Dancing With The Stars Pros Light Up Tulsa, Oklahoma And Cheyenne, Wyoming

What a night last night for so many of the pros from Dancing With The Stars! Gleb Savchenko and Sharna Burgess absolutely magnified the crowd in Cheyenne, Wyoming in “Ballroom With A Twist”. I was able to attend the show. Stay tuned as I’ve got lots of photos to share of them and more on how they took my breath away. Dies heartssmiley

Also, Derek Hough, Emma Slater, Mark Ballas, Sasha Farber, and Chelsie Hightower performed at the “America’s Favorite Dancers” show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Because of flight delays in Denver, Colorado from winter storm Nika, they didn’t arrive to Tulsa until yesterday afternoon sometime, but, that didn’t stop any of them from putting on amazing, show stopping show. You can see some fun video coverage of Derek and Chelsie at Pure Derek Hough. Below is Sasha Farber and Emma Slater courtesy of Sasha and his You Tube. Way hot performance as you can see. More coming Up with Gleb and Sharna!! Stay tuned!!

ETA: Helen Orcutt Photgraphy has some breathtaking high quality photos of the “meet and greet” after the show. You can view them at her site. A must see!!

DWTS Who Wore it Better? Part XIII – The Chelsie Appreciation Edition

Well she may not be on the show this season, but “out of sight” is certainly not “out of mind” forĀ us here at PureDWTS! What better time to show Chelsie she’s loved than now? šŸ™‚

I must confess,Ā due to my own pessimistic tendencies, this was originally supposed to be the Anna Apprecation Edition, because I was so certainĀ she wouldn’t be back this season.Ā  But thankfully, she is, and now I have inspiration to create subsequent editions of WWIB featuring all ofĀ the female pros – eventually.Ā šŸ˜‰ Finding costume dittos is hard sometimes, even for someone with a freakishly near-photographic memory like mine…

Battle of the peach jeweled ballgown: Brooke’s Viennese waltz with Derek in season 7 vs. Chelsie’s pro dance with Dmitry to Jewel in season 8

Heidi: I think the look worked on Brooke simply so that the dress didn’t detract from the emotion of the dance, which was a Viennese Waltz to Daughters, by John Mayer. Ā It’s kind of plain on her, otherwise. I prefer it on Chelsie, and I like her softer hairstyle with this dress. Of course, it could just be the lighting. šŸ™‚

Courtney: I noticed several patterns with Chelsie’s costume choicesĀ while compiling this post.Ā  The first is that she has an affinityĀ for doing very lifty, contemporary choreo while wearing shortened ballgowns.Ā  You can’t see in this picture, but this dress has actually been shortened substantially – check it out on the Randall website. May not be of any consequence to you guys, but I do find it kind of interesting how the costume department, when pressed for time & unable to create new costumes, just takes what they have on hand & changes it to work for them – very resourceful.Ā  Anywho! I always thought the dress was very pretty on Brooke, but I’m not sure it’s a color she would pick for herself – seems too demure, and better suited to someone more wholesome and youthful, like Chelsie.Ā And I’m not wild about Brooke’s hair – looks too…plastered down? Idk.

The winner: Chelsie, for better coloring…or maybe lighting.

Battle of the black, fringed, jewel-trimmedĀ Latin dress: Chelsie in the season 11 finale opening dance vs. Anna’s opening credits shoot with Sugar Ray in season 12

Courtney: Another pattern I noticed with Chelsie: she is so freaking hard to get a decent screen cap of!!!!! Seriously – she never stops moving, and her technique is so good that she moves with such a range of motion that she’s seldom in a position where she’s facing the camera, in a neutral position.Ā  I got so many bad screenshots of her moving her body in crazy ways that made it impossible to see her costume well.Ā  She also seems fond of black-fringed costumes – this one is pretty similar to the one she wore for her cha-cha with Romeo, and she wore gloves for both.Ā  In truth – I’m not wild about this version of the black-fringed costume.Ā  Since there’s very little sparkle, it just seems to look a little blah on both ladies for me.Ā  At least with the Romeo version, there was quite a bit of sparkle to give the costume some depth.Ā  I prefer colored versions of this particular style, such as the hot pink & multicolored versions featured in WWIB Part XI.

Heidi: I don’t care for the long black gloves with the short, fringed latin dresses – I don’t get that wardrobe choice at all. Other than that, there isn’t much to say about it really – it’s hard to see but I really prefer the dress on Anna – and again, it could just be the background and the lighting influencing me. I’m so easy. šŸ™‚

The winner: Anna by a hair…with an assist from the background & lighting šŸ™‚

Battle of the sheer, white, feather-trimmed ballgown: Cheryl’s Viennese waltz with Chad in season 10 vs. Chelsie’s dance with Mark in the “America’s Favorite Dancers” show

Heidi: They all have their “tics” don’t they?? šŸ™‚ Mark’s is high water pants and polka dots, Cheryl’s is the sheer ballgown skirt. Ā I much prefer Cheryl’s tic in this case, although I do find it a rather strange choice. As for who wore it better?? Well, I think Chelsie is wearing it like it’s a dress made for CHERYL, if that makes sense. It doesn’t really seem like it belongs on her, and I also prefer Cheryl’s hairstyle, as it is fancy, fancy, fancy…just like the dress.

