From a movie "they should make a word for you....beauty just doesn't do it"...when it comes to dance. I think when it comes to dance you think in colors, maybe, which is miles & miles beyond beautiful, such as the cartoons. My biggest regret in life is I wish I would have started taking class when I was like 5. I'm 31 now I tried out in season 8 & if I would have started early I most def would have made to Vegas but no one remembers me, "white chocolate" but I'll be dancing til I'm 101 + ;)

If she was interested, I'd definitively go lesbian for her.

[shellyandnalin]

Agreed.. hopefully sytycd will have given her that help to get MORE than one emmy. Her voice IS amazing, SHE HERSELF is super sexy- mohawk and all
