Yes her shoes are sooo gorgeous - but I could only wear them in a job like hers where she only has to get up to move between seats or have masterclasses with Len Goodman.

We should don black balaclavas and catsuits and steal them all - mwahahahahahahaha

I don't think it's likely she has size 3.5 feet, but aren't you lucky with cute petite feet like that? I'm 5-6 which means I could probs use the lion's share of our booty from the "Winkleman Shoe Heist" (TM)

Claudia look great in what she wears and has got a great figure

Figure yeah! What she wears.......debateable. Actually, her figure is a matter of taste and opinion also.

Yeah, looks good from every angle

Sorry guys!! I have been at the hospital till just now and so wasn't able to post earlier.

Now I've had a chance to review my tape:

Claudia was wearing an even more laidback ensemble than yesterday with black straight leg trousers and a form-fitting chocolate pussy bow top with cut away above the decollete and the obligatory black stiletto sandals. Hair and make-up as usual.

Fine for day wear - the cutaway coudl've been tarty if the rest of the outfit hadn't been toned down and in neutral colours. Classic understated outfit - not particularly special though

And lonepiner - without that all-important Y chromosome, I can't add style points for bust revealanceseces though I can see imagine where you're coming from

PS absolute CRACKER of a show- seriously it had everything!

I thought Clauds looked great last night!

Missed it last night So can't slag off her dress sense today, you'll be pleased to know

Haha - any good critique needs a naysayer to balance it all out or we'd all just be sitting here praising her to the hilt

You say it was a cracker of a show, and I bl***y missed it

Mmmhmm- they started with following the two Yorkshire lads and their rivalry (North-James Martin v South-Darren Gough), then looked at the celebs differing ways of celebrating when they get through.

They ended with talking to Ian and Zoe about their training and their week.

And the middle was addressing Brendan's newspaper interview: "Fiona is the worst dance partner I've ever had" where they asked him about it, and Fiona (in rehearsals) and then watched them train and then they had Camilla in the studio and Claudia asked her about working with Brendan and then (and I couldn't believe this) Claudia asked her how she felt about reading that Brendan said he was still in love with her??? It was fab!

I normally defend Claudia and the questions she asks, but even I thought that was a step too far.

oooh indepth interviewing. Mind you kinda put Camilla on the spot a little. Hope she's as indepth with slimey Brendan when he's on. (apologies to Brendan fans, can't stand the guy).

TONIGHT ON ITT...

Claudia looks forward to Saturday's dance-off.

Only 24 hours to go, and Friday's prediction panel are in to give Claudia their exclusive forecasts for the real 'Tangoers' and those who may be hand-Jiving their goodbyes on Saturday night.

Judge Bruno Tonioli, Casualty pulse-racer James Redmond and Strictly's costume associate, Olwen Bourke, give us a sneak preview of the songs and costumes for tomorrow night.

As well as this, Patsy and Anton are in talk about their titillating Tango and we take a peek at their training so far.

Oh, can't have that, polish1. This is what you missed.

Lovely jubbly

Hey - how'd you do that?

Any chance you can post a clip more often as it saves me having to describe the outfit (tho I do like doing it)

Thanks lonepiner.

Nice cleavage. But the tie around the neck thing, nah, too much like me granny. Sorry but it's hideous, she's a young vibrant young woman, but she doesn't dress like it.

I'm a man of diverse parts - and too much time to waste, evidently. [record onto dvd > play on computer > screen-grab image > reduce size of image so it doesn't take all day to upload > upload to internet > copy link address > et voila, Bob's your circumlocutious oncle ...... ]

I think I prefer your elegant descriptions actually. But I'll try to do it when I can.


The tie thing did get in the way a bit ....

Brendan is an amazing dancer I think that she will ask him when he is on next it will be very intresting to hear what he has to say

Another CRACKER of a show tonight

Claudia was wearing a short-sleeved brown square-neck knee lenght dress with embellishment on the shoulders with some shiny metallic aqua skyscraper heels which pick up the green in the necklace. More dressy (I guess because it is a dress ) than the previous two nights.

Patsy was wearing a truly beautiful fawn empire-line dress with spaghetti straps and deserves a special mention

I kinda feel a bit self-conscious about commenting on Claudia's appearance now it seem almost proven without doubt that she pops into these forums - she might even be posting under an alias... ??

Ah well - I suppose no more fashion analysis till Monday's ITT

Sayonara sequin lovers xx

Ach..don't worry about it happy feet..lets carry on oblivious!

I liked tonight outfit..I like the fact that Claudia generally sticks to brown, it suits her complexion and style.

I have the same kind of complexion as her (look nothing like her mind) and maybe I should switch to that.

Patsy did look lovely too.

Yeah it's about picking the right brown that's all. Chocolate does look lovely though - a lot more flattering neutral than black. I think that Claudia has lightened her hair a bit since last year actually but it is a lovely brunette. I have black hair - and that's it - flat black, brown skin - I can't wear chocolate brown quite so easily

Yes anyway - enough of that.

I forgot to say - I am quite excited about the Jive costumes tomorrow night

I thought both Patsy and Claudia looked gorgeous tonight, very understated glam. This is one of the main reasons I love SCD - all the fabulous dresses and glamour. Claudia always dresses appropriately to add a bit of class to the proceedings, I love it.

Way too much brown.

While you're taking her shoes don't forget to kidnap her as well, then give her back after SCD has finished

I know it isn't Claudia's fashion - but a note on the outfits from tonight's live show:

I was particularly impressed with Zoe's, Lillia's, Patsy's and Camilla's.
Of the blokes I lLOVED the male professionals in the Pasa Doble in black trousers and black polonecks - the best outfit of all for a male professional to wear doing latin
