Tam, I don’t think there’s a problem. I certainly haven’t cut off access, attention hound that I am. Journalspace is not the most — bless their heart — reliable hosting service, so maybe you’ve just hit it at some bad times. But my mom has been able to read it, I know. I would definitely hear from her if she couldn’t. (Oh, for a double-secret probation blog where I could talk freely…)

@class-factotum:

sorry to e-stalk you, but is your blog no longer public? i haven’t been able to read it for a while, but maybe is journalspace’s page the one with a problem, because i haven’t been able to log into their page either on firefox or internet explorer. again, sorry to e-stalk you *shy*

Sounds like that movie “Confetti,” except the makers of the movie know they are being ridiculous.

I actually saw the add for this while browseing the site of an equally bad show where a member of n’sync and a spice girl come to work and hold auditions a la American Idol.
Anyway, Tabitha and Napoleon who choreograph on So You Think You Can Dance actually teach the couple a hip hop dance which what I think takes an hour.
That story about how the guy came up with the show has to be true. We are obsessed with weddings and dancing.
I am a dancer and have dreamed about some glorious fun first dance but fiance does not dance and I think we are actually going to skip the dancing and just have a cocktail party reception.

Oh what bliss that they stopped sending analog programs and we didn’t bother to get the digital receiver. My world is now a world without wars, murders or wedding shows.

The first episode was only 1/2 hour and featured 2 couples, so it wasn’t too bad-they also talked about how they met etc.
I did think that the couple dancing to Can’t Touch This in gold sparkly hightops was..I don’t even know.

Seriously? How is that a show? I’m all for unconventional first dances but I don’t see how it interests anyone but the people at the wedding.

I like the way you think, blablover5! I can see the first ep now:

Caterer: So, what sort of budget do you have to work with and how many guests are you expecting?

Deranged Entitlement Princess: I need a seventeen-course sit down buffet for three hundred gluten-sensitive, lactose intolerant, Kosher diabetic vegans who need extra protein, and I have thirty-five cents to work with. Oh, and I want to serve Spotted Owl souffle on a bed of cheese-infused pork. And you have to make everyone eat it because I’ve dreamed about this dish since I was in the womb, so there.

Caterer: (takes suicide pill)

Seriously? An hour long show about A FIRST DANCE????

Even Whose Wedding Is It, Anyway couldn’t get more than about six minutes out of the first dance for a couple who needed extra costumes, dance lessons and choreography because they were doing a Saturday Night Fever disco first dance. Really, there isn’t a show in this unless we’re seeing excruciating footage of every lesson along the way…and even then it isn’t interesting.

It seems like if you have a show that’s even vaguely wedding related it’ll get greenlit.

Someone needs to make one about the caterers where they have to appease the women who were too crazy for Bridezillas.
