What (who) is your obsession?

ob·ses·sion Pronunciation: \äb-ˈse-shən\
noun

1: a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling.

~ Webster's online dictionary

Well, I must say I don't find this definition of obsession very flattering at all! In fact I'm quite offended! Do you guys think obsession is disturbing or unreasonable? Yeah...me neither.

I don't find my adorable friend JennyKate's obsession with Edward at all disturbing, or unreasonable. Okay, she did get a Twilight tattoo...hmmm.

And what about my dear friend Tanielle? Just because she vacuums a minimum of once a day, often twice, does that make her disturbing or unreasonable? Of course she has gone through 6 vacuums in her 6 1/2 years of marriage....hmmm.

And my obsession with NKOTB is in no way disturbing or unreasonable, right? I mean just because I did a weekly video countdown to their Vegas show (which I had to miss in the end!), c'mon...I was just copying my fab friend Amanda's video countdown to So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD)!

Speaking of....

That brings me to my current obsession. I kind of have obsession ADD....I have multiple obsessions, none of them ever leave, but I kind of rotate through them depending on what's goin' on in my life! With the new amazing season of SYTYCD, my obsession with this guy has been rekindled:

If you don't know who Wade Robson is, you are seriously missing out. This guy is a freakin' genius! I mean for real.

Aside from the late Michael Jackson, I don't know that there ever has been, or ever will be, a man as brilliant on the dance floor as Wade Robson.

By the age of 5, he was performing professionally. By age 12 he was teaching dance classes in Hollywood. He received his first professional chorography job at 14. By the age of 16 he was choreographing music videos and commercials for the likes of Britney Spears, and *N Sync. He also became the director of both Britney, and *N Sync's world tours at 16.

He has been a judge and choreographer on SYTYCD, and has won multiple Emmies for his work. I have barely scratched the surface here with this post, you can look him up to see the looooong list of his amazing accomplishments. All this and the guy is only 27 years old!

I'm hookin' you up with some of my favorite Wade youtube videos. there are lots of great dancers, and some talented choreographers out there...but the way Wade moves his body is magical, almost supernatural! Even when compared to the other dancers he's performing with. Have I said brilliant, or genius yet?

Since some of them are super short, and I can't decide which I love best, there's gonna be a bunch...just watch whatever you want from the selection! I highly recommend maximizing the video and watching it full screen!


First up, Wade's Power Commercial to promote his new dance shoe.

Here's Wade in the studio... the other dancers pale incomparison.

One of Wade's award winning numbers, he choreographed this piece for Season 2 of SYTYD, and did a surprise guest perfomance in this encore edition. He's the one at the head of the stairs, with the long white sleeves, and buttoned up brown vest.

The Hummingbird and The Fl0wer. This choreography also won an Emmy.
This is just a fun compliation of some of Wade's fabulous work, choreography, performances and show's he's directed.

Freakin' Genius.

Hi IS amazing. I don't think your obsession is unhealthy. I didn't that Tanielle loves to vacuum that much - me too! So funny!

XOXO

Oh to have even a sliver of his talent!

I don't blame you for being obsessed.
Love the Wade. ;)

Thanks for the shout-out...I don't think we are weird at all. Now, it would be weird if we were planning on rushing the stage and marking "Bleeding Love" or something during the tour. Not that I'm planning on doing that or anything. L won't let me.

;)

Love ya!

I LOVE this obsession! He is PHENOMENAL! Seriously an artistic genius! I'm glad you don't think my obsession with Edward is bad...even though I do have a Twilight tattoo. :) You still love me, right?! I share your NKOTB obsession, so I know you don't think I'm weird for that one. I am glad I am only fascinated with shiney vampires and boy bands. Apparently, I have an addictive personality...that's my psych friend's explanation for all of my...achem..."obsessions". Good thing I'm not amused by crack or something like that. All my "addictions" are legal. :)

I'm loving me some Wade! Thanks for the smokin' videos! It makes me want to run right home and watch my DVR'd episodes of SYTYCD! I've gotta get caught up!

Hope you're having a great day!

I have ALWAYS loved Wade!! He is AMAZING! I am floored at some of the stuff he comes up with!!

I loved that last video- thanks for finding it!

Are you going to the tour?? All the good seats are sold out here and I just don't know if I want to see them as small as ants dancing around!!

I have always loved SYTYCD, but it was that freaky vampire-ish routine in season 2 that got my husband hooked!

(So what's wrong with a little obsession now and then?! I say go right ahead!)

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t

Friend Makin' Monday and 100th post giveaway!

I just love Mondays! If you've never heard of Friend Makin' Monday , go to Kasey's to read all the rules and join in! I have met some of my best bloggy friends through FMM ! This week's task is to complete the following tag: 5 Senses Tag We are to list 4 things we love, and one thing we dislike, for each sense. Smell Like: 1. Pot roast in the oven! 2. Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si

What would a party be without us BOTH?

Y'all didn't really think we were gonna party seperately did you? Not when we have so much fun TOGETHER! And it's better this way, because it means you have TWO chances to win an awesome Blogiversary giveaway! One year ago today, Tanielle and I both started blogging. For me, I thought it might be a good way to promote our hairbow busines. But I quickly learned that the true value of my blog was in the wonderful women I've met and the wonderful friends I've made - some who have even become close friends outside of Bloggerville. I've laughed, cried, been inspired, and received the best comments from some of the smartest, funniest, kindest ladies I've ever known. Thank you all for all of it! And thank you Tanielle for partying with me, and for being one of the people I've had the most fun with in my life. Ever. 10 things I love about Tanielle 1. I love that she shares a maturity level equivalent to mine (in it's near non-existence!) 2. I love that s
