really need.

SMF: What about finding a living situation?

J: It's very expensive. In the paper there are always people looking for roommates, but I think the best thing to do is go to dance studios because there are always signs posted by dancers looking for roommates.

SMF: What did you do at your hometown studio to prepare for LA?

J: I thought a lot about how I would budget my money, and how I could prepare myself for this other world. I made a list for myself, it was Be Confident, Always Smile so your inside can shine through your outside, Budget your money, Get a job right away, Be prepared for put downs and rudeness, and just think and don't worry.

Muchos laughing love!

SYTYCD or High School Musical

2007-08-18T00:44:00.000-07:00

Mmaky, so my sister and I are huge fans of High School Musical... And by that I mean we mock it mercelessly and have had an amaaaaaaaaaazing parody planned for months (If we ever really make the video, I'll post it here). But yeah, so the second one premiered tonight, as you may or may not know, but she was going out, so we taped it, and just watched it now... And let me say... Loooooots of laughing... It's seriously like a two hour Old Navy commercial. With people dancing in the desert. And infinitely more cornyness than the first one. But my sister and I officially have a gajillion new inside jokes (i.e. "His pants are there to keep his legs from...fusing.") And ooh, ooh! Okay, so, because it was on tape, we were messing around with the speakers, and it started playing the sound for a design show on the channel the TV was set to, so it was, like, two southern voices speaking rather perfectly to the mouths of Sharpay and Ryan, and my sister fell off the couch... And then it was talking about superb countertops, and how she just loves him so much... And, literally, we were dying here. And we spent the entire time hoping for SOMETHING to make it not so Disney-friendly. I was so desperate that I swear to Buddha I heard her say, "But what about the drugs?" in the song where she's dumping him for being a bastard (The people in these movies are too damn forgiving).

But, yeah, so the point behind this story of our mocking is this:

Jaymz was in it! First Allison, then Sabra, now Jaymz?

Jesús!

teehee

Peace and Love!

CONGRATULATIONS SABRA!!!

2007-08-16T21:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I don't have time to type up an actual review *fcuking homework*, so I'm just copying and pasting what I said in Ora's thread on the fanfic board.

OH MY GOD, WHO WOULDA THUNK IT THAT AMERICA WOULD ACTUALLY GET IT RIGHT (Of who was left)??? Though, I've got to say, when Sabra and Danny were standing up there, I was like, "Oh shit, I don't know who I want to win!" I would have been ecstatic for either, but I didn't want either one to *not* win.

Anywho, um, LE JES'VON ON THE TOUR - AND I'LL BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so when Sara came on for the Disco, I was noooooooot happy (Though I was pleased to see that they gave her a more sturdy dress this time - phew). In fact, I believe my exact words were, "WTF??? That is sooooooooo not the best Sara dance!!!" I mean, I love that dance, but I wanted some goddamn Jes'Von, or at least WCS/Jazz/Argentine Tango... And then when she came on again for WCS, I was freekin' happy to see her again, and to see that dance, but my hopes of getting a Jes'Von were ever diminishing... And I fcuking screamed when the Vagabond Cabaret was picked!!!!! GHA!! *ahmazzing*

And I am awefully glad to see that the judges seemed to be able to *actually* choose their favorites this year. Other than the Dancey and Sabreil (Which also may have been their favs, but I suspect they encouraged somebody to pick those), they didn't spread them out to include everybody. In fact, Sara got three of her dances chosen as favorites, which leads me to believe that the judges love her (Want to screw her) as much as we do (Though only Jesús... And Moosey... Fine, and the other Semi-Bi Skanks... Are permitted to).

God, that was amazing.

*le sigh*

Though the Catigel dance is gonna give me nightmares for years to come.

*shudder*

Peace and Love!

Vids

2007-08-16T07:19:00.000-07:00

Thanks nighttiming for these vids!

Sabra and Lacey's fox dance. I loooved this dance. I think it was really good...I dunno what Nigel was talking about. >[ Sabra was OBVIOUSLY a little fuzzy animal of some sort. Gah.

Neil and Danny contemp. My sister basically killed herself over this dance and the annoying clapping because it was too great. haa. loser. XD Almost as much as "AWW. YUHMMEE?." haha. *hip twisting* XD --insidejokes-- But this was a really really good dance. GO MIA!! ...and I think that Neil should consider wearing eyeliner all the time. *drool*

Top 4-Broadway. Uh. Sexyback was better. =| But Neil and Lacey...O_O whoa.

Gah. Neil is so amazing. He has so much chemistry...he's like Criss Angel...or Corbin Bleu. There is no way you can't like him and his slightly dorky ways. =] -COOLKID-

WOW. This was insane. Made me smile. :) Danny is a champion. =D ♥

The beginning reminded me of Heidi...the ending was so Benji-esque. uh. but I really like the middle. =P
At least her dress was longer this time. =D And her song was cool.

SABRA FTW!!!!

[I'll post the rest when they're uploaded]

Moosey's Top Four Review

2007-08-15T22:53:00.000-07:00

Okay, so to say I'm done with my homework would be the biggest lie EVER, but my dad's working on the Calculus problems that I couldn't get no matter how many times I did them, and I fell asleep reading my text for APUSH, so I'm having my dad print out the shorter version (I can't open Word documents on my computer) for me to read during lunch. The point is, I've hit a, like, 5 minute lull, and I have to do something to keep from falling asleep before I'm done with Calc. Plus, I highly doubt I'll have any more time to write this tomorrow. ANYWAY, here's my review =).

Sabra/Neil Hip Hop: Oy, I hate it when the judges tear the dancers apart over what is likely precisely what the choreographer demanded of them. Shane was shaking his head in the audience, so I doubt that much if any of the criticisms really had anything to do with them. They did what he choreographed.

Sabra/Lacey Jazz: I don't know what the Hell the jidges were talking about, because I thought that was amazing. And, um, quoi? You couldn't understand the story, Nigel? If anything, it was almost too straightforward for me. Even without the explanation, I would have gotten it. And beyond that, it was some damn hard choreography. There was so much skill involved in it, and so much control required... God, I never thought Dan would seem like the most sane on the pannel.

Lacey/Neil Lindy Hop: Obviously, that dance was damn hard, and I commend them tremendously for what they did. But the judges shouldn't have praised them as though it had been perfect. There were several moments where I noticed a move not pulled off all too gracefully, and that should be acknowledged. Yes, you can point out how difficult those lifts and flips were, and how well they did considering, but don't pretend it was better than it was, just to sway the votes. I've seen Lindy Hopping (My sister has done some), and that just wasn't the best.

Danny/Neil Contemporary: Quoi? A Mia Michaels', you say? I would never had guessed if they hadn't told us, but I loved it just the same. This is when Danny's technique and Neil's tricks really shine, not to mention the brilliant performances they both put on. Every little detail was immensely entertaining for me.

Danny/Lacey Viennese Waltz: Nothing can ever beat out an original VFW for me, but this was pretty damn amazing. I loved it, and I loved all the adorable Dancey interactions.

Sabra/Danny Cha Cha: Pretty damn sexy. Loved the interactions here, too, especially since they're my two tops of who's left. I'm exhausted, so I can't remember the specifics of what I thought watching it, but I remember liking it, lol.

My Ranking:
1) Danny
2) Sabra
3) Lacey
4) Neil

Who I want to win: SARA! Haha, but of who actually *can* win, I'd go for Sabra, 'cause that girl's amazing, and it's about time a girl win it. But I would also be quite happy to have Danny take it (Those two are tied for me, except for the fact that a girl should get it, lol). And I could accept it if Lacey or even Neil got it. I don't think they should win, but they're all four phenominal, so it wouldn't be the most devastating of inustices (Like, oh, say... Sara going home) for one of those two to get it, instead.

Random comment: I loved to see that Danny and Neil were there *snaps for emphasis* instantly in the clip of Dominic dropping Sabra on her head during Hairspray. *hugs them*

Another random comment: WTF DAN??? Sabra was indisputably (Though I'm sure a ton of you will dispute it) carrying Dominic, not the other way around. *hides from Taylor*

Anywho, there's my far shorter than usual review.

Time for more Calculus.

Okay, guys, I'd love to post a review (Unlike last week, I actually have some inspiration to do so), but it's 9:00, and I have at least 4 or 5 more hours of Calculus and APUSH homework to do, so... I'll try to type one up tomorrow when I get home from school? Sound good? Good.

Top 8 Review

2007-08-01T23:00:00.000-07:00

Okay, time to review... Blah. So yeah. I'm drained, so I won't write much. Yeah...

Danra/Sanny Argentine Tango: Um, soooooo the sex. Gawd, that was friggen' amazing... The pretzel thing??? DAMN GIRL! And the prevideo was hilaaaaaaaaarious.

Domren/Lauric Krump: Yeah, it didn't do much for me. It just wasn't as hard hitting as I picture Krump being. And, I'm sorry, but Nigel commending Lauren for falling just didn't feel right to me... I kind of agree, in that I think it was a good move on her part to do that roll thing back off the floor instead of just plain falling... But it made me think back to when Allison dropped her hat during Bye Bye Blackbird with Ryan, and she made it into part of the dance. Both are *sort of* along the same lines, but Lauren's involves an issue with the dancing, rather than the wardrobe (Which really can't be blamed on Allison). And I know I'm getting ahead of myself ere, but then Allison dropping her hat made me think of Danny dropping his hat tonight, which he could have done more with. I know it was Hip Hop, not Broadwaym so it's harder to just pull a face and play it off, but something about what he did just made it even more obvious to me that it was unintentional. But it was good safety wise to get it off the stage. I dunno. Anywho, Krump tonight = mediocre for me.

Laceil/Neicey Latin Jazz: I have mixed feelings here. I actually agreed with everything that the judges said, but, even so, I was thinking, "Whoa, that's harsh..." And I really enjoyed the dance. The connection wasn't really there, but I still loved it. It made me think of Mia's "earthy" Jazz last season.

Pashra/Sabsha Broadway: I loved it. I thought they were great tonight. Now, I love Pasha, but the thing about him is that he does amazing partner work... He's always there for the girls, and he's strong in his dancing, but he kind of blends into the background sometimes because he's making the girls look SO good (Not that Sara nd Sabra can't do that for themselves, of course). Oh, and LMAO... Ally, Ora... I litterally started cackling when they did that move that was used in The Lioness Hunt. *wink wink*

Danra/Sanny Hip Hop: Okay, as soon as they walked on, I wanted to STRANGLE the wardrobe people... Um, WTF guys... Not okay to make ANYBODY living or dead wear that shit, especially not my favorite guy (Who's left) and girl... I agreed with everything Adam said to that effect... But, otherwise, I dunno what the schnizickel the jidges were talking about, cause I thought they were hot. They were totally on it 100%, and, frankly, the essence of what Nigel said to Sara was, "Come on, Sara, this is your style... How dare you not suck at it more to make your partner - who also kicked arse in this routine - look better, despite the fact that we keep stressing this as a SOLO competition now..." I was like, um, Nigel... Why does your bashing sound like it should be praise??

Domren/Lauric Rumba: Another 'meh' routine for me. I thought that Dom did infinitely better than last week, and God knows their costumes were preferable... But it really was a whole lot of posing, and not much dancing. Plus the song totally brought me back to last season and the Benjelle Montage/First Video Montage that I made to that song. AND, UGH, THAT KISS!!!!! *Smacks Dominic Non-Sexually* No kissing Lauren instead of Sabra, got it???

Laceil/Neicey Contemporary: *gets teary* Now, please don't kill me for this, but the dance, itself, didn't impress me that much. I thought they danced it amazingly, and the story behind it (Along with all the tears) was successfully DEPRESSING, but I was surprised at the judges' comments. I didn't, by any means, expect them to bash it... First of all, because it was well-executed, and secondly 'cause, um, how the heck could you say something bad about that when you know why Mia choreographed it??? I just don't see it as one of those routines that will be looked at as one of the greatest on the show. I thought it was really good, but the chorography just didn't serve it as one of those mindblowing routines I'm used to getting out of Mia.

