One Minute Of Fame 2009 1st
Aug 2009
One Minute Of Fame was a good
opportunity for the Jumping Jewels to
perform infront of TV cameras so the team went for the auditions. Ariel
and Amy also auditioned in the individual catergories. About one and
half weeks later Candice Miller called saying the Jumping Jewels where
through to the quarterfinals but not the individuals. We never
knew if the team would make it to each next round because this was a
popularity contest and the quarterfinal even had a 30% online voting
component. Some of the other teams had massive amount of support at the
quarter and semi-finals at Millenia Walk.
For the audition we wore our Jumping Jewels red jumper and a flare
jeans for a street look. In hindsight we look really ordinary then. For
the quarters it was orange hoodies
with lime green skirts. For the semi the Okto told all the contestants
not to change the costumes or choreography. After the semi I found
these great yellow short pants. Then while the team was in Hong Kong
for the
Asian I found the pink parka and white T and shoes. This was also when
we
reworked the choroegraphy with other skippers who did not go to Hong
Kong. When they returned it was three long days of practice and a long
day at Medicorps for the finals.
We never thought we could win until they announced the winner because
this was neither a sport nor a skipping competition. It was
a real reality competition for us.
