Re: Ashley Hebert - Thread #1

[cfck2222]

I posted this as part of a comment on the Brad/Emily thread but I wanted to post it here where it's more on topic.

First off, for some reason, Ashley's Episode 6 blog at People REALLY impressed me and got me firmly on her side. I just loved the stance she took and I loved seeing how articulate and strong she was. I'm not even suspicious about somebody else writing that for her because I don't think somebody writing for her could write like that. I don't know why I reacted so strongly but it felt like the most real thing I've ever read in connection with this show.

Second, I've seen people wondering legitimately why Ashley's gotten such a bad edit this season and whether that means TPTB don't like her or think her relationship with F1 is doomed. Maybe it is although I still think TPTB misread how much the public would blame her and I think they've been planning a redemption edit.

But regardless of what happened, here's what else I like about Ashley's interviews/blogs lately. She doesn't seem defensive a la Jillian where Jillian was promising us we'd be proud of her at the end when people were after Jillian over the Wes thing. Nor does she seem cluelessly overcompensating a la Brad at ATFR. But maybe I should wait until ATFR before I say that :giggle:

I'm hoping we get to see more of the Ashley from Jimmy Kimmel Live and the Ep 6 blog from People in Ashley's interviews and on the show the rest of the season. Now THAT'S a woman I can root for

Cfck, ITA with everything you say, of course! I think she's not defensive or overly compensating because she KNOWS that people will see how smart she is and what a great choice she made and doesn't need to convince them of it before the finale. I love the new, secure, confident Ashley so much.

Completely random but does anyone know Ashley's middle name? Just curious..haha

I've noticed that when I try to write ( . . . ) I can't bring myself to do it anymore when typing here, I just do two dots now thanks to this stupid show.

The bachelorette's Advice For…

Looking sexy and sure of yourself dancing at a club without overdoing it

AH: My advice would be to put on a hot, yet comfortable outfit and practice a few go-to dance moves that make you feel confident. If you're still feeling silly, do your best not to show it! As time passes, you'll become more comfortable and the insecurities will just fade away. Remember, dancing should be fun. Don't take it too seriously!

Making your shy guy feel good about himself on the dance floor

AH: The reason most guys don't want to dance is because they are nervous that they may look "dumb" or make a fool of themselves. Tell him how much you would love to dance with him, then maybe plan a date night in with music and a fake dance floor and see what you guys can do in the privacy of your own place. The more comfortable he gets, the more likely he would be willing to take it public.

Finding the best dance workout class at the gym

AH: I teach ballet, jazz and hip-hop and all these classes do something very different for your body. Ballet uses the barre as well as exercises that strengthen your core [it's one of the best ab workouts for women], balance, and flexibility. I am a firm believer that ballet is the foundation to all forms of dance because you really learn how to carry yourself and focus on strengthening from deep within your muscles. Hip-hop on the other hand is a mixture of coordination, strength, and cardio. I always notice a huge change in my body fat content once I start teaching hip-hop classes because you have the ability to burn a lot of calories in every class. Jazz is a mixture of both benefits. It works your core strength deep within your muscles and increases flexibility, while still offering a "workout" if coordinated with high-energy choreography. If you're looking for more of a workout, I would suggest a hip-hop class, but if you're looking to strengthen and even tone, I would suggest ballet or jazz.

Improving your skills while having fun with your guy

AH: I would definitely suggest taking ballroom dancing classes together. It's a good way to strengthen your relationship, have fun, and also work on dancing together. Whether your goal is to dance together at weddings, or go out dancing at a club, these classes will allow you to feel comfortable moving together. I truly believe that good dancers are the ones that have confidence and have a great time. Practice in your living room with your guy and the more comfortable you get, the better you guys will become!

Dancing in heels without breaking an ankle

AH: My first piece of advice would be to practice walking in heels to get comfortable before taking them out for a spin. I would also suggest finding a pair with a wider heel to allow for better balance and less chance of a mishap. If you want to avoid moving your feet while tearing up the dance floor, focus on hip movement and modest arm gestures. A combination of that and a smile is all you need!

Catching the eye of a hot guy out on the floor

AH: Confidence and an overall sense that you are having a good time are the two things that always catch a guy's attention, both in life and on the dance floor.

Kick it up a notch and try these sexy dance tips with your guy.

Didn't JP say somewhere that even though he didn't really like to dance he thought it would be fun learn salsa?

Do you like to go out dancing? If yes, what is your preferred type of dancing? I'm not opposed to it but I don't necessarily "like" it. I have always wanted to learn to salsa.