Pashra/Sabsha Quickstep: I love it, seriously. There were little bits that obviously weren't perfect, but I thought they killed it. For me, they and Sara/Danny were the best of the night. Plus, Pasha looked like Jack Skellington... Which automatically makes it cool.

Moosey's Top Four (Of the night, but also overall): SARA, Sabra, Danny, Pasha
Moosey's Bottom Four: Lacey (Though I want her in my Top Four, too... She's, like, a hair behind Sabra), Neil, Dominic, Lauren
Send Home: Dominic (Or Neil) and Lauren

If Sara leaves, I will die.

End of story.

Peace and Love!

That was beautiful. <3

Haha, Vee... SYTYCD Two SHOES.

And Ora, Lovely, I will echo what I wrote in your thread as a response to these:

"QUOTE (orador @ Jul 31 2007, 05:56 PM)
these links are more specifically for Moose, but if you love Sara even a fraction of the amount she loves her then check em out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAvt134a7Fk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vtDHGyplm4

Haha, NOBODY loves Sara as much as I do (Not only has Jes'Von come up to at least the level of last summer's Benjelle obsession, but my Sara lovin' has far surpassed it). Awww, Ora, you know your little druggy so well... Yay for videos. In the first one, especially (Since in was all Jes'Von, I believe), I was watching the whole time, like, "Ooh, I used 75% of those clips in my Jes'Vontage! Eee, I love you"

Peace and Love to All My Hos!

2007-07-27T11:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm about to do a public apology rather like those of Mia and Nigel from last night (Though I find it quite shrimpy that we live in a world where they'd have to apologize for that, and where people choose to take offense just for the sake of taking offense - It's called free speech, you prats).

Anywho, I know I've been cursing a lot in these posts lately, since I tend to be rather highstrung when I decide to write anything, so I'm sorry. Partly because it caused this site to be blocked from someone's computer (LMAO, Sorry!!!), and partly because that's something I think you can be justly offended by. That's not to say that I, myself, would be offended were someone else to write this way, but I have several friends I need to watch my unruly mouth in front of, and I'm sure there are people who read this blog who would appreciate it if I do the same for you. Thus, from now on, I will attempt to restrict myself to the afore used replacement curses: Fuzz, Shrimp, and Quack.

And sorry once again for referring to them as prats in the first section of this post... If it helps, I brought myself down to that word from the one I was really gonna say. *hides*

Peace and Love!

Screams

2007-07-26T21:01:00.000-07:00

Okay, this is random, but I've spent the last 3 days going to sleep around 4, waking up around 6, and spending the entire fuzzin' day with 15 veeeeeeeeery trying 7 year olds... So I don't have it in me to type more.

I thought Jaimie would go home (More like prayed), but thought (Damn you, DialIdol) that Sara would be in the bottom too... So, when she was safe, I screamed "WHAT??????" and my sister and I (Who were lying on top of each other on the couch) both jumped up and cheered.

Okay, then, halfway through the show, my mom went to watch it in her room. We were watching it in HD on our main TV, so it comes a little slower... And Cat didn't even need to open the card for the guys, because, as soon as she held it up, we heard my mother's rather painfully loud scream of anguish.

Yeah, nothing else to say now.

Kameron got eliminated?

I didn't see that coming...

This season has the worst eliminations yet. UGH. Why is Pasha still here!?!?!? >(

*hides a smile* Dom is safe. =DDD

but...I don't think Kameron should have left.

-Taylor :P

PS- CHOMG! MIKA! *spaz* I love him so much. And his amazing blue pants. *walks off singing Lollipop* YEAH LOVE IS GONNA GET YOU DOWNNN! <3

Reviiiiiew Time

2007-07-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

Okay, the polls just closed here *eats hair nervously* so here ya go...

First of all, I must send out a general "WTF, NIGEL???" There were so many moments tonight where I wanted to slap him *cough*Sara's movements are not small*cough*!! But, God, most of all... When he was talking about how Sabra and Lauren were the best largely because they looked hopeful... Um, excuse me, but the song is "Waiting For The World To Change," i.e. "Our World's F*cked Up, And There's Not A Whole Lot We Can Do About It!" Hopeful is good, but excuuuuuuuse me if not everybody's hopeful about the war. They should be able to express whatever emotion they find fitting without that being critiqued as part of the dance (Unless, of course, it goes entirely against the message of the song and choreography).

Jaimie: Ah, I don't really know what to say. I like her okay, but she's never been a favorite, and I can't really connect to her. She should probably be next to go.
SARA: Okay, guys, it's no secret that Sara's my obsession this year (Along with Chuy, of course, *le sigh*). So am I biased? Maybe. But she whooped ass tonight (As usual XD). And, as I've been talking about with Ally, my heart was pouring out to my girl when that wardrobe malfunction happened. I so wanted Jesús to dive on stage and fix it for her :).
Lacey: Yay, she was amazing, too :). She wasn't the top for me in the solo, but, let's face it, most of the girls were equally amazing. So it's really hard to judge for me.
Sabra: She and Sara... God, their solos were so amazing... I love her to death. She's definitely in my Top 6, and she and Lacey are duking it out for Top 4 (I'd be happy with either up there, and heartbroken with either sent home... It's really a win/win lose/lose situation...).
Lauren: I know some people wanna hit me for this (Lauren fans excluded, of course), but I think she's been doing really well these last couple weeks. She's still in my bottom two of the four, but I think she was great tonight *hides from Orally*.

DANNY: GOD HE'S AMAZING! I've always thought that, but now that the personality's coming out now, and he seems less arrogant (I never really though he was, but he kinda came across that way), I'm loving him more and more every week. If he's not in the Top 4, we need a new America.
Pasha: His solo wasn't as good for me, but I love him, and want him in my Top 4.
Neil: Sheesh, he's sure got those acrobatics. Normally, I'd criticize him over musicality in his solo, since he tends to go for the flare, and make it more gymnastics than dance, but, seeing as it was choreographed by Wade this time, they really worked in his favor.
Dominic: I love him, and I love Dombra... But I've always thought he's been overplayed a bit too much (And I'd rather have Hok *tear*). I think he should go in these next two weeks.
Kameron: I'm a Kamcey girl, too... And I think they've been angling their comments to try to get rid of him... But there's some truth there. Same for him as Dominic.

Laurasha/Lasha/Pauren/Pashren? Hip Hop: She was definitely stronger from me *lifts shield against olive pelting from Orally*, but he was amazing, too. I though it was great.
Kambra/Sabron Contemporary: Who doesn't love Sabra's hair? Sheesh, it's amazing. lol, Loved the dance, too. I could definitely see Sabra outshining him. She rocks my octopus socks.
DANCEY (Bwaha) Samba (Was it a samba? God, spending my week with a bunch of first graders is totally frying my mind...): Amazing. I actually agreed with the judges comments... And, gha, I loved it.
Jaiminic/Domie Viennese Waltz (It so can't be called a VFW): God... Sorry, it was like the Kamcey Hip Hop routine for me, except I was actually cringing MORE (If that's possible), because, not only did I hate the choreography, but there were issues with the dancing, too.
Sareil/Neilra Disco: When I heard my girl had disco, I screamed, but I immediately knew that, if anyone could make disco appealing to me, it would be her, and she didn't let me down. That was AMAZING (Plus, she's sexy as hell :P).

Well, there ya go. Off to write my emo oneshot!

I really like this blog. :P

human part 2. "change a growth"
Current mood: being me

this is probably my most important blog ive ever written...also its the most important anythingive ever written for that matter....be patient!

my theme to life right now is best described by a new song from a friend of mine.
it's call run to you...and no its not the whitney houstin one ;P

turn look, look out and see
do you see me?
cause i think i see you
i have been some other place
the wind that i chase it all
just leads back to you

or how i'm still, so still..
its so far and
still i've ran
i knew you
when i was young
but where am i now?
that i am a man

run to you
i will run i will run
i will move right on through
all these things that i have done
and you'll take me back
i dont know why
i wanna say i'll never do it again
but i cant, but i will try
[Run To You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

turn look look out and see
do you see me?
cause i see think i see you
i have been some other place
the wind that i chase it all it just leads back to you
oh how i miss, what you miss
but i will fall time and again
and i will say that im true to you
but i'm a cheat
i don't understand

so i'll run to you
i will run i will run
i will move right on through
all these things that i have done
and you'll take me back
i don't know why
i wanna say i'll never do it again
but i can't
i wanna i'll never do it again
but i can't
but i will try

"wow benji...you look different"
"im very disappointed in you" "you're changing"
"we used to really love you"
"hollywood, and the world have gotten to you"
"bring back the old benji"
"it's sad to see you're giving in"

.....try hearing that about 200 times a day, and you'd want to respond and or defend yourself. hehehe

what's funny is that now, I don't feel angry towards these comments. and for sure wont feel bad at all if people are concerned for my wellbeing both spiritually and mentally..not to mention emotionally. It has nearly been one year since I made it to the top ten(congrats all season 3ers btw) and if you look at me there...I had shorter, dark reddish hair and i was clean shaven. now, im the same weight, 1 inch taller and my voice is a tad deeper(i dont know how that happened), my hair is lighter, a lil' longer, and sometimes i wear glasses. I even sport at times some earings that are fake.
first the hair,
when i was on the show i never tried to deviate from what i looked like form the top 20's first show till the voting was over, hense black hair on the finale. normally b4 the show, i died my hair every imaginary way in every imaginary color. i always wanted people to rememeber me on the show so i never drastically changed my look. on tour i died my hair a record 32 times...it got so "chemically enriched" hehe I decided to shave it off. grew it out, and am currently brown/dirtyblonde mixed...kinda normal for me but fun. i've decided im gonna have something completely opposite of me when I film my first movie in august.
Also, if anyone could see how bad my face breaks out in hives when i shave, you wouldnt want to do that much too...infact i have a special buzzer that doesnt get too deep near my skin, which is why i am seldom fresh faced as many would say.
the diamond earings, are in fact fake. ive been trying to develope my character a bit.
I play a more pompass and ignorant, yet pretty boy/wold spirited version of myself...who i wouldn't ever want to be like, which gives me even more reason to not look like me since he also is a dancer...i dont want people confusing themselvs that I'm just playing myself in this movie...no matter what.
It's hard sometimes...

I deeply feel the need to be a good example...espepcially to male dancers, and members of my Faith. Those that know me for me truly could see me in drag and know who i was and wouldn't care....I understand that I should avoid the pressence of evil, so that i should be the upright example that many out me out to be.

I for one know that there is only one true example that one should follow...and that's my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He lives, and that He died for me and for all of us. Whether you're Mormon or Catholic or Buddist, or Born Again(which is what im playing in the movie, but not necessarily the ideal good christian guy), or even athiest...it's what I believe and know to be true thru years of prayer, study, and especially from answers I've recieved from above.

I feel so bad sometimes when others accuse me of not being a good example. It's funny, because in a spiritual sense, I may not look like it, but I feel that I have had a new spiritual seed planted in me that took sometime to grow...especially after last years tour, I felt like I needed to step up a lot spiritually. I don't think I'll ever be the man i once was out in my misison that i served for my church in Oaxaca. It may be mostly for the fact that I spent every waking hour of the day, reading the scriptures for hours at end(not like the 15 minutes I normally do a day now that my schedual is so hectic...if that sometimes it's just reflecting off a verse! or that I was in the Lord's army if you will, all day long working for Him and His kingdom. I spend my day mostly focused on my art/passion/craft/work most of the time..just as all adults do...even the best ones.
I'm not married, I don't have kids, it's knowone's business who I'm dating if I am at all...so there are times when I share part of my busy self as well to a significant other.
I understand that no matter what I say, will never take away the fact that people look up to me...I guess there are worse people to look up to. I'm no saint, but I can sincerly say (judge me if you want) that I am a good person. I fear dissappointing God, my parents, my friends and loved ones and even myself. It's sad when I know personally I'm doing good and yet because of something aesthetically, I am judged or snared at, without someone asking if I okay, or if I needed help...they just immediatly jump on me and say they're disappointed. Seems kinda weird because if they really cared, wouldn't they want to offer a hand seeing that they assumed I'm going down a wrong path? I think that's a great point.
If my future son was to get a tattoo...would i yell at him an tell him were getting it removed first or would i, truly loving him would ask him if he's okay? if there's some problem going on in his life? I would hope that I would be the second guy. Those that judge me like the first seem to be the ones that claim to be the closest to God.