Courtney: Ahhh yes – another representative of Cheryl’s ongoing infatuation with sheer-skirted ballgowns šŸ™‚ This one is odd for me: I think the bodice is gorgeous, with all of the beading & delicate details, but the skirt…looks totally silly to me. Like they let a class of preschoolers decorate it with a bunch of feathers & pom-poms.Ā  All that’s missing is the uncooked macaroni and you’ve got yourself a craftĀ project! I don’t know…they both look good from the waist up, and bizarre from the waist down.Ā  I’m apathetic.

The winner: Cheryl loves her some sheer skirts…and rocks them well.

Battle of the red, jeweled midriff Latin costume: Chelsie in the pro dance with the Mwano family in season 11 vs. Edyta’s salsa relay with Ashley in season 9

Courtney: Chelsie costuming pattern #3: she will never show her stomach completely.Ā  Seriously…find me an example of her midriff being completely exposed and I will gladly admit I’m wrong.Ā  She’ll wear cut-out dresses, or ones that show a teeny-tiny bit of belly, but then you’ve gotĀ 2-piece costumesĀ like this where they slap a piece of mesh down the front.Ā  This costume definitely had to go through some un-Edytafication before Chelsie would wear it…the mesh, the extra layer of fabric on the skirt to cover the sides, the increased chest coverage.Ā  Normally I would give this one to Edyta, no contest, but the open sides of the skirt look weird to me.Ā  Gotta go with Chelsie this time.

Heidi: Edyta, by a mile. Ā It was originally designed for her and by adding back material it just makes an already unfortunate dress worse. šŸ™‚ Ā When you add the mesh on the front it make the whole dress look heavy, what with the double patterned belts around the hips and under the bra line. Ā I think Edyta is just playing the part here better than Chelsie is – and damn that woman has a body. Ā šŸ™‚

The winner: Edyta, for playing the part.

Battle of the lavender, jewel-trimmed, one-shoulder ballgown: Kym’s Viennese waltz with Donny in season 9 vs. Chelsie’s Viennese waltz with Jake in the season 10 finale

Heidi: I think Chelsie is a bit too short for this dress – maybe if it was straight to the floor instead of layered it would work better for me. Both women look very pretty, but I’m gonna have to go with Kym, I believe.

Courtney: This is another thing I hate about screen-capping – it always makes colors look too warm.Ā  The dress is closer to the color on the left than the color on the right – but it’s a pretty color, regardless.Ā  I think it’sĀ a good example of the “less is more” concept of costuming – very simple silhouette, flattering color, minimal trim.Ā Ā Lovely šŸ™‚ Looks great on both ladies, but I have to give this one to Kym – love her romantic wavy hair.Ā  Looks like Chelsie may have been the victim of the dreaded quick-change, which usually necessitates un-fussy, generically-styled hair to fit multiple costumes.

The winner: She of the Awesome Boobage dominates once again.

Battle of the gold, fringed, halter-top Latin dress: Chelsie in the season 8 intros vs. Ashly in the 150th episode pro dance to “Hard to Handle” in season 6

Heidi: Hmmm….tough call. Both ladies wear this dress well. It compliments both Chelsie’s sunny, California girl look, and Ashly’s darker hair andĀ complexion. Ā This one is a tough call!! Ā I think I’m leaning toward Chelsie, but I have to idea why. šŸ™‚

Courtney: Maybe becauseĀ we have a hard time believing a wholesome Mormon mommy like Ashly would pick out an outfit like this for herself? šŸ˜‰ I dunno, at least that’s what I think – both ladies are on the wholesome side, but Chelsie is able to pull off sexier, flashier outfits a bit better, IMO.Ā  The impression I get from Ashly in this dress is that “I had to wear a gold dress to match the other dancers, so I bit the bullet and picked out the most conservative one I could.” Plus I love the way a gold outfit looks paired with blonde hair šŸ™‚

The winner: Chelsie, for looking more comfortable being sexy.

Battle of the pale blue, jeweled high-neck ballgown: Nicole’s waltz with Derek in season 10 vs. Chelsie’s pro dance with Dmitry to Goo Goo Dolls in season 11

Courtney: I had completely forgotten about this one – and now that I’m looking at it, I’m realizing that it is really a beautiful dress. Simple silhouette with delicate details.Ā  Again, looks great on both ladies, but I’m gonna go with Nicole on this one – I think this dress is better balanced as a long dress, and the high neck looks a bit odd on Chelsie.

Heidi: I think the high collar on this dress rather begs for an upswept, formal hairstyle. It draws the eye to a nice neck and you don’t want your hair ruining the effect. So, I have to go with Nicole also. The bodice of the dress with the shorter length (and lack of shoes) on Chelsie just doesn’t look quite right.

The winner:Ā  Nicole, by a length…of dress.
