    Strictly come dancing

    Just 10 mins ago, on Strictly come dancing (the program that became Dancing with the stars in the US) England cricket player Mark Ramprakash was dancing the pasa doble wearing a kilt.

    Looked very good, and though people here might like to hear it.

    If I remember correctly the Paseo is a very sexy dance, probably more so in a kilt.

    Pictures.... links....

    Cheers

    McGurk,

    Sorry to contradict you but Mark Ramprakash was dancing last year! The guy dancing in a kilt tonight (and what a kilt it was!) was Kenny Logan, a rugby player!!

    The kilt, for those who could not see the progamme, was plain black with a wide slash of silver tartan across the top apron, from his left hip down to the bottom right. His black top was sleeveless with a tiny amount of 'sparkle' woven into the fabric. He wore plain black hose with silver flashes and plain black shoes with Cuban heels. We caught a couple of fleeting glimpses of short black underwear with, what looked like, narrow silver bands around the leg openings!

    Actually, he looked pretty stunning - if show-businessy (but it is a show-businessy programme after all). However, I think he would have looked even better in a sleeved top!

    I tried to video it but the new tape I used has a fault and very little was recorded - certainly nothing clear. My VCR machine will not record digital signals!

    I agree with your post. In the states we would call it "Going Vegas" (As in a Las Vegas casino show)

    You'll have to excuse me, I am useless with celebrities, my better half corrected me too, but at that point we where rushing out the door to a Northumberland music evening.

    Anyways, Someone has uploaded it onto youTube, so everyone can enjoy it here

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oow6I20hYgI&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oow6I20hYgI&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    I agree, he looks very good, but the outfit is talored for the dancefloor, with extra sparkle. I do think he looks best in the sleaveless top, he's a brawny fellow and I think it looked best with him showing his arms off.
