My favorite show of all time – Dancing With the Stars – literally has me jumping off the couch, dancing, cheering and screaming with delight! I couldn’t wait to see Kirstie dance – the heels, the form fitting clothes and Maks by her side.  A woman who most likely has stuggled her entire life with [...]
