Ahem....I may have voted on that poll myself Susie

and who knows......Vanessa may turn out to be the ringiest ringer in the history of the show (although seeing her on LDFCR I have my doubts)

BIB could have been written by Pashulty herself

Please not Vanessa with Pasha - it will be impossible to watch!! Pasha will never come back after such an experience......

Someone like Judie Dench (his suggestion on tour) much more appropriate or how about Helen Skelton - she did so well on the Xmas show!

umm... taut I can say... powerful .....althought I expect it is, cant actually comment on it yet.... *shameless hussy*

I just hope he can last till week 7 somehow... although if its Vanessa seems highly unlikely unless he can pull out something like Flav did with Russel... I promise not to get my knickers in a twist until I actually know who is partnering Pasha..

http://www.flickr.com/photos/92849131@N07/9490674238/ Pash was laughing in this pic as we were in dance pose for pic but boat suddenly lurched and he was supporting me via a body lock, have not shown all photo as it looks like I am attached to him lol had to compose myself and have another pic taken

ooo.... I have faith in Pash....Someone who wants to dance with Judi Dench cant be scared away that easily..... nobody can scare him away from SCD ... If he doesn't come back it will be for his own reasons... (Although if he gets to know about my thoughts regarding him he might not come back.... )

I thought Helen was quite wooden actually...

Now which parts were attached missy???

Thanks for sharing the pic Susie ...

ALL

No wonder he looks so happy...

Olly Mars's 'Troublemaker' reminds me of goofy Pasha on tour... Fond memories...
First day of pro rehearsals... Good luck to everyone and a special wish for dearest Pasha!!!!
Still wondering who actually is the 7th pro female...... Guess we will find out soon enough...

At last we have our first pic from strictly 2013 thanks to james Jordan's twitter sorry cannot transfer the picture

The gorgeous one is back... New pic ....Life is all right again... Pashulty is extremely happy...

...and breathe! Pasha is back! So happy!

1st bib thank you so much ladies and James for posting, the Kovalev is back in town

2nd bib Amen to that Pashulty, life is good, Pasha is back, let the good times roll! Strictly is coming back and if Anya is also there too, even better. Very excited indeed!!

Hi Lupin, welcome to the thread, so happy that Pasha is back in town too, you will enjoy it here very much.

Welcome to the Pasha gutter Lupin... ... You are in for a roller coaster ride... ... And lots of drool and mess...

Hello stranger!!! Hope you had an exciting July weekend... and have settled down ok ...

BIB... WORD ...

Thank you for the welcome. I have been a fan of Strictly for years but watching Pasha dance adds another dimension. He is just so lovely!

Thanks everyone for all links last night and today.
Gorgeous pic of Pasha.
Welcome Lupin and agree with your above post!
His dancing adds another dimension indeed.

Thanks Pashulty, it is good to be back, things have settled down nicely and I can get back to my gutter duties. My July weekend was good, although not a good as yours and Callie's in Blackpool with Mr K


I couldn't agree more Lupin, watching Pasha is truly something else, have you ever been to watch him perform with Katya? He is such a lovely person as you say and many of us here who have been lucky enough to meet him are well and truly under his spell.

I would have thought your weekend might be on par with ours...... or maybe better... lol...any further planned??... unfortunately we haven't heard about anything to plan for yet...

BIB....

You will be happy on this friendly and inclusive thread, Lupin, supporting this most artistic dancer and exciting choreographer! Pasha truly moves me in his emotionally expressive creations.

What a gorgeous first pic of the series. Thanks abs, karina and music girl....a great joint effort .....oh and JJ of course and lovely to 'see' Emma and Kelley.....hope all is well with you both

Huge welcome to Lupin.....loving your first ever posts on DS. and totally agree with your sentiments

Are we really near the end of the summer already? .......but Pash is back so all is good....
