No, the question should be Marry Me and then dance with me forever..............!!

On tonight's show, Claudia was wearing a black round-neck sweater over a fuschia top peeking out at the wrists, collar and waist, with very long sleeves. She was also wearing tailored charcoal capri pants and black pointed stillettos. Hair and make-up as usual. As is the norm: smart, casual not spectacular.

Zoe had similar make-up to Claudia actually, a grey eye and 'flesh-cloloured lipstick' as gkmacca would say - hehehe it looks like it's catching! She was wearig a peach/gold slouch top which was very flattering and pretty on her complexion especially with the make up.

But Patsy Palmer was (yet again) the stand-out for me this evening. She wore a long-sleeved knee-length dress with a sharp collarless deep V-neck; pattern was green-grey with large black pointed flower motif and she matched it with beautiful black art-deco chandelier earrings. Her make-up was again a slightly strong eye and pale lipstick. I do have to say that everytime I see Patsy's hair (it makes me want to get mine cut again even though I have been painstakingly growing it out), it could look old but instead she just looks so chic. And I feel ashamed to say that I didn't expect her to be have such classy and individualistic style.

A nod to Len and Anton (the gents) looking as impeccably groomed and turned out as ever.

Sadly, Claudia didn't ask viewer's questions today, or at least she didn't acknowledge them as viewers questions.

Anyway that's the round-up for today.

Excellent report Happy. You should get paid for these bulletins.

Why thank you! I wish I was - a gal can dream

its ian fashion watch for me tonight! loved his shirt - very smart
i agree with you happy feet about patsy's hair - would love mine like that again, but too scared to cut it again after taking so long to grow it
she is so understated - she always looks good regardless of what she wears( i think anyway)

But Anton wasn't wearing a tie!!!!!!

Hehehe I know that but he's still very well-groomed by today's standards (see matching baby blue handkerchief in top pocket) and compare with Brendan and Ian who dressed more contemporary - as befits their 'young studs' type image I guess, and I think it was the right move for a tea-time/early evening show like ITT...

... and we want Anton to think that 'no-tie' is still groomed
... perhaps next time he might unbutton shirt by one more button...

So each time we see him he has one less button????

You never know - I shall keep an eye on it with future appearances... as I'm sure every other female with a pulse will

It can be a special feature: "Anton-button watch".

Ok. I'll be watching!

(Maybe we should mention it in Anton's thread?)

By all means You'll have to warn people that it's mostly about Claudia's fashion though - don't want disappoint !

He WAS wearing a tie - but it was a flesh-coloured tie. He was wearing it as an homage to Claudia's lippy!

Hahahahahaha - heeeeeeeheeeeeheeeee - *wipes tears from eyes*

I don't actually know why that tickled me so much

Love your daily ITT fashion, hair and make-up reports HappyFeet.

I actually read your report before I watched it yesterday as I had to record it, so I was looking out for all the things you had mentioned!

Wasn't keen on Claudia's outfit yesterday. The capri pants and shoes were great, but that awful baggy jumper did nothing for her and ruined the whole "look" imo. She looked lovely on Monday in that gorgeous dress though.

Patsy looked lovely too, but I'm not keen on that pale lipstick they all seem to go for including her.

Zoe's hair looked like she had just got up. Could she not find her comb?! Shame, as she looks lovely on the Saturday night shows.

TONIGHT ON ITT (from the BBC Website):

"Claudia chats to Darren Gough on tonight's show.

Tonight the Yorkshire Valentino, Darren Gough, and his partner, Lilia Kopylova will be chatting to Claudia about their Paso Doble and Darren's delight at becoming the next caped crusader.

As well as this, Bill and Karen talk exclusively about their Tango tussles with the judges, and their promise to pounce back with a passionate Paso.

And that's not all: Saturday night darling of dance, Tess Daly, will be in for a girly chat about dresses, backstage gossip and Brucie. Don't miss it!"

Ooh we can dissect Claudia AND Tess today, and they're even going to talk about dresses, sounds like a promising show...

(PS thanks to everyone who seems to like the daily reports it's nice to feel appreciated!)

The campaign gains momentum!

Tonight Claudia was wearing a long-sleeved, knee-length slinky wrap dress with a black and ecru zig-zag-type animal print. I'm sure the boys on our forum appreciated it and unless she has an AMAZING decollete, she must have been wearing a magical brassiere She was wearing the green charm necklace again and her shoes today were black round-toes with an ankle strap (a dance-shoe vibe) and a very high stilletto heel. Hair and make-up as usual. Basically, Claudia's usual uniform - was nice, not blown away, not disappointed.

Special mentions for Tess and Lillia:

Tess was wearing her hair straight and quite glossy with a pink eye and nude gloss - was looking very 'fresh' with a coral silk top and dove grey skirt (very pretty over the knee wide pleats) with white sandals and an interesting multistrand silver necklace with pendant.

Lillia also showing off her colour and shape with a V-necked sateeny top in a wonderful shade of jade. She was wearing skinny black trousers tucked in a black stiletto boot. Her make up was a grey eye with nude gloss.

I have noticed actually that the female professionals on the whole do favour black/denim/ and in particulalar high-heeled boots with trousers tucked in - however, I guess this look is pretty ubiquitous amongst most younger women at this time of year

Have to say I didn't really see anything today that made me think 'wow' I want that I'm looking forward to Craig Revel-Horwood's outfit tomorrow though; dya think we might see the cowboy shirt with cut off sleeves again??

Yes, there were a lot of 'chesticles' on show today; for the benefit of Darren or Bill?

'Chick-Chick-Chicken, make an AMAZING decollete for me...'

Well done, Happy. Detailed and very generous! (Claud should sell her heels to a fire station - to use as poles - and pass on the proceeds to you for your efforts! )

Not with me as I have that lipstick and like it.

Oh and loving the cleavage girls..as I have a bit of clevage and when I show it, I get told off!

Last two ITT shows....lots of cleavage on display ....which I shall point out to those who tell me off!

Happyfeet..I love your descriptions.

You should be employed for a fashion mag or TV or something...you are adorable!

Hehehe gkmacca you are merciless dahling I wonder how ickle Claudia is without her heels on hmmm.

It is intriguing to know who Claudia got the bra out for... Lillia was making an effort too. She was certainly very covered up yesterday when Brendan, Ian, Anton and Len were on the show. Maybe as yesterday was for the ladies, they thought they'd make today for the gents.

Nice to see you back Boho *mwah*

I've an exam tomorrow so if it falls through perhaps I should pursue the writing thing

Good luck!!!!

Thankyou - I'll need it! (It's in 2 hours, and I having a break to post - this could be folly :s)

FROM THE BBC WEBSITE:

"Claudia looks forward to Saturday's dance-off.

Tonight she is joined by James Martin and Camilla Dallerup, who will be looking ahead to the weekend and their Paso Doble performance.

Will Thorp and Hanna Haarala will also be in the studio to discuss their training efforts this week, and judge Craig Revel Horwood will be giving us his thoughts on who might (or might not) impress on Saturday night.

And talking of judges, we give you the chance to vote for Strictly's most scathing ever comment!

Hope all went well!