I was at church today sitting next to Bear (yes, I am very active in my faith). I kept my fake earings on...it was amazing to see how everybody was just happy to see me there and ask how I was (due in part because I nomrally attend other church meetings in various parts of the world...not the one my house is located near to) as opposed to saying something about two lil fake cubic zarconias by my lobes. it was awesome in fact. I was reading my scripture while we were taking the sacrament(other denominations call it communion) and I was reading in the New testament, Luke 22 to be precise. I normally read the second page of that chapter because of the two biggest messages it teaches. Especially the one about the great sacrifice Jesus was making for us...choosing "God's will and not His own"...not wanting to suffer.

The other story is what intrigued me today. The story/lesson that Jesus said to Peter and the rest of the disciples...he who is the greatest, shall serve unto everyone else. Those with great power come great responsability. I am aware of that. Unfortuanley I am not even close to being perfect...I don't even feel good at times to say I am a man of God. I know i can be doing more. I know I can look better. I know I can reflect what's inside of me more on to the outside. But one breakthrough personally that I have had is the fact that atleast I can honestly say now...in this moment, maybe not in the past but not yes, I am more beautiful in the inside than what is refected on the out. (hense the current profile pic entitled don't judge me). if you notice there were a few negative remarks..."im dissappointed"...well Im sorry. I truly am. I am not the kind of person to usully say that. But i will try harder everyone and make me reflect how i feel inside more on the out. Although I could be covered up in tattoos with steel gages in me with even different colors in my long spiked hair...I might just be the better man than someone who dresses like a humble preacher but is a hypocrit: quick to judge but not cast the junk from his eye first, nor wanting to help just critisize.

There was one email i got today about a concerned father. He wrote me and asked me if i could clear up my actions that seemed to be so "not the benji I voted for".
He wrote the letter very concerned for both me, his family and the faith we both share. He was nice and didnt pass any judgment, and even told me he had no right to do so. He just asked me if i could clarify. I did to the best of my abilities...expressing how really all people are seeing are aesthetics...nothin real and eternal from me...it's sad so many are so pretentious and materialistic. I show 5 inches above my knee wearing american flag swim trunks, and yet the olympic diver can prance around a lot less and nothing is said. I can be scolded for sporting earings in my pics, yet the people who said that had vulgar music playing on their myspace. I can gyrate to fast music and people think Im being gross...yet I haven't seen a rated "R" movie since i was 17 because I made a promise to God i wouldn't, because i wanted to be better.

I know live in a world where I am viewed as an outsider. I live in a world where I see a constant rated "R" movie being played...yet I can honestly say that I have still kept my faith, my dedication to prayer, my scipture study however small it may be, my desire to serve myfellow man now thru d.e.m.a.n.d., my desire to one day have a family by saving my earnings, living thriftly, investing in real estate. I still love my family...I have given up many jobs to be there in the audience every monday and thursday rooting for my sister. It gives me great satisfaction that i am there just as seh was with me. My parents i rarely see as well so its awesome to go out and eat twice a week with them...something that I would never get to do normally. I still develope my talents...someone said I look fried out and drugged up, maybe even drunk on sytycd when I choreographed for the west coast swing...maybe it was because I hadn't slept in three days and was jetlagged from doing shows with heidi in china? or that I train myself as well before i start teaching, I also assist tyce diorio along with donyelle in contemporary at times, plus teach group classes, plus choreography studio numbers, plus audtition, plus attend church no matter where Im at even if it meant gving up a 6,000 dollar paying show.
I have never tasted alcohol. Nor have i smoked, or tried any illegal drugs...and I never will Heaven forbid. I don't desire to. I like the fact that I'm as healthy as i can possibly be. There's a great satisfaction in knowing I'm trying to take care of my temple....I may not beperfect at that yet but Im still getting used to the new life I have been given since winning the show. I could easily take this myspace off. I could save myself from the embarrassing judgements and scolds, but i dont.
Ill probably keep taking them.
I am human
My name is benji.
I am sorry if I am not what you think i am.
The only difference between me one year ago and me now is the fact that I pray will full intention now...not to win a competition, but to survive this life...be in the world but not of it. Instead of training for a number I'm performing in hopes to win a prize, Im training to be the most knowledgable i can in Mulitple fields of dance and art. I take that seriously. Also I work a lot on perfecting others and helping them reach their dreams. Instead of living in an apartment provided by fox in a plush part of cali...I moved back into my old apartment, choosing to save my money, rather than pretend that i will be famous for the rest of my life and save so I can live like it later when the attention more than likely will fade away.
I read philosophy mags and photography one now to understand my head and emotions of others to be a better friend, boyfriend, teacher, artist, visionary instead of playing video games to ease the stress off of fierce competition.(althought they are fun to play at times still to this day).

That's just a little insight to me.
Im not saying im perfect but Im trying to be better...there is a list of many things i need to change. UNFORTUNATLEY my hair color and or earings and or a tattoo or weird clothes of sad looks or glasses or time online to comment someone back AREN'T
the most needful changed I know i need to make in mylife. If you have a car with a few dents in it...but the transmission is blown....would you rush to get it a paint job first?

Let that be food for thought...speaking of which I am really hungry right now...its 2:40 am and Im tired...
if you finished reading this then...WOW to you. I hope I didn't offend anyone for what I said, or for any of my actions. I don't apologize for my faith in od and will not deny Him...if you have a problem with that then you probably would've stopped reading this by now anyways. Know that I'm a work in progress and try and see me as I try and see others, though i dont do it nearly as much....to see me as my Creator sees me. Love one another. Help ourselves out. God Bless You All...

all my love,
Benjiman Daniel Schwimmer
born jan 18 1984
parents:
Laurie Ann Schwimmer (now Kauffman)
Harry "Buddy" Daniel Schwimmer
I was sunnyside up right before I took my first breath.
My mom and dad had to dance me around inside of her with their hands, twisting me in all ways to get me to come out proporly...
I had an E.T. head and a weird smirk in my baby picture. they said I looked like a little man...hense they named me BenjiMAN not Benjamin.
I was born in Newport Beach ca.
Raised there till I was 5.
Around that time my childhood enemy 14 years later turned out to be my best friend was born June 28th 1988...her name is Lacey Mae Schwimmer. She's the person I think I love more than anyone on this earth. Tears come out of my eyes thinking about all we've been thru together and the amazing experiences we've shared and how much love is possible to give and feel from another HUMAN being.
I started dancing swing a little here a little there at age 3 with another special someone by the name of Heidi. We have danced together for over 20 years now. We have accomplished more as a dance couple than most...ever. Which is in large part due to my beautiful parents, Laurie and Buddy. They have always been there for me. IN my lowest and highest times. They never styfled my creativity. they reared me to be a man of God.
I was made fun of at school horribly. Some stories i never even told my parents about of how vile and mean people were to me at school from ages 10-15 because I am not affriad to be unique. The're hatred towards me inspired me to reach my goals.
By 16 i finished all my high schooling to pursure dancing fulltime.
By 17 i won my first Adult pro US Title in West Coast Swing (www.benjiandheidi.com)
From ages 17 to 23 (excluding a 24 month semi retirement) I wouldn't lose a single competition in all major divisions, including one that was in search for america's favorite dancer.
I served an honrable mission for my church in 2003-2005 in oaxaca mexico. many dancers helped me raise enough money so i wouldn't have to bum much off my folks.
After returning from the best two years of my life, I decided to return the favor and start a charity in which I became indebt from buying the appropriate right to, and called it D.E.M.A.N.D. (www.benjischwimmer.org/demand)
A year later I won a new car, a contract i never took (see older blogs) and 100,000 dollars cash(of which a tenth was tithed and Uncle Sam took a hefty amount as well).
10 days later I co headlined a tour with 9 of some of the coolest people and extremely talented individuals who i have grown to love very much on a tour which as to date has been the fastest selling tour in us history in the second half of this decade.
I know choreograph for tv, movie, and groups/couples in both swing, jazz, contemporary, swazz jazz funk, etc. I act, I shoot photography professionally on the side, perform in all parts of the world, teach everywhere, continue my charity services now expanding globally. I sell my own line of instructional dance dvds. I have one of the most popular blogs on myspace...
and here i am...
sitting down in a dark room
writing all of you
chill
feeling expecially after writing the outline to my life realizing that whether I am accepted by anyone or not...I feel so blessed. I love my God and my Savior. I love my family, and I actually love my enemies...I have learned a lot of lessons from them. I need the fire against me so that i can make my ruff edges like unto a sword.
I am not hungry anymore...quite possibly that was going to be an emotional eating binge(one that seldom happens since I forget to eat all the time), that has now been satisfied. Thanks to you all. Remember I'm human..Im trying...Im getting better. I am growing in a positive direction.

Feet don't fail me now!!!

THAT'S JESUS! REWIND!" (yes. I said rewind...even though we were on the computer 0.0) [I guess because he was on HM] so here's the pic. XD What are the odds of that? :]

Kill me now, people!!!!!!!!!! Gha, as Ally knows, I am seeeeeeeeeriously freaking out right now... Like, uh, shaking.. A lot.

Here's the comment I sent to Sara's page, figuring she'd never read it...

"Jul 17 2007 11:42P

Evidently, I spend a great deal of my time making blends and montages... But, though I doubt you have the time to watch it, I thought I might as well give you the one I made of you and Jesús.

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v812845tMfqF297

Sorry, it's a little fuzzy, and it will be choppy unless you pause it to let it load first. Unfortunatly, that's the highest quality I could upload without causing the sound to get out of sync.

Also, I read a bulletin Dominic posted that suggested that you are discouraged from replying to any messages you receive, but I was merely wondering if you had had a chance to pass on my email (The one concerning the possibility of a charity) to Jesús?

Keep doing what you're doing out there."

And here's the EMAIL SHE SENT ME! SARA VONGILLERN SENT ME AN EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Thank you so much for your support! Greatly appreciate all the time you put into that montage too...very heartbreaking for me to watch it still...Jesus was an amazing partner and will be greatly missed!

Keep watching and supporting please...it means so much to me!

THANK YOU!!!

SARA"

My life is complete... Seriously, guys, I could die right now and not even care... Well, I'd be dead, so duh... But still.

Aaaaaaah, I feel like I'm on crack right now...

I finally got a relatively HQ version of my Jes'Vontage to upload, and I'd love a few reviews :)

Kamcey Banner For Silas :)

2007-07-17T19:52:00.001-07:00

Alright, so I finally made it, but I was feeling awefully uninspired, so I just reused the same format I used for the Sara and Anya banner I made for Ally. I'll be happy to make you another one, if you want, but I'll need to do some screencapping first, because (Outside of a few other caps I have of their first Contemporary dance and some of her MySpace pics that have been put in banners time and time again), these are pretty much the only ones I have.

And, alas, I thought this little cap of the right side of my Facebook homepage might amuse you (Look at the New Notifications):

Moosey's Jes'Vontage

2007-07-16T02:29:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I know I'm shamelessly promoting my new ship on here, but it's not as though there's anything Benjelle-related to squee over at the moment. At least I know neither Ora nor Ally will kill me for this.

