Is anyone else watching Pineapple Dance Studios? It's another brilliant reality TV show, but there is one reason and one reason only that I love it as much as I do. Louie.
He is without doubt utterly amazingly fantastic and if this man does not get his own show, off the back of this, then the world has gone mad. M-A-D. Every time I see him, I want to work at Pineapple Studios. It would have to be work, because I need to spend all day every day with him. Having an out of work friendship would not allow me enough Louie time. I think all the people who work with him love him too. He is so full of energy & wit and the most amazing sarcasm. He is also the most talented dancer. I caught the latest episode last night as I missed it on Sunday. There was an audition for a dance troop (I dance troop, I ask you - how fantastically 80's) and he out danced all the teenagers who were there. It was also brilliant that they played the music from the rehearsal scenes in 'Staying Alive', one of my most favourite films. Ever. Louie back flipped and spun so much so that he 'ruptured his spleen.' His words. What differentiated him from all the younger models was his passion and strength and clear technique. His dancing was artistic and a discipline.
The funniest moment was when he took the camera crew up on the roof. A place he wasn't supposed to be. The next few scenes, where passing police cars and helicopters were looming, were beyond funny.
How lovely to see this man on our television screens. The world is full of such mean and miserable people, that just knowing he exists and will be a work today making others laugh, lifts my spirits.
There is another terribly camp man on this programme, who is also funny, but to laugh at and not with. I don't dislike him, but am amused at how self obsessed he is. He is the lead singer in a group called 'Starman' and spends a lit of time telling us how talented he is. He may well be, but I'd like to decide for myself. Their manager is not the most dynamic of people. I get the impression this is the first time he's done this. He had booked a studio for the to do a photo shoot in and when they arrived said 'It looked bigger on the internet' and wanted to cancel the whole thing. It seemed slightly amateurish. Why didn't he look at the studio first or at least phone and ask for dimensions? I can see him being dropped, not before long.
I cannot wait until the next episode on Sunday, just to have my heart warmed by dear, lovely Louie.
