Costume Designers! 11-2-09

On the Nov. 2nd show the celebs designed the pros costumes. So in saying that I didn't pay close attention to the actually dancing. I was looking more at the dresses that the guys designed. They did this last year and it's one of my favorite things on dancing. With that here are some things from the show.
Michael did the foxtrot. The dress he designed was a very pretty color. It was a wine color with light pink. He may not be one of my favorite dancers but this may be one of my favorite dress. After when asked about the dress he said it was Barney inspired. He was watching Barney and he picked a purpley color.
Donny did the quickstep. Her dress was a shimmery gold with blue jewels. I liked the color but it had a raggy look to it. the dress had strips to it, I'm not really sure how to explain it. If i see a picture of it I'll post it up here. As for dancing Donny is having posture issues.
Mark danced the samba with Anna. Lacy is sick. Tony danced with him at practice and then Anna. Her dress was Black and Turquoise. Her hair was nice too. I'm not sure if he designed this dress or not since Lacy didn't dance. He had 48 hours to learn a routine ( 2 actually) because he learned one with Lacy and then had to learn one with Anna. The judges didn't like it.
Mya did the foxtrot. I liked the suit but how hard it is to design a suit... I'm sorry. Hey for all I know its a real pain to make one. I've never made one. Cloris Leechman came to practice to help her out.
Aaron danced the jive. He had an NFL trainer help in practice. I like the pink fringe dress he designed. I enjoyed the dance and he got 10s.
Kelly danced the salsa. she had a dress with fringe one... Louie's pants also had fringe on. They were awesome! The question is how mad was he at Kelly for those pants. Considering that the pants came off........... to plain black pants under probably not a lot. Part of her dress came off too. Kelly had some seriously hateful eyes. I liked it.
Joanna did the rumba. Derek had a beach dream/fantasy. It was funny. I liked her dress and she went basic on Derek's outfit. She did a hop and Carrie Ann saw it but didn't penalize her.
Team Dances! Team Pasa and Team Tango competed for a team score. Everyone got to have their own moment to dance but there are no individual scores. the group as a whole gets one score. Team Paso had Mark, Aaron, Mya and Michael. Practice seemed a ball of people talking and throwing out suggestions. Their dresses really looked "bullfighterish". Team Tango was Kelly, Joann, and Donny. Kelly has already had a horrible tango in past shows. Pros came into practice with a routine already to go. All they had to do was teach. I like the black ball gowns. The part where they had the girls "fighting" over Donny was funny.
