Guess who called last night? None other than the Mambo King himself (and God willing, the next winner of Dancing with the Stars) Fabian Sanchez!!!!
Yes!!!!!!! He does actually remember the little people. Actually I had him admit that he has long been envious of my dance moves. Certainly, I was the inspiration to his calling into the Dance World. I almost want to publish this hidden video of myself dancing, but if I did my son would be afraid it would end up on you tube and I'd be the next star wars kid. Certainly we would have to go underground, change my names to something unassuming like Martha Ann Ledbetter. But let me say....it's good. It's also much like watching a train wreck, horrifying yet you cannot turn away. If Fabian wins. It's going up. I know, I know...if that happens it will one day it will be me, still socializing with you (that said with much the utmost love and respect for the one person in the blogisphere who may come across this post and actually read it, you know that.)......
But still, getting back to Fabian, I know his schedule is so slammed and yet he called to thank me (and everyone and anyone who will vote for him & Marlee) for supporting him. That, my blogging friends, is the stand up kind of guy that he is. I would love to be able to chat up his secret dance moves but alas, I am sworn to secrecy (you know it is hard). I can, however attest to the fact that Fabian and Marlee are tuned up and are ready to dance! (this was said without him even breathing hard after long practise sessions, ever the professional).

Look here,
this is one of his new photos. I recall seeing him in high school. He was always standing around like that, that same pose. Walking down the the hallway, by the telephone, in the lunchroom line......And somehow, he managed to find a career that he can use that stance with. Certainly the ambitious one, working with what he has....Good for you Fabian!

GOOD LUCK FABIAN!!!

Okay...I lOVE LOVE LOVE Marlee Matlin...I started learning sign language at the age of 8 in case I ever got to meet her (or any one else who can sign--btw...only happened once and my hand was in a cast and I was so nervous I "hand stuttered")...I never watch Dancing with the Stars but now I will watch and defin. call to vote. SO EXCITED (I have caught Fabian Fever...you are contagious, Leigh)
To all, thanks for commenting. Continue to do so and sprad the word.
Southerner-so did you meet Marlee? I too can sign. I learned out of highschool. Though is you aren't active with it or in the deaf community you forget quickly...
I am cracking up because I was google-ing a friends phone number and her name came up on your website. I then looked at your pics and saw pics of her and some other friends of mine. Misty Gillispie and Sherry Thomas. What cracks me up is that I saw your work at their home a few years ago and commented on how much I loved the pics! That is so neat!
I cannot vote...WAAH! People under 18 need to fight for their right to vote! YAH! ROCK ON! =) :)
"Sledge"
Jenny Hope! Wow, yes! I know both of them. I have taken pics for Sherry a few times. Great women! Small world!
Sledge, my child,-I will check on that to see if that is indeed the rule. You're vote should count!
I wrote a long comment yesterday but my computer went crazy on me!
I came back to see if the comment went through...it didn't! Booooo-whooooo!!!
Any ways...I will watch and vot for Fabian...FOR SURE!!! Seems like a GREAT guy!!!! =)
PS - I've already told my mom and nanny to vote for him as well...we all watch it!!! =)
GOSH...I wish I would dance like that!!!
Hi J- I hate it when that happens! Thanks for checking back. Yes, spread the word. He is a great guy, still the same guy from highschool. So kind.
I am so appreciative of you helping to get the word out there!THX~Leigh

All the Best,
Sharon Rutledge