And thus, enjoy a little thing I like to call a "Jes'Vontage," and, purdy please, leave a comment! This one was infinitely more difficult for me than a Benjelletage, simply because I had far fewer clips to work with *tear*. Gha, sorry it's so damn fuzzy *curses* I'm working on cnfiguring it as a higher quality file. I saved it as DV, which was really, amazingly nice... But too big to upload online... So I'll have to get back to you on that. >.<

OR

Also, um, squee! First both Dominic and Sabra put my Dombra blend on their MySpaces, and now Sara (Who requires that all comments be approved) accepted my spamming comment! It doesn't look quite like her page (There's no background), and it's cut off and such, but I'm just happy I figured out how to save this.

Muchos lovers!

Moosey and Ally's Reason Why Jes'Von Is Shippier Than Sasha

2007-07-14T00:45:00.000-07:00

Okay, so a lot of people (Including a few of our own Jes'Von Junkies, who shall remain unnamed), have been talking about how shippy Sasha is... Well, this is really quite heartbreaking, so Ally and I compiled a list of reasons why Jes'Von shippage whoops Sasha's adorable (In a purely friendly way) butt...

Sasha:
- The pre-video to the WCS is purely friendly and fooling around.
- When she falls, he falls with her, and a little on top of her.
- When they hug, they only do it at times that make sense, and they're usually friendly side hugs.
- When they stand before the judges, he has his hand on her upper back.
- The thing with the four bands was clearly planned (They did it at the same time), and so that's not all too shippy.
- So she sat on his lap... So what?
- When they're smiling all big they're either having a ton of fun fooling around in practice or just got good reviews.
- They didn't even hug when declared safe, just smiles, and walked off
- They walked to the judges in a friendly sort of way

Jes'Von:
• General
- They hug frequently and randomly
- There hugs are usually facing each other and tight
- He kisses her cheek all the time
- They both sing (Um, squee)

• Vagabond Cabaret
- Adorable glance and laughter as they walk in to meet with Wade
- Sexy, sexy hunchbacks
- Their first hug during judges, they, like, jump up and down, shaking against each other
- After Dan says they weren't as together as they could have been, they glance at each other as Sara smirks
- Random hug during Dan's critique
- Their arms are touching through the entire judging
- Random hug after Mary's critique
- She keeps her arm around him
- When Nigel comments that Sara's a B-Girl, Jesús goes, "Yeah!" and smiles at her adorably

• Paso Doble
- They held hands (Fingers locked) on the stairs after drawing their dance
- Even when she dropped herself unexpectedly, he caught her
- Oh the loving looks in that scene on the stairs *dies*
- When she falls down, he immediately reaches to help her up.
- Even when they're stumbling all over the place, he doesn't let her fall.
- When walking to the judges, they got all sexy, and, even as she laughed, he was still looking at her quite lustfully
- They turn to face each other and hug tightly, closing their eyes.
- During judging, he pulls her in from the side and smushes their faces together
- Several more random, tight hugs, often with eyes closed
- Her hand is quite close to his ass as she has her arm around him
- Even after being unjustly bashed, she looks truly happy at his good reviews
- When Nigel says she's beautiful (He is one creepy ol' man... That whole thing about 'How to handle a woman'... o_O), Jesús has on quite the geeky smile

• Krump
- When she draws it from the hat, his hand is first resting on her hip, and then he brings it up to brush her arm
- When Lil'C lifts up his shirt and runs around the room, Sara turns to smile at Jesús before beginning to lift up her shirt as the shot changes
- Another random hug at the end of the video
- Walking up to the judges, they both immediately copy what the other did
- She holds his shoulder, and shakes it encouragingly every time he gets complimented
- When Mary makes the comment about her "Little Ballroom Dress," he smiles reaaaaly big
- When he says he was mad at the grapes, she laughs and covers her face
- He immediately pulls her against him, semi facing each other, to give the number

• Week Three Elimination
- He paused and got far more choked up before saying "My Partner."
- All the shots of them crying.
- She was the first on stage, walking toward him with open arms.
- As she cried in his arms, in a reaaaaaally tight hug, he whispered in her ear, and kissed her cheek/neck.

• Results Shows
- They intertwine their hands
- They have über tight hugs
- Huuuuuge smiles (When declared safe)

• What We've Learned Since Then
- We saw them hug three times from the results show. The one shown during the credits, the one where she says "Thank you so much" (Neck kissage!), and the one with Hok standing there backstage.
- She said his elimination was "Heartbreaking"
- They were blowing kisses to each other during the taping.
- He gave a standing ovation for WCS.
- He made Pasha promise to take good care of her.

And that is why we love them so!

Sara and Anya For Ally

2007-07-13T22:32:00.001-07:00

Haha, okay, so all three are crap, but I couldn't decide which was least crappy...

Love ya, Aardykins :-P

~ Moosey ~

Hey Look, Moosey's Posting!

2007-07-13T17:36:00.000-07:00

I'll just make this an odd little assortment of things here...

First of all, I'm gonna cry to you by saying that the new layout on the fanfic site screws with my computer, so I may very well not be able to get on until next week when it's changed again, and that's a little more than mildly heartbreaking...

Now, I have another delivery for Ora, too. Honestly, I don't know whether or not I like this blend, so you guys will have to tell my what you think. It's more annoyingly grainy once saved than how it was when I made it (Damn you, Photoshop!):

Okay, and now I'll actually do some sort of rough review of this week's show...

Kamcey Hustle: Not neccessarily my type of dance, in general, and I spent a great deal of time laughing over her pants... But the tricks and execution were AMAZING. And my experience with the Hustle up until this point, too, has been something more akin to... "DO THE HUSTLE! do do do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do do do, etc."

Shedric Mambo: Was pretty good. I feel bad for Cedric when people are so blantantly mean to him ("When I heard I had Cedric, I brought 3."), but that doesn't mean I think he should have stayed this long.

Danya Contemporary: Not as high up there for me as Tyce's choreography for 'Why', but still great. The song has been stuck in my head like crazy, so I put it on my facebook XD. I think these two are amazing dancers, but they are missing a bit of that 'It Factor," particularly Danny, and I've been saying all along that he has some arrogance to him. I like him, but he needs to show some more personality, and seem less sure that he's gonna whoop ass.

SASHA WEST COAST SWING: *dies* Okay, so what do you get when you mix Benji and Heidi with WCS with Sara (The love of her life, along with Jesús)? You get Moosey with the dancing version of an orgasm, essentially. I'm sorry, but no words can possibly describe how amazing that was from the beginning of their video to the end of the judges' comments. I loved every single friggen' second of it. That said, I'm still 100% Jes'Von Junkin'. I think Sara and Pasha make great partners, and they're adorable friends, but I may very well crucify the next person who tells me they're shippable... Get it? Got it? Good :D!

Dombra Hip Hop: I was totally and completely in love with the umbrella routine (Ivason!!!) last season, so I didn't like this one as much, but it was still incredible. They're adorable!

Homie Waltz: Sadly, not as good as it could have been... They were amazing last week, and I'm just hoping they do better next week.

Laureil Jazz: Honestly, I'm not quite sure how I felt about it... It's a Wade piece, so I automatically loved it in some sense, but it's not gonna stick with me like Ramalama or the Vagabond Cabaret (Jes'Von <3<3<3). I thought Neil did much better than he has in the past, though.

Results:

I pretty much agreed with the Bottom 3. They all did well, but Danya's just less charismatic, and the other two dances weren't as good as the rest. I thought Shauna, of the three girls, should have been the one to stay (Or Jamie, I dunno... I just like Shauna more), but I'm at peace with the decision. And, as nice as Cedric is, I (Along with all my buds on the FanFic board, I'm sure) would have needed to kill myself if another amazing guy went home before he did.

Yep, so that's my post.

Love!

~ Moosey ~

Hey Guys

2007-07-13T13:34:00.000-07:00

Sorry, everyone, I know I've been neglecting to post! I've been spending pretty much all my time over on the fanfic site with my Jes'Von hoes, writing, reading, spamming... I've also been making blends and trying to fix iMovie so I can make the goddamn montage I've been trying to make for two weeks. And spending an aweful lot of time talking nonstop to Ora and Ally, not to mention pulling several all-nighter with the latter... Though, aside from Sunday night, that won't happen again until after the 24th, when she gets back :(. Yeah, so, there's not much point to this post except to say sorry, I'll try to stop by on occassion, and that, if you're a Jes'Von junkie, you should come see me there (I'm in the middle of one chapter story, and I wrote a smutty oneshot).

Peace out!

...I'm only updating because Veevee and Chixstah are scaring me. :D

Moose, I tried to myspace mail you but my computer kept being a dummy. Soo, will you take care of the blog while I ish gone? =D :D :3

Okay, on with the show. :]

Mwhaha, I had to rewind Hok and Jaimie's intro clip like a million times because I couldn't stop laughing at her getting hit with the basketball. XD

"What did Hok say?" HOMIE LOVE! HOMIE!!

=D

"Sorry, babe. Sorry." Kameron and Lacey make a cute couple fershurr. BUT. I am shipping Dombraaa! <3 Nigel was all, "And you just picked her up, and there was nothing too busy going on there. And you just placed her down and caressed her..." umm...that was kinda scary. XD It was like the Panya audition all over again!

Benji: blah blah Dmitry taught me how to be sexy. That hip thing.
Pasha: It didn't work.
Taylor: BWHAHAHAHA

XD

I was all squeeful when Benji and Heidz were the choreographersss. :] I liked Benji's face when he said that you need him as a choreographer. =D

umm...what elseee? OHOH! Neil and Lauren! *faints* That routine was ah-ma-zing.

I wish someone would just shrink Wade and Mia down to a doll size...and capture them...and force them to make awesome routines everyday. *evil laughter*
That story with the whole comic book thing was sooo good! You could see exactly what was going on. I was all 'AHH RUN' when Neil started chasing her with his scary leg movements. BWAH. But she got him in the end, so it's all good. [Yes, I know I'm weird. (:] And I was dying of laughter at Lauren's Misha thing. XD She was so happy over it. bwaah.

hrmm...

Cedric and Shauna's routine was really good. I'm glad that Mary finally liked Cedric...unfortunately...=/ he left. ]:

And Shauna's gone too. WAH. First Jessi...then Alan...and now Cedric. D: ilyAlan!! :D *i'm not a stalker* O_O

Danny and Anya's routine was good too. :] I was like o_o; when Tyce said "This dance is about a man and a woman...not a boy and a girl." :D That's not really anything too o_o; about...but I still o_o; =D

haha, hey. You know what I thought about? What if one of the dancers were....dancing...and then they slid to the side of the stage. And then an audience member grabbed their leg and they couldn't get up. BAHAHA. *wipes tears* oh man. woo. XD

*BAM* There's the update. :]

Special Delivery For Ora

2007-07-06T23:20:00.000-07:00

One sexy sexy dancer with a side of sex... The gift that just keeps on giving.. My God, Jesús, if you have any mercy at all, wear what you wore during the practice for the Paso Doble every. single. day. *attempts to get mind out of gutter* Sorry, nope, can't do it.

Does anybody else have the problem with Photoshop that your blends are never the same color when you save them as when you make them? Gr.

Anywho, I apologize for the blurryness. The blurry outlines are intentional, but any blurryness in the pictures, themselves, isdue to the sad reality that I had to make all the screen caps, and I only have poor quality video to work with. :(. So sorry about that... Also deeply sorry if the blueness annoys you... But trust me, it looks far better than it did without that (As this covers up a great deal of the crappy pictureness...)

Aaaaand, once again, I am making a post directed at a specific person, so, to remedy the situation, I will shamelessly promote my Jes'Von fic, and ask that any fellow shippers pity this little ol' review junkie and drop by to read it...

Hehe...

Love!

With any hopes of Benjelle pretty much trashed here, I'm sure I'm not the only one on the brink of a nervous breakdown... But, the way I see it, I can continue with what I've been doing all morning (Moping around, and eating about half a giant tub of cookie dough all by myself) - and get morbidly obesise, thus nolonger fitting into my computer chair - or we can remember everything that made them so dear to our hearts.

We can remember how each of us scrambled to find any tidbit of information on them, and eventually found our way to Vixen's blog, where many of us met.

