That's a shame it clashes. Maybe if they get a lot of applications they will run another week at a different time?

I noticed the background of Aliona's Twitter pace is now a beautiful montage of Snootyfoximages of Aliona, rendered in black and white with the contrast reduced. It looks really really good.

In contrast to the perfection of images produced by a top Studio, you wouldn't expect a result from a hand-held phone inside a car. At arms length the 'fish-eye' effect will make Aliona look less pretty than if photographed from further away and the lighting could be terrible - but I think this one turned out very nice.

eek, I made that and thanks

would love to do this - shame I dont have a spare £1200

Its a work of art Olive - Aliona should keep it for a long time.
Anyone arriving on the site and looking at it will think - WOW what a beautiful woman!

lol thanks fatskia its really not that great at all but she clearly likes it - Im honoured that she is using it - its on her facebook as well I have just noticed and yes, she is a very beautiful woman

Your montage is special also because it uses some of the best studio photos of Aliona.
I think maybe why I also posted the self-photo that Aliona took with her phone was maybe because studio photos are showbusiness's top-of-the-scale look.

Rachel Stevens doesn't look like this on a day-to-day basis.

Aliona has worked hard for everything she achieves, and she also knows how to get her body looking its best, has great fashion sense and knows what makeup and hairstyles suit her.
She also knows how to be alluring.

Focus is a bit on her looks at the moment and its nice that in her late twenties she is probably looking her best ever, but there is a lot more to her and she is funny, cheerful, fierce, strong and a lot of other things too.
Can draw, act, design costumes and coach etc. so I hope she has had a good break and will have plenty of things to do this year. Being a dancer is a very tough job.

Have we learned anymore what this was about?

Couple of songs that might work for series 11.

Possibly a Halloween Jive for someone with a wildlife background?

Just noticed in this interview that Rav has dyslexia. Something else to take into account on judging how quickly he could learn. He also says he had never danced a step before Strictly.

Nice of them to send flowers. Seems like a well organised event.

Good thing Aliona was wearing some clothes when she took the photo.

Stunning! I'm hoping Aliona's presence at the award is a good sign for her return this year

we are also putting together an online birthday card for Aliona, the same as we did last year and the year before, so if anyone has a birthday message they would like to add - please pm it to me - thank you

Sisters?

huh?

Well - soul sisters?

Aliona says she'sThe Pussycat of the Dancefloor and she's with the most graceful pussycat of Africa.

The cheetah looks very relaxed with her in the first photo, and I think Aliona is used to handling cats. Has two kittens waiting for her when she gets back to London, I think?

lol, sorry - I am not quite awake - or having a blonde moment (no offence to any blondes whatsoever)

she does indeed have 2 kittens - well, she doesnt have them yet but I do believe their arrival is immenent

made this over the weekend but not entirely sure I like it.....

I like it. It has quite a few bits you wouldn't see anymore and it has a smooth flow, which isn't easy to do when the dances were done at so many different tempos. Covers Aliona's whole time on Strictly too. Nice song as well.

The 'sisters' idea was very abstract and after I wrote it I realised no-one is going to get that! I can't edit though for some unknown reason.

thanks

You cant edit posts after a certain amount of time - dont know why but the option to edit disappears after a while

This is a fabulous looking dress - pity there isn't a bigger photo. Its a twitter photo from 2010.

Just found out Aliona's dancing with Mat Cutler again at Blackpool Tower Ballroom does anyone know when it will be on TV I think it's a childrens programme?
