[Mrs. P]

Damn. Sorry was cooking and missed the Finns. I'm back now though!

WA, did you find someone to do PBP for Autumn Classic?

 

[WeakAnkles]

I put a note up so I hope someone will.

I'll go over as soon as ON is done and pick up where I can.

I can try to pick up some of the PBP if you want. I'm not as good as Doris, but I can try.

 

[ancientpeas]

I think you are really good at it Mrs. P.

Donna Summer and Kool and the Gang! *grooving in my seat*

 

[ancientpeas]

I LOVE it! Thank you Lilah and Lewis for waking me up with your disco goodness.

 

[Mrs. P]

I really enjoyed that! That was super fun and the choreography was pretty good!

[Ichatdelune]

Disco. Nice. Still traumatized, but nice knee slide. Neon blue costumes, also nice. Someone shoot me.

 

[NoNameFace]

That is a great program, just rightly measured to enjoy and groove to, tastefully done and performed, loved the energy and attitude!

with stuffed animals shaped like veggies and fruit? We will shoot you with those.out of a potato cannon! Soft squishy goodness. Maybe also.. a ball pit!

 

[Mrs. P]

Wow 99.5 --- That's a super high score. But everyone's probably going to earn 15-20 points more than last year, so probably not a surprise.

I am clutching my rabbit plushy, Fluffette, to my heart and I am still in shock and denial. Oh, look, the Belarusian couple has ombre purple costumes. They remind me of S/M.

Oh, I have to see this Ghost program again. :/