We can remember how Taylor and I created this blog on a whim, starting it off with a crazy tale of fishsticks and cannolis, without the thought that anyone would ever read any of this ever crossing our minds.

We can remember the Monday nights we spent stalking every board possible board to be the first Benjelle website to get to the spoilers.

We can remember the days we spent locked in a room by ourselves with our TVs watching the routines over and over again.

We can remember the way that everything else in life seemed to slip away, because nothing was more important than Benjelle.

We can remember the nights spent on Gabbly discussing our obsession, that always turned into just a little bit more.

We can remember when finding something in the Urban Dictionary that said that Tahir was really just a code word for Benji was enough to make us believe.

We can remember analyzing every frame of every video of every touch until we were sure this was love.

We can remember sleeping in on Wednesdays, just so we wouldn't have to wait as long before the show.

We can remember spending hours in front of the computer screen making montages and blends, and never getting tired of looking at them.

We can remember the day we were first introduced to the fanfic site, and a whole new level of shipping.

We can remember the pictures that lways seemed to mysteriously show up all over the web of their shippery tendancies outside of the show.

We can remember how Cat, and Tyce, and Travis were always behind us in our ship.

We can remember slowing down videos and watching their mouths to see if they said "I love you" or something more akin to "I like cheese."

We can remember the heated arguments we got into on foxforums with anyone who dared to bash our ship.

We can remember those times when we were so convinced they were a couple, that noone could tell us differently; when the special woman in Benji's life was obviously Donny, and we believed any rumors that she had broken it off with Tahir.

We can remember the hours we spent picturing them making out in dark closets, or watching shippy montages together on the bus, or having late night talks in eachother's arms.

We can remember when purple meant love, and love meant a bunch of crazy misfits coming together to swoon over the hottest couple out there.

We can remember when Benji signed people's posters with "I Love Donny, Too!" and "CTB!"

We can remember the way she always found her way to that special spot behind his ear.

We can remember how they always seemed to know each other better than they knew themselves, and that, when they looked into each other's eyes... You could see the sparks and what they meant..

We can remember the Vietnamese Fighting Waltz, the kiss we were told about after they were separated, and the way he screemed her name at the reunion.

We can remember that "Donyelle's already in love with him," and "She loves you Benji..."

But, above all else, we can remember The Benji and Donyelle Show... Wednesday nights 8/7 Central, Thursday nights 9/8 Central... Always playing in the Summer of Benjelle, not a time left in the past, but a place that's still alive in the heart of every member of La Familia.

Love to you all,

~ Moosey ~

Okay, so I was moseying (sp?) over to Donyelle's MySpace page to find the pictures that are supposedly up of the proposal (and bracing myself for the next wave of depression), but I found something far more rewarding, instead...

It's a little thing I like to call... Tycelle.. Oooh, the sexiness.....

~ Moose Who's Trying To Pretend She's Not Depressed ~

umm...

2007-07-05T11:06:00.001-07:00

So...Donyelle's engaged to Tahir.

....

wow.

The End of an Era

2007-07-05T09:26:00.000-07:00

Thanks anonymous... It made me cry a little, but at least it came at a time when Benjelle's depressing me, anyway..

So, apparently... Donny and Tahir are engaged..

I don't know how our lovely little reviewer found this out, but, after a year of experience with Benjelle and several months without much shipping possibility... I've grown quite prone to believe the bad news (Which is, hopefully, only in the respect of Benjelledom... We can't really do anything about T, so my only hope is that he treats her right and she's happy with him...)

I'll hopefully stop being quite so heartbroken soon and actually believe my own words.

So much for NPBADATABHAID...

New Jes'Von Set

2007-07-05T01:58:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, I am fairly shamelessly steering this blog in the direction of Jes'Von at the moment... But, what can I say? I love them! Though I tear up at this realization, their news and such may dry up soon, anyway... :'( :'( :'(

Anywho, here's a new set I made! I'm not entirely satisfied, 'cause PhotoShop was being a buttmonkey, and not letting me do what I wanted to, but... Here it is.

Oh come on... You know that 'ayJesúra™' is ever so much sexier (Not to mention Spanish... Which is sexy in and of itself) than 'iJes'Von' could ever be..

(rrrrrggg, I would LOVE to be able to post a picture without having to make it small or have it cut off... *sulks*)

Ora: I'm hopefully gonna get started on your Jesús banner/background/set (Which would you prefer?) tomorrow : D.

I'm also trying to make a montage, but iMovie is being seriously screwed up, so... Who knows...

*sigh*

Love!

Kamcey and Dombra

2007-07-05T01:41:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the links to these, Erica! :*

Here's a Dombra montage by mishelly:

And here's what I assume most people have been referencing when they say that Kamcey's really a couple. I've heard whisperings on several sites... But I also heard that someone who's actually a friend of Lacey's outright denied it on her MySpace. Who knows... Personally, I agree with Bridgey that this is most likely another of Nigel's attempts to manipulate the votes... He wants to recreate Benjelle after they brought in so many viewers last season, so he's making a bunch of unbelievably outlandish comments (*cough*like that Kameron will soon be asking her dad for her hand in marriage*cough*) that he had never made to any of the equally shippery couples, such as Jes'Von (not that I'm biased, or anything... ; D), Dombra, and Passi... Now, I'm not saying that Kamcey isn't real, and they're still my #2 ship this year, but... After being yo-yoed (Yes, that is a verb) all over the place with Benjelle, I'm just a wee bit skeptical before getting my hopes up too high...

Hmm... After writing all that, I actually couldn't find the "article"... Though I did find her post on Jessi, where she asked people to guess who the couple this season is. *scratches head* Well, I have nothing to copy and paste, so here's the link... I wish you better luck. < h t t p : / / w w w . e o n l i n e . c o m / g o s s i p / k r i s t i n / d e t a i l / i n d e x . j s p ? u u i d = c e 9 4 e a 1 6 - 8 3 0 0 - 4 3 c 4 - a 1 d 0 - 9 7 d a 6 2 5 e f 6 a a & s i d = r s s _ k r i s t i n & u t m _ s o u r c e = e o n l i n e & u t m _ m e d i u m = r s s f e e d s & u t m _ c a m p a i g n = r s s _ k r i s t i n >

Petition From Erica

2007-07-04T19:49:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the link : ).

Apparently, the bigwigs at SYTYCD may bring back one contestant at some point (I had my suspisions, since there's a box on the SYTYCD Website asking who of those eliminated you'd like to see again - Though it doesn't have Jesús and Jessi yet). Now, my vote is 100% with Jesús, and so I'm going to look into it to see if there's a petition for him yet, but here's the link to the one asking for you to vote for Jessi. Now, by all means, vote for Jessi if she's the one you'd most like to have back, but if you'd rather have one of the other five (No, I'm not limiting that to Jesús, either, just because he's my choice - I'm not trying to sway the votes or anything), don't sign this simply because it's the only petition out there so far. I'm already looking into the petition for Jesús, and if you want me to try to find one for another contestant, let me know, and I'll do my best.

Here's the link: < h t t p : / / w w w . p e t i t i o n o n l i n e . c o m / 5 7 8 d g d 1 2 / p e t i t i o n . h t m l>

Letter From Jesus (Sadly, Not Directly To Me... We'll Have To Work On That)

2007-07-03T21:43:00.000-07:00

To everyone who has accompanied me on this exciting and emotional ride,

I would like to give you my sincere thanks for all of your votes, support, and for taking time out your busy lives to watch the show. My time on the show was amazing. Every minute that I spent there was a learning experience. Not only for my career, but also as a human being. It would have been great to stay on the show longer, as I had much more to share of who I am, and what I am all about through my dancing.
Although it did not turn out that way, I am thankful to know, through reading the various message boards, that my dancing made an impact. Knowing how you feel, makes me feel that I accomplished what I set out to do, which was to inspire and entertain. That is the most that I could hope for, to put a smile on people’s faces. For all of your wonderful messages, I thank each and every one of you.
To Nigel, Mary and everyone on the show, I would like to thank you for the incredible opportunity that you have given me to share my passion with the world. It was an amazing experience and I am truly grateful.
To the awesome choreographers that I had the opportunity of working with; I learned so much from each of you and I will carry these lessons with me always. You gave me the chance to expand as a performer, and to create unforgettable moments that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I hope that someday I will have the honor of working with you all again.
Again, to my wonderful supporters, I thank you for petitioning for my return, your loyalty means so much. The fact that you take your time to write so many nice things on these message boards, and to create the incredible posters for me and Sara, is amazing, and makes me happy. I would like to let you know that I will continue to work hard and want to continue with what I have started. And that is to pursue my dream as an entertainer, and also being an advocate for children who are less fortunate, and to try to provide opportunities for them, the way they were provided for me. God has a plan for me, and I intend to follow and complete it. With faith, I know that I will accomplish this goal. So, please follow your dreams with strength, faith, and courage.
No dream is too big!! Thanks for your love and support. God Bless!!
Jesus

In further new, my computer is healed! I don't think I ranted much to you guys on here, but my readers on Behind The Wall (Which, by the way, I posted the final chapter to today... *cough*comment*cough*) certainly got the earful. Not only is it fixed, but the brand spanking new external HD I got to fix it has "LACIE" written on the side in huge letters : D. If only it were spelled right..

Also, I have a video request. Having just finished my Benjelle story, I'm heading full on into my Jes'Von (Pretty much everyboy calls them that... Not Jesúra and Jesara. As hard as I fought to hold out, I have finally given into the will of the masses - DOH!) projects. I'm writing a fic, making a few blends, and also working on a montage. The video clips I still need would actually go toward all three of those, so, please, if you have downloadable versions of the following clips (Preferably HQ), send me the link:

- When Jesús kisses the side of Sara's mouth in their vagabond costumes (I don't know for sure, but I assume this is from the Top 20 results show when Cat is doing a recap of their dance)
- Jesús' elimination and goodbye speech *tearage*
- I thought there were more, but I can't think of any, so please just send me those two if you can!

*cue eternal greatfulness*

Love!

I'll Never Get Over This :'(

2007-07-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

Now, you're all going to slaughter me for saying this, but Jesúra is my season three Benjelle. Now, just hold on a minute; I'm not saying they'll ever replace them for me, or make for a better summer than last summer (Especially since we'll never see them together again... I hate you, Nigel)... But they hold quite the special place in my heart. I'm working on a fic and a blend (Though my computer died in the middle of it - GHA), and I even have a montage in mind.

And so I cut this little bit of footage, and have since then been watching it over and over again on a loop, staring blankly at the screen as Sara walks up to him with open arms, and they hug until the camera cuts out. Damn I wish those stupid credits weren't covering it. I think, to make me feel a little better, you should tell me that I'm not merely imagining the fact that he's either kissing her neck or whispering in her ear (Which is sooooo going in my fic, by the way).

My only consolation is the hope that the Jes'Von (That's what most people call it) and Passi fan bases will put their votes together to take Pasha and Sara to the top. I want her to win, damnit.

Crying love...

Jesus Interviews!

Hey, Ora? Has anyone ever told you you're God? :-P

Interview #1:

Exclusive Interview: Jesus Solorio, Top 16 Finalist on So You Think You Can Dance
For the latest So You Think You Can Dance news, subscribe to our RSS feed or email newsletter. Email this Article to a Friend

June 29, 2007

Had you asked a fan of So You Think You Can Dance on Monday who would be eliminated later in the week, the concesus choice likely would've been Cedric Gardner. Very few, if any, people would have guessed Jesus Solorio. Jesus had been a stand out performer over the first three weeks, receiving nary a critique from the judges. That is why, then, it was such a humongous surprise last night when Nigel Lythgoe, without giving much of an explanation, told Jesus he'd be going home. Jesus was nice enough to stop by earlier today and talk about his time on So You Think You Can Dance.

What made you initially want to try out for So You Think You Can Dance, were you a fan of the show beforehand?

