Dancing with the Stars

It's that time again. Dancing with the Stars starts up in September. People are buzzing about it. There's all kinds of speculation on TV and in magazines. At the little store where I work we have a special reason to think about this upcoming season. We provide the shoes for the show just like we provide shoes for Glee, Broadway shows (Jersey Boys, Rock of Ages, The Book of Mormon, Spiderman) and occassinaly movies (Burlesque, Nine) .
 
To be honest I only started watching last year but once I started watching I was hooked. The show is new to me so everything is still fresh and interesting and I can't wait to see who is on this year or who will come into the store. A perk about working at WORLDTONE (used to be a record store) is sometimes you get to meet a celebrity. I doubt Brad Pitt will ever go in but recently Katie Cruz went in with daughter Suri. Suri is taking dance they've been to our NY store and a few weeks ago they visited the LA store. The next day there were articles about it.

Of course that was unexpected just like Rita Moreno coming in you may not know her but she is a legend she was in West Side Story. She is now working on a one woman show Life Without Makeup. Dick Van Dike also came in once, it may the owner's day. She wanted to marry him when she was a little girl. She confessed to him that when she was little it was him and the Flash, before her brother told her he is just paper. Brothers are so cruel right? In addition to these random visits we can look forward to the beginning of Dancing With the Stars, often a celeb or two will come before the show starts and get fitted. Last year it was Chelsea Kane, Hines Ward, Kristie Allie, the year before that Brandy, Jennifer Grey, Bristol Palin, and Florence Henderson.


Most of those people did pretty well I think we may be a good luck charm. I bet the next winner will be in the store this August.
