Flying Hookers: worth every penny.
Week two! And it's time for our "pimps and prostitutes" week, brought to us by the chic French underground dance world of course. Those Parisians can make anything fashionable. The girls get tarted up and the boys attempt to butch up. It's hard work for the latter group, but fun for us.
It's breakfast at our co-ed aparetments and Hugger is flashing people in the kitchen. Ah, the breakfast of champions. Mean Gay wants to prove he's manly this week and starts by putting on his "Sunday" socks. Because it's Sunday! Dude, a real man wears his Sunday socks on Monday.
Would you like some nuts and berries with that omelette?
Loser Talk says that her antics last week made the group think she's amateur. Actually, I think it's because she told them she was an amateur and did not dance professionally, but whatevs. She tells us though that has majored in dance at UC-Santa Barbara and that's nothing to thumb your nose at. This morning troupe gets a note to be ready to go in their most provactive gear. They're going to the "Underworld!" This confuses Chihuahua and excites Italian. Hugger makes a comment about being the sexiest. In other news, the world continues to go 'round.
The group arrives at the King King club where Nomi and Jerry are waiting for them. And now our dancers get to observe a performance. Nomi informs them that they are going to witness the most provocative cabaret ever....Les Fleurs des Senses!!! And, according to Michael, it starts out cutesy, but then gets steamy. One girl comes out and starts shaking her moneymaker all over the place and Hugger describes it as "shucking and jiving", which highly amuses me. The group loves this bit and gives her a standing O. But now the epic story of the Parisian underworld begins. And it's DRAMA! There's violence! There's sensuality! Several girls stomp an fallen dude. Of course, the cutaways are better than the dance.
Oh!
OH!
Oh my.
Our dancers, ever the scene stealers.
When it ends, the choreographer comes out to take credit for this tale of sex and intrigue. She's a Frenchie alright. Her name Cati Jean, and she will be the guest judge. The other guest judge of the week is Carolina Cerisola, the shucker and jiver. Nomi says Shuck and Jive is a world famous dancer in her own right, because her resume includes Prince and Justin Timberlake music videos. I always thought world fame meant when the whole world knows who you are, but I don't mess with Nomi. She might make my head explode with her hand wave.
So this week they are going to be performing in an "Apache" (a-posh) and they are going to be recreating it. It's a sexy and daring challenge! And...no one knows what an apache is. So, not really a whole lotta fame going around here whatsoever. Cati explains that it's a very dramatic dance between a pimp and prostitute. There's a whole dance named after that special relationship? About time I say!
And I hate to say anything because I love 'er so much, but does anyone else think Nomi has crazy eyes?
Crazy Eyes Killa?
This time they only have one hour to learn the choreography and then they'll be divided into a winning and elimination group based on the audition they do for Cati and Shuck and Jive. There are more guys than girls, so the girls switch out.
Dancing an apache requires lots of partnering, which is a tough job. You got to have trust for those drop-lifts, says Michael. Who you tellin? I've seen Dirty Dancing AND The Cutting Edge.
Choking your partner not necessary, just a bonus.
Cody goes on about how much he LOVES the dynamic between a man and woman. Pause. "Onstage". Why the pause, Codes? Either way, this is totally the type of thing he lives to do. Hugger, like Mean Gay, also knows his masculinity is a problem. He's afraid he's going to be upstaged by his partner in the manliness department. Mean Gay tells us he DOES NOT partner. He can't risk anyone looking more masculine than him, either. Hugger thinks Chihuahua's the sexiest girl, which makes sense because she's the one that makes manly faces. For the performance, they play the dumbest music ever and it's distracting. Cati scrutinizes them carefully.is looking for dancers that can create emotion and a story. Pony tricks mean nothing to her. Americans are so showy! Frenchie wants depth!

Loved the recap! Yes, Oscar has to be a homo! Sorry to shatter your dreams but he still gets points for trying to raise money for his sick mama. Right? Shucking and jiving. HA! SO FUNNY!!!!! Oh, also, huggers disguting display in the kitchen should have gotten his ass tossed out onto the streets of downtown LA on its own. Why did they wait for the apache dance. DISGUSTING! But then again I wouldn't have gotten to hear the shucking and jiving comment. I still can't get over it. What did he think he was watching? The Chocolate Dandies? Ha! Thanks for the time you take to write this. Can't wait for tonights recap!