Initially, I didn't watch the first season, the second season is what got me inspired, and I just said, “This is my chance to show my dancing, my ability, my blessing”, and I wanted to share it, and I wanted to inspire people and let them know no dream is to big to accomplish, to reach. That’s pretty much why I did it.

From your first audition on through Vegas, what was that experience, that journey like? Were you confident in your chances to make the top 20 that whole time?

Yeah, I thought I...I had a good feeling I would make it to top 20, and so that’s what got me hyped even more, cause I had a feeling, and I’m a hard worker, so I just worked hard the whole time and it paid off, it paid off.

What was your very first reaction when you got partnered with Sarah?

Well actually we, Sarah and I, talked about it before going, once we arrived at the airport we talked about it and said we would be partnering each other. And when we walked through the door, sure enough she was standing there. I was excited, I was excited because I knew what she could do.

Was it ever difficult, especially last week, dancing with her since she never really had done partnering stuff before?

No actually it wasn't, there was a couple moments that I had a hard time, but no, she got on it, and she worked hard, she just became a different person. So, yeah, it was easy after that.

Last night's show was a pretty wild show in general, why do you think you were eliminated last night?

Honestly, I have no idea. I thought I did everything that I could do that the choreographers asked, it just has to do with popularity from America, you know, your favorite dancer, obviously. So I don't know, I honestly don't know.

It has to be frustrating because you and Sarah had been given praise pretty much throughout the entire season. I don't think the judges said one negative thing about you until the moment before you were eliminated, so how frustrating is that?

It's frustrating because not even at the last moment did they say a negative thing, at the last minute they still said something positive, they said, “You didn't miss a step, you did everything right”. And, so that’s what kind of got me, I was like “Really? Why am I going home?”. But, it's all for a reason and it's all fun, it's all fun.

Do you wish you had something different with your solo routine?

Actually, I was very satisfied with my solo routine. I thought about doing something very technical. I think I can do whatever Danny and Neil did, I believe I can do myself, but I was going for something different and that I knew I could do, and I did do it, and I think I accomplished that.

Jesus, what have you got planned for the future for yourself?

Well I’m going to be moving back to LA. And, I’m going to try and work professionally again now that I’ve got my face out there. I’m hoping to get work and just work on my singing and my acting and well, go on from there.

That guy said "uh huh" and "mmhmm" way too much, and Sara's name doesn't have an 'h', but I forgive him.

Interview #2: (From Before Armageddon)

PRHS grad a reality hopeful
Modified: Friday, Jun 29th, 2007
BY: Anne Quinn 6-12-07

Paso Robles residents can join in on a local boy’s rise to stardom by voting for dancer Jesus “Chuy” Solorio on the FOX Network TV show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” on Wednesday night.

Produced by the same team as the hit show “American Idol,” which makes stars out of amateur singers, “So You Think You Can Dance” features dancers skilled in everything from street styles to ballroom that compete for votes from millions of viewers so they can be named America’s best dancer.

Producers of the show, now in its third season, conduct talent searches in major cities such as New York and Los Angeles, to select a pool of contenders. This list is narrowed down during “call back week,” when those that stand out are chosen to work with top choreographers, then asked to return and perform in Las Vegas. That’s when the judges narrow the pick from 50 down to the top 20, which includes 10 men and 10 women, and the network competition begins. Solorio made the cut. Now the pressure is truly on. Each week two contenders will be eliminated, based on how the audience votes.

If Solorio makes it to the top 10 (five men, five women) he will snag a contract to be in the So You Think You Can Dance performance company, with associated pay and benefits. If he wins, he can expect to take home $100,000 like last year’s winner, Benji Schwimmer, did. He also received a contract to appear on Celine Dion’s “A New Day” show at the Coliseum, Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas.

One place the voting for Solorio is sure to be unanimous is at the Oak Park Recreation Program where Solorio grew up.

“He would have never danced had it not been for our program,” said Vicki Jeffcoach. “I am so tickled that he is living his dream.”

The story of Solorio’s pursuit of dance is much more complex, a tale of dedication in the face of adversity, that involves many Paso Roblans.

Solorio’s natural affinity for dance was encouraged at Oak Park, even while he was teased and ridiculed at home. Loving to dance was not considered masculine while Solorio was growing up in the late 1980s to early 1990s, particularly in Hispanic culture.

Leaders of the Oak Park Recreation program quickly spotted Solorio’s talent and did everything to encourage it. They kept him on course when he was tempted to abandon dancing for soccer because it was more socially acceptable.

Tiffany Jeffcoach taught Solorio all she could but his talent was such that he quickly outgrew what she had to offer and needed professional instruction. He wanted to go to Class Act Dance and Performing Arts Studio, the only trouble was he couldn’t afford it.

That’s when Grace Hill, a volunteer with the Oak Park program, stepped in. She paid Solorio’s tuition that first year, so he could have the opportunity. This year Hill was recognized as “Volunteer of the Year” for the city of Paso Robles, because she has done so much to help local young people like Solorio.

Solorio’s talent was obvious to the staff at Class Act Dance and he was given scholarships. Now he is one of their most celebrated alumni.

“I am beyond excited I am ecstatic for him,” said Class Act Dance instructor June Greenwalt. “There was a gift in him that was rare, it was just a matter of bringing it out in the right time and in the right place.”

Solorio was also the honored graduate for the Paso Robles High School visual and performing arts department this year, receiving special recognition during a board study session/awards night at the Culinary Arts Academy on May 15. As a professional dancer, He’s worked with musical artist LIANA, Circo Fantastico and is a performer on Disney’s “Hanna Montana.”

During the presentation on May 15 Solorio thanked the people in the Oak Park Recreation Program, his instructors at Class Act Dance, PRHS staff members and everyone in the community who’s supported his career.

“I’m proud to be a part of this community,” he told the crowd. “This is where I developed my strength, my mentality and my work ethic.”

Gratitude is characteristic of Solorio who Greenwalt described as “humble, kind, lovely, generous human being. He just feels his talent was God given and it’s up to him to share it.”

Just as Solorio’s talent grew beyond what Oak Park Recreation Program could offer him, enthusiasm for him has grown way beyond Paso Robles, infecting fans who have never met him in person.

“Jesus is one charismatic Latino that will make you smile while he’s dancing. His friendly aura will certainly get him a lot of votes,” reads an entry on the www.starmometer.com blog.

“So You Think You Can Dance” is scheduled for Wednesday, June 13 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. on FOX Network.

Squeeeeeee

2007-06-30T11:58:00.000-07:00

Ora, my love! Yay for emailing Benji *swoons*. I remember when he emailed me back after I send him a montage, and he told me it was great and he would watch it with Dony on the bus *dies just thinking about it*.

By the way, I'm über excited that you've joined my cause full on! I was afraid I'd be all by myself... But you, Candice, and I shall hereby knock the socks off of this thing!

I agree about wanting the charity to be more than just the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. It's certainly a worthy cause, but, given the choice, I would have chosen a charity angled more to children than college students, since that is his main focus. Unfortunately, when I created the cause, I discoved that I had to choose a benefactor, and there was a very limited list of those I could select that had anything to do with Jesús' vision, at all. If we can contact him and make a charity in his name, we should be able to set ourselves (meaning that charity) up as the bennefactor and then add that to the cause (though I'll have to make another page, since I already tried changing the bennefactor, and it wouldn't let me). However, I have another thought, too. In my Latin Americn Studies course this last year (best class I've ever taken), we did a unit on the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement/Chicano Civil Rights Movement. During that, we studied the grape industry, and a lot of the struggles they went for to gain fair wages. I don't remember if there was a charity associated with that, but I'll look into it, and it would certainly go along with our cause quite well.

Anywho (Since people are probably wondering why this is all aimed at Ora, I'll wrap it up), let's discuss this more on facebook. I can also try to talk to the people who run Sara's fanspace on facebook (since one of them happens to be her brother) to see if one of them could talk to Sara about it.

Here's Ora's exchange with Benji:

Ora said...
ummm Moose?

can we just say that I just got a reply message from Benji
holy CRAP.

My Message:
Before I begin, HI!!! I was a heavily addicted Benjeller and I love both you and Donyelle and look forward to seeing both of your futures blossom.

Anyway, my name is Ora. I live in Chantilly, Virginia and am 17 years old. Last year, you and Donyelle captivated the hearts of thousands of people and inspired them to dance. This year, I (and several of my friends) were once again touched by the actions of a contestant on the show, Jesús Solorio. After hearing his goal of wanting to inspire people to dance, my friends and I decided that we wanted to live out his goal and "pay it forward". Therefore, we have started to spread dance awareness in the areas we live in by organizing dance showcases, competitions and fundraisers.

Originally, we were going to donate all the money that we earned to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund in California, but I was curious as to what one would have to do in order to start a charity in honor of someone, like you did with D.E.M.A.N.D. In addition, I was wondering if there was any way for me to contact Jesús about the charity (in order to get permission to start something in his name).

I truly hope that you don't feel as if I'm using you to get to Jesús it's just I had no one else to turn to seeing as Jesús doesn't have a Myspace, Facebook or any fan accessible way of contacting him. Trust me, if you were to reply to this message I would probably go into a fangirl induced coma.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and send my best to Lacey,
~Ora

P.S. My inner fangirl would feel robbed if I didn't ask you for some type of autographed Benji paraphernalia so if you'd be willing to write your name on anything and send it in the mail it would be throughly appreciated.

His Reply:

hi back. unfortunatley i cant give out any info on jesus at this time. he's a bud of mine but i, being emplyed on the show cannot be in cintact with an cast member from this season outside of show related business. but be patient...im going to get him for a demand benefit at the end of the year.
much blessing to you!
b

Love!

Interview With Jessi and... <3Jesus<3 lol

2007-06-30T09:22:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the link Ora! I hereby bestow upon you... A rubber ducky (I know... Been there, done that... I'll sart thinking of something else. Would you like a Dancing Benjelly Belly, pocketsized for your convenience?)

This interview is from the blog 'Reality Check by Gina':

A Reality Check With ... Jessi Peralta & Jesus (FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance")
This season of FOX's So You Think You Can Dance has proved to have shocking elimination results and last night was no exception as hip hop dancer Jessi Peralta & contemporary dancer Jesus Solorio were sent home. What seemed like an easy ride to the top 10 ended abruptly for the two & they're here to talk to RealityCheckByGina about their experience.

RC: Jessi, first of all, how is your health?
Jessi: I’m feeling as good as can be expected after just being kicked off the show.

RC: I spoke to Faina last week who said you had suffered from dehydration then. Was your illness this week in part because of that?
Jessi: Last week, I did get really dehydrated again & I was admitted to the hospital. It wasn’t on show day so the cameras weren’t following me around. I had the same symptoms this week but the doctors were focusing on my dehydration. There’s not enough time for me to take care of myself. Everyone is on schedules and the show has to run like a machine otherwise, the viewers will be disappointed.

RC: Can you both tell me about your dance background?
Jessi: I started dancing at the age of 2 & have been taking classes ever since. I was on scholarship at Broadway Dance Center in New York. You name it, I’ve tried it. I’ve gone to street battles & tried to hang with the boys. I just love every single form of dancing so anything I could get my hands on, I’ve tried to do.
Jesus: I actually, when I was smaller, I started break dancing, believe it or not. I went into jazz then to lyrical then to training when I was 12.

RC: Was this your first year trying out for So You Think You Can Dance?
Jessi: I actually had never even seen the show & this was my first year. I haven’t been able to afford television. All I knew was that it was about dancers from different backgrounds.
Jesus: This was my second year trying out for the show. The first time I auditioned was unorganized. It felt very unorganized & was harder than this year. I didn’t know the process but this year, because I knew the process, I made it through. It was stressful to a certain degree but not to the point where I wanted to collapse & faint & cry, feeling I wanna go home.

