Tomorrow has the potential to be one of those Mon mornings where you can be proud to be a brit. There is no way we can't clean up @ the Oscars. Slumdog Millionaire is the absolute best of british indie film and the soundtrack is flawless. The movie tells the story of an underdog, the movie itself is an underdog and the world loves underdogs. British director, British film and british actor...red, white and blue is looking hot right now. No political undertones intended.

Whilst on this crazy train with Mr. Union Jack, I should reminise with you all about my first crush. At 4years old, Christopher Dean of Olympic superstars Torvill & Dean was in line to be my husband. I watched figure skating instead of cartoons, I made Daddy sign me up for skating lessons first thing every sat morning and he had to tolerate my tantrums when I couldn't master the steps. Eventually I let the dream go but I watched their story tonight on TV to celebrate 25yrs since Bolero scored 12 perfect 6.0's and it got me all fired up to fulfil my dream of becoming an ice dancing super hero once again. Sequins and headbangers and teapot cradles, they are my calling.

I had a crush on Christopher Dean, too. Those two made pairs skating sexy. Bolero is a classic.
