DWS: She Might Be Downes But She's
Left Not Out!
The finale of Dancing with the Stars was a bit like watching a a classic Disney cartoon except there were no bad guys - everyone was the winner – particularly former Miss Universe Lorraine Downes. Ms Downes and her professional dancing partner Aaron Gilmore danced like one would expect a handsome prince and his princess to dance – moving across the linoleum of the Avalon studios in a similar fashion to a pair of delicate swans gliding atop a large marzipan packed wedding cake.
Beatrice Fuimaina and her partner Brian were slightly less graceful but nevertheless appeared to be having a good time. Brian was obviously a man who had no fear of ending up in the Burwood spinal unit or finishing his days in an electric life support system a la Christopher Reeve – as he allowed Beatrice to twirl his agile body like a human baton.