RC: Jesus, you said something last night about getting a phone call saying you had helped kids. Can you elaborate?
Jesus: I got a call from my rec center that I grew up in, a non-profit organization in Oak Park. They said I had inspired all these kids to pursue their dreams & that no dreams are too big for them even if they don’t have money because I was poor & homeless at one point. There’s a lot of that going on in Oak Park. Hearing that was the greatest thing for me.

RC: So there is time to communicate with your family & friends while on the show?
Jesus: Yes, totally there is. It’s not a lot of time & I decide not to talk too much so that I can focus on my dance & rehearsals. I don’t want to stay out of touch & I don’t wanna be an ass. But it’s because that’s how focused I am.
Jessi: Yes & if that were not the case, I would’ve been eliminated sooner. There was a lot of pressure on me & drama. They keep reminding me that I’ll overcome anything.

RC: Jesus, you received great reviews for your krumping dance with Sara. Were you surprised to be in the bottom? What do you think happened?
Jesus: It did come as a surprise because I thought America liked us & the dance. We got good reviews from the judges. That’s what confused me a little but I understand that it’s a show & it’s all good.

RC: Jessi, was it difficult to be cleared by your doctors to dance last night?
Jessi: It was frustrating because I could overcome everything in my mind so my mind is saying, “You’re fine, you can dance”, My body is yelling at me to slow down a little. My mind is saying to the doctors, “I’m fine, please let me go” and the doctors are looking at the monitors saying, “No way”. I kept thinking of Pasha, I didn’t want to leave him to dance alone. I’m glad he was safe. That’s my guy.

RC: Jessi, your elimination in particular was very abrupt. Why do you think Nigel chose to do it that way?
Jessi: I would assume they were going for the shock of it. As a businessperson, he has to make a good television show. As a dancer, we’re in the background a lot so we’re taught to be poised. He was probably trying to pull that out of me. I don’t know, I felt like … that was rough. It was a little harsh. I don’t think he was taking into consideration all the other crap I had gone through that week. Giving me that last blow, I was in round 10 after being knocked down so many times & that was it.

RC: What do you think of the new pair Sara & Pasha?
Jessi: I’m jealous! I really feel like what Pasha & I had was special, it was more than the show, it was more than the performance. You know, girls, let’s be honest. It’s hard not to have a crush on that guy. I felt like our chemistry was more than a performance. That’s why I was so inclined to tell that to the country last night.
Jesus: Well, I was talking over the situation with Sara. I think they’ll be good. Pasha is a strong lead & Sara is a good follower & hard worker. She takes notes to heart & makes it professional. It’s a good mix & they’re both entertaining! I don’t know if he’ll be good as me because nobody can replace me for her but, all jokes aside, I think they’ll do well.

RC: What was the reaction from fellow contestants that you would be leaving?
Jessi: They were sad, they were sad. But it’s a competition, they want the good people out. It makes it easier for them. Not to pat myself on the back, but I feel like they lost a good person last night. I felt like they lost a big player.

RC: Mary Murphy, in particular, was extremely harsh with Cedric. Did you think he & Shauna would be in the bottom 3?
Jessi: Cedric had kind of been their “risk”, they were taking a risk on him letting him in the top 20. He knows exactly who he is & what he’s capable of. He agrees with everyone’s opinion that he needs more training & education. That’s the beautiful thing about America being in control – they love the underdog. I think it’s great!
Jesus: I kinda had a feeling that they wouldn’t because of sympathy votes. Cedric is my friend but the judges were trying so hard to kick him off that it backfired. They need a new strategy: don’t antagonize, find another tactic.

RC: Do you have a favorite dance performed by your fellow contestants so far?
Jessi: I would say … Wade’s piece for Hok & Jaimie. But ... honestly? I love my performances with Pasha. What you see us doing on stage, that’s the real thing. I look at him & I say, “This is the truth!”
Jesus: That would be Sabra & Dominic’s lyrical dance. I helped Dominic with it while trying to learn my own routine & he’s so passionate about what he does. They both are, so it really touched me.

RC: Jessi, how was it to say goodbye to Pasha?
Jessi: That was tough but Pasha is a very centered human being. He said, “I’m sorry, you’ll get through this.” After this, will there be something between us? I hope. But I can’t expect his head to be anywhere else but the show. I think he feels the same way I do.

RC: Jesus, do you have a favorite moment of being on the show?
Jesus: The pasa doble with Sara.

RC: What are your plans for the future?
Jessi: I have been pursuing this professionally since I was 16. The office job, the day job, was something I had to resort to. The pursuit of dance wasn’t taking care of me financially. Hopefully I won’t have to dance at bar mitzvahs again. I would rather dance at a bar mitzvah for $100 than spend another day in the office. I do have some opportunities coming up with some movies. I don’t think this was a bad thing.
Jesus: I’m not going to stay here, I want to do professional work & I have been doing so since I was 17. I did Hannah Montana & the Latin awards. I wasn’t sure if people were looking at me so that’s why I did this show. I’m hoping I did inspire people. I’ve been doing acting as well so I’ll be working on acting & singing.

So You Think You Can Dance airs Wednesdays & Thursdays on FOX

Awww, if only all the honest loving from Jessi were Benji to Donyelle (or vice versa)...

Or Jesús to Sara <3<3<3... Don't worry, they haven't replaced Benjelle for me, but they were my power couple/source of Season 3 shippage... But, comeon people! Let's face it... They're both quirky, incredibly sweet (especially to each other :D... I've totally been stalking them with all their little touches at results shows, and such), and unbeliiiiieeeeeeeeevbly sexy. What more could you want? *sobs*

Kamcey is my other favorite (Though, frankly, I love almost everyone), and they certainly have a lot going on there... There are plenty of signs that point straight toward romanceville... But they're not quite as out there in their interactions as Benjelle, so I'm not quite as drawn to it.

Anywho, love!

Here you go, Erica!

Feel free to let me know if it's not quite what you had imagined, because I literally have no life, and would be happy to tweak/completely redo it for you. However, I only have two other pictures of them that I didn't use, so you may have to point me toward some better ones if the pictures themselves are an issue.

I'm still in the market for some good Jesúra pictures if anyone has any.

Love!

JESURA!

2007-06-29T15:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys, I know I've gone into that same rabid state that I was in last year when Allison was eliminated... But, hey, it's not like we have any Benjelle news, anyway.

So, on the subject of my beloved Jesúra...

Once again, if you have any pictures from their dances, please let me know. I have a few, but they're not great, so I'd like to have some better ones for the blend I'm gonna make.

In the mean time, I did make a blend of just Sara (Click for bigger picture), since she has a fanpage on both facebook and MySpace (Jesús, unfortunately, has neither), and thus had many more accessable pictures. Comments are always appreciated : D

Finally, I made a facebook cause: "WWJD: Why Would Jesús Dance?" Basically, it's in honor of him as an inspiration, and trying to help him out with what he said was his ambition (Giving back to society, Paying It Forward, etc.). I'm asking the people who join to hold some sort of dance bennefit (Whether it be a formal dance showcase, or just you and your friends dancing around your house) as a fundraiser to donate the money to us (Via the button on the Cause page - We never come in contact with the money, in case you're worried it won't really go to charity), which then goes directly to our nonprofit bennefactor (I tried to choose one closest to what Jesús wanted to do, which was to give back to children): Hispanic Scholarship Fund (Currently, only about 9% of the Hispanic population graduates from college). Anywho, please join if you have a facebook... If you don't have a facebook, you should consider getting one, cause it generally kicks MySpace's butt (Though I have a MySpace, too) :-P. Also, there's a lot more information on the actual site.

Anywho, here's the link: < h t t p : / / a p p s . f a c e b o o k . c o m / c a u s e s / v i e w _ c a u s e / 5 8 6 5 ? r e c r u i t e r _ i d = 1 1 8 2 8 1 6 >

Please go take a look : )

Congratulations Jesu[insert accent]s!

2007-06-29T08:47:00.000-07:00

Alright, so after the maybe 3/4 hours of sleep I was just so rudely awaken from (Insomnia sucks), I've reflected, and found a new outlook on the Jesús situation. In fact, I'd like to congratulate him. Based on this season's judging, he should feel honored. I mean, if you're a guy on the show who gets eliminated, that pretty much means you're an amazing dancer, have a great personality, and actually have a chance to win. He should be proud to join the ranks with Ricky and Jimmy of the dancers who were 100% the stupidest choice to eliminate. And so, Jesús, take a bow, my friend. Thank the judges for the support and praise they showed you by allowing you to proudly take your place beside two others of the greats, but feel free to let those idiots know just where they can shove it ;-).

Sorry, was that satire uncalled for?

Jesura Pictures Please (Why is it being stupid and not letting me do the accent???)

2007-06-28T22:23:00.000-07:00

*cries*

*cries alot*

*cries some more*

*attempts to compose herself*

"You know, I may actually need a minute"

*cries again*

*whimper*

Does anyone have any Jesúra (It let me do the accent there... No accents in titles??) pictures?? I can't find any anywhere, and I really want to make a blend... a) Because I'm incredibly depressed over his departure, and b) Because I might as well make the best of the 28 days I have left with Photoshop before the free trial comes to an end and I never see it again.

I'd like pictures from all three dances, if possible... Or even downloadable versions of those dances so I can make my own pictures.

Love!

HOLY SCHNIZNICKEL WHAT THE FUZZELATING GUACAMOLE BEAN??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-06-28T21:01:00.000-07:00

Noooooooooooo! (In sharp contrast to Taylor's sentiments)

I was alright with Jessi leaving, since I wasn't that attatched to her, but her solo was actually the best of the girls' tonight, and she's done some mazing paired work with Pasha. And Cat, I love you, but Holy Jesús (Yeah, you heard me... I'll be getting on to that point in a moment *sobs*), why do you always make them talk when they're about to cry? And, God, the judges could have said more... They basically said, "You all suck. Lauren, we're gonna use you as an example of why you all suck. Bye Jessi." I mean, jeez, they could have spent two seconds giving a reason, or at least said that it was a horrible decision to have to make, so they were going to have to let her go for medical reasons. Anya should have gone, anyway. Danny's usually carrying her a bit, and her solo was the worst. Gha.

And, by the way, I HATE YOU, AMERICA!!! Seriously, just throw Kamcey in the mix while you're at it, and get rid of EVERYONE I love!!!!!!!!! GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I really, really didn't want any of the guys to go home. Jesús' solo was not as good as the others', I'll admit it, but I was most attatched to him of the three. I mean, Jesúra was quite possibly my favorite couple! NOOOOO!!! And, though Neil is amazing, Jesús' dances with Sara have been spectacular; Neil's haven't been as amazing, though they have been good. However, Nigel is sooooooooo a hypocrite here! He's always said that you can't stay in just based on solos, that you have to not let down your partner. I love Neil, but he let Lauren down a little this week. I don't think he should have gone home, by any means... But he should have over Jesús. And I'm sure at least Ora's crying with me, here. And, sorry Taylor, but Cedric should have gone home. It's not that I don't like him, because I do, but he should have gone home last week, and probably the week before. I'm not saying there's no value in these unique dancers, because there certainly is, but that shouldn't mean that you sacrifice some truly amazing dancers to keep them in. And, yes, Dominic has been doing well, but he's still not quite the Godsend they keep making him out to be. I am so pissed at the judges, 'cause, frankly, this is all there fault. They got ride of Ricky and Jimmy, and now they're overhyping Dominic to justify it. And, on the other end, they decided to be STUPID and try to manipulate the voters by being outright mean to Cedric. I think that he should have gone home, but that was absolutely uncalled for, and precisely the reason he didn't go home. They decided to be brutal, so everyone voted for Cedric out of pity and to piss them off. Just, gha, Jesús, I love you!!!!!!!!! And everyone was crying about having him leave, too! The Jessi/Pasha thing was depressing, but Sara is pretty much my girl here, okay? And she and Jesús were one of the dream teams... I love them... And I shall now proceed to find gajillions of pictures of them and make a blend.

Gha, I'm going to cry... Tonight was almost as depressing as when Allison left, and I was sooooooooooo not happy that night.

