My Dancing BOTW

Well, Naveen has said that he wishes he was more like Sayid. That implies that he's not enough like Sayid. That implies that it's time to move on.

So, after seeing him in his WWII uniform last night, I simply had to choose

Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Actually, I very could've chosen him after his rumba, too. Wow. That was so way sexy. I'd go on, but yeah, this is a family friendly site. We'll just leave it at saying it was sexy.

Maks is a Latin Ballroom champion. He was born on January 17, 1980 in the Ukraine. He started dancing at age 4, but when he was 13 he was in a skiing accident that almost cost him his leg. But then he had all sorts of surgeries and therapy and a metal rod inserted in his leg and more therapy and then he was up walking and running and dancing again! Go him!

Shortly after that his family moved to Brooklyn to give him and his brother (who's also a dancer) a better life. They had some trouble adjusting, especially with the whole language thing, but they made it. And he still has that whole accent thing going on, which is cute. (I think that's the right word. I think that in his case it's more cute than sexy.)

Then Maks grew up to be one of the top dancers in the world. Then he started the Rising Stars Dance Academy, which is one of the best dance schools in the US. He also is a board member for the non-profit organization DanceTeamUSA, which promotes DanceSport for young people. Maks also has a production company, "Maksim Chmerkovskiy Productions," which organizes performances all over the world. Plus there's Dancing With the Stars. So basically, he's a very busy boy. But he'll find time for me. ;)

Let's see, what else is there about Maks...He seems fun. He works hard, but knows how to laugh, and obviously he's patient enough to teach. (So he can teach me!) He's 6'2" which is happy, and he has great body lines. When he dances he has great extension, and is super graceful, and all that.

Unfortunately, he's a professional dancer, which (until he teaches me) means that he'd be dancing with some other woman, which I wouldn't like. And it means he wears leotards on occasion. And it means that he's waxed more than I ever have. (But thankfully it doesn't mean he's gay - he's not.) And (not related to the dancing thing) his name is impossible to spell. Although that might not be so bad - it's better than having a boring last name.

Fortunately, though, he's a professional dancer, which means he can dance. That makes me happy. After all, he's my BOTW. That means I can rumba with him. ;)