UGH, AND I HATE FERGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, sorry if I've offended/pissed off anyone, but, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm über riled up right now. And, once again, I'm not trying to say that I wanted Cedric to leave, but, in my opinion, he should have gone, as much as I felt for him over the judges being assholes.

I also apologize for any lnguage that may have offended anyone, though I certainly left out a lot of choice words I wanted to use.

Ugh, and my parents are driving me crazy again, too! I mean, they have an annoying tendancy to downplay the show... i.e. Talking about all those "Teeny-Boppers" voting just for the hot guys (I reaaaaaaaaaaally wanted to mention that some of you guys are in your twenties and thirties... But my parents would steal my precious computer away if they knew that I talk to you); saying that Lacey's okay, but only doing so well because of Benji; talking about all of last year's dancers and downplaying them... Rawr! lol... And, God, the night started out on a high note when they showed Donyelle (It is truly amazing how happy I get just seeing Benji and Donyelle in the audience...)!

Alright, I'm going to go cry now!!!

2007-06-28T19:03:00.000-07:00

YEAHHHHH! CEDRIC IS SAFE! YES YES YES! SQUEE!

=] I'm so happy right now.

That was a really good show...besides Jessi getting kicked off. =/ I think the judges got it wrong...but I didn't want any of the girls to go really. :[

annywayy

Fergie's voice was really low. o_o Ludacris. is. amazing. I love him <3 I think if ever met him I'd have a heart attack. XD Ohoh, and did you all see Fergie's dancers? ugh! When they started spongebobbing I was all dhfsfgjds! I can not spongebob for my life. =[ *tries and falls* WAH.

oooh. Next week's show will be interesting. Para...Sasha! haha. =D

Yay Photoshop!

2007-06-28T12:13:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

Don't worry, I'm not being bitchy any more, lol.

Okay, so after (literally) dozens of prototypes (Mostly because this is my first time ever using photoshop, and I kept making little mess-ups that I couldn't undo)... I have a blend! Now, being the profectionist I am, I'm not 100% satisfied, but I've spend about 8 hours now slaving over every little detail and effect, so, for the sake of my sanity, I stopped myself. Please let me know what you think! (I put up small versions so it wouldn't cut it off, so click to see the big ones - Except with the avatar.)

Personally, I think it's a little amateurish and all over the place... But, I dunno, that might just be that I'm overly critical of myself (Readers of "Behind The Wall": See? After all the scolding comments I've recieved for being so self-depricating, I'm attempting to get better about that :D). I will admit that I think it's infinitely better than the first (and only other) blend I ever made:

I do like this one, but it's just a little too simple... I mean, it's one soling picture, with two others just stuck on top of it... No effects or anything... But I owe the slightly elevated spiffyness of my new blend to Photoshop (I made the Kermit one on AppleWorks - A Word Processor for Mac that's great for writing essays, but not quite so fantastic in terms of photo-editing), *sigh* I only wish I had the money to buy the actual program, since my free trial will run out in 29 days : (.

Also (Since I'm using this to change my set on the fanfic site - Which, right now, is the Kermit banner, and a drawing I did of a crazy Moose on AppleWorks Painting), here's an avatar I cut from one of my prototype banners:

I love this effect, too, but it didn't work out as a whole. I also had the picture of Treidi putting their hands together through the bench in every version but this one, but it ended up sorta blocky, and so I went for one of my second favorite moments from that dance, when she uses her foot to get the sunflower from his hand (It's kind of hard to tell what that's a picture of).

Oh yeah! Haha, and the entire premisce of the blend, by the way, is that it's a moment from the dance that sort of started the entire shipping craze for each couple (Benjelle, Ivason, Treidi, and Kamcey). I wanted to add another Season Three couple, but I couldn't find any pictures of any of my other favorite couples that would fit with the rest of it.

'Shrimp' So I'll stop ranting about it, now (I've had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much Dr. Pepper this morning :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D).

Hehe, pleeeeeeeeeeease comment!

Love!

~ Moosey ~

EDIT: Sorry about the words going down next to the blends. It's annoying, but it won't let me fix it. Gr.

My Parents Just Don't Understand

2007-06-27T21:10:00.000-07:00

Alright, so I was laying down, watching the show with my family, and I don't even remember what her was saying, but my dad said... "I remember that Benji and his partner."

Dead God, I swear I litterally sat bolt upright and screamed, "HIS PARTNER???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And then my mom (Who always walks right into my room whenever the bleep she feels like it) came in and looked at my computer screen, where I was making a blend on Photoshop, and she made this really obnoxious sound (She thinks everything I do is a waste of time) and sighed, then said, "Don't be obsessive!" and stormed out.

Now, I know I sound like a whiny teenager, but the first thing was just plain blasphemous... Even my sister was outraged :-).. And the second was my mom being a crazy drama queen, and trying to piss me off, as always.

lol, Don't worry, I'm not really going ballistic over this... I'm just in general in a pissy mood about life being crappy : D.

I'll write about the actual show when (if) I finish my blend (This is my first time using Photoshop).

Love!

A BENJELLE CONTEMPORARY ROUTINE! :o SQUEE!
This made my day! Seriously, first the TMB bad dance...now this. =]

*insert doofy grin here*

Credit goes to my big cuzzy, Ray, who I love way too much! =] Ohoh, did this routine remind anyone of Quana's Missing You Like Crazy storyline?
...because...with that whole Krystle thing....like, Benji was dancing with Krystle during the marriage...yeah I'll shut up now. I don't make sense. XD

I didn't really get the story. =[ I feel stupid. But my sister and I think that it's about like this girl {Donny} who loves this guy {Benji} but then she meets this girl {That other girl who I like to call Krystle XD} and she falls in love with her. But then she still loves Benji, and so Benji realizes tht Donyelle should be with Krystle and not him. So he lets her go, and Donyelle is with Krystle. Yay! Donny's lesbian. =D

hahaha, well...that's just what I think the story is. XD

shutting up now. :]

2007-06-26T01:43:00.000-07:00

I've been looking around photobucket for some pictures to include in a blend I'm attempting to make ('Attempting,' of course, being the opperative word... I don't even have photoshop! all I have to work with is Appleworks Paint...), and I came across a bunch of pictures of those dancers who will always be closest to my heart. These pictures are from all over the place, so let me know if one of them belongs to you, and I will absoultely give you credit. Enjoy : ).

There were more, but it's kinda 2 a.m., if you see what I'm getting at here... lol. Sorry there's no Benjelle, but, let's face it... There's probably not a single Benjelle pic out there that we haven't seen :-P

Second Round Of Elimination

2007-06-21T21:01:00.000-07:00

First of all, I must point two other highlights from last night (Thanks to my love Candice for one :*): "Danger!" and "I do believe you shaved you toes..."

Now on with the sad :(

Girls:

- Jessi: I must say, I've never enjoyed her solos. However, her two pair performances have been amazing.
- Shauna: Before they were eliminted, my parents saying that she'd be the one to go, and I kept thinking "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." lol, I like her *pout* Besides, she did a REAL solo. She was the best tonight.
- Faina: I'm sad she had to go, but she's always come across kinda snooty to me... Her solo was okay, but I would have chosen her to leave.

Boys:

- Pasha: His solo was also not great... But, once again, his pair performances were.
- Jimmy: SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE HOME! I mean, my heart was literally breaking as he cried. Yes, individuality and unique style are both great... But they have now gotten rid of two of the best male dancers, who actually may have a chance to win...
- Cedric: ...Whereas Dominic and Cedric, while incredible at what they do, have far less of one. While I am still mourning the loss of Ricky, I though Dominic was really good this week... But Faina and Cedric each (In my opinion) had to carry their partner through one of the dances. It is so incredibly hard to choose who to send home this year, since everyone is sooooooo great, and no single performance has been anywhere near horrific (Though some were clearly far better than others). So I end up feeling really harsh for being so critical of people who actually did a pretty good job... But, let's face it, somebody has to go home. I did think his solo was good, though my thoughts immediately go to the Top Six group performance to Hide and Seek... Which I am still in love with... But, anyway...

*EDIT*: What I'm saying about how they have much less of a chance to win isn't just because they're untrained. I mean, I am very quickly falling ever so in love with my girl Sarah. And Ivan was one of my favorites last year... But he didn't have a chance to win, either. Dominic has the potential to get really good, and maybe Cedric will, too... But Ricky and Jimmy have shown so much talent, that they could have easily gone all the way.

Love!

~ M*o_O*seh ~

D:

2007-06-21T19:13:00.000-07:00

:[ whaat?!

Did they seriously just kick Jimmy off the show?

ugh. =[ Pasha should have gone home instead. This irks me.

They should bring back Benjelle so that my emotional wounds may heal.

*tear* Jimmyyyyyyy *tear*

-Taylor:P

PS-Cedric is hot. :drool: hahahah

Highlights From The Show

2007-06-20T21:07:00.000-07:00

Aw jeez, what do I even say? EVERYONE kicked some pretty fiiiiiine ass tonight *sizzle*. I mean, nobody can ever beat last year's cast in my heart, but everyone this year is unbelievably talented, most are pretty damn charismatic, and, let's face it, they're all hot. 'shrimp' So... Some great parts for me (Though, unlike Taylor, I can never remember to take notes, so I've forgotten it all).

1) Mia: "I love birds!"
2) Nigel (While being gangsta): "Like you's the greatest thing since sliced bread..."
3) Benji's heart sticker.
4) Tyce is a sexy, sexy man.
5) Allison working with Tyce and Kacey (I'm sorry, that is just too much amazingness together at once... I might explode.................... KABLOOEY!)
6) Buddy and his electric sign.
7) The four little boys that I saw in the audience. The first booed a judge about Cedric, the second was just plain cute as he waved to the camera, the third had a sign saying he loves Anya, and the fourth looked like he'd rather die than be sitting there watching dance.
8) Mia telling all the booing preteen girls (I think you have to be 14 to get in, but most still looked 12 or younger) to shutup. I mean, I boo along in my head a lot, but tonight, and usually, Mia's advice was entirely constructive. There were a few times last year when she was outright mean, but she hasn't been this season. Besides, half the time I seriously want to rip those girls' heads off for screaming so obnoxiously through all the performances. It's one thing to do that on tour when everyone most likely knows all the dances by heart, but another on the actual show. And even when there's a really amazing move, I don't mind the screaming... Just the constant, deafening drone of it drives me whacko.
9) Tyce is a sexy, sexy man.
10) Sarah is really, really gorgeous! I mean, I've always thought she was adorable, but dang, she's hot :-P!
11) Mia: "Your hands have a dance of their own."
12) When Neil was talking about how he and his twin started dancing because their best friend in preschool did... lol..
13) Cat: "Or as Donyelle would say, "Vietnamese Waltz!" Hehe, I'm so garsh darn loyal... Every time they said "Viennese Waltz" I kept 'correcting' them, so that made me smile. I wish they would have zoomed in on Benji for that, though.
14) Jesús was great in their pre-dance video. I'd say they're one of my favorite couples (And they are), but I could say that about most of the couples... So hard to choose!
15) When the music for the Paso Doble came on... I just started laughing, lol. But as I watched, I actually thought it worked pretty well! It had that Paso beat to it, which I neeeeeever would have noticed.
16) I want that SYTYCD garb!
17) Tyce is a sexy, sexy man.
18) Mia: "Have you had any formal training?" (Sarah shakes her head no) "Well, in that case, you were fabulous."
19) Nigel: "Have you ever danced in heels?!"
20) Mia: "How do you feel?" Dominic: "......Scared.........."
21) Uggggggggh, I distinctly remember that there was some other comment I really wanted to add on, but I DON'T remember what it was... *shrug*

Love!

Haha, I'm only 40 minutes into the show over here, so Taylor's prolly already covered stuff I haven't seen, but that line is killing me! Mia's so funny tonight :-P

And what's with the sticker on Benji's face?

Well, Sabra and Dominic are about to go on, so I'm off for now.

Muchos love!
