So here’s another one…..love what the woman next to Maks is wearing. Wow! Just wow! Strange outfit choice! Once again, evidential proof that having money does not equal having good taste.  

I just don't know about that womans outfit and then from what I can see of her shoes...oh my!!!

I don't like those gladiator shoes on anyone who is not six feet tall and weighs 100 lbs. Dig those sleeves, too. Dang! I so wish Joan Rivers were here to critique these outfits. I miss her! Maks is no doubt upset by her death since he had just recently met her, laughed like crazy when they were on Andy Cohen's show, and called her one of his new homies. 
They must have told everyone to wear white! Personally, I'm hoping Romeo and Devin sleep together tonight!
 

 Oh---I am so blind!  Just realized that is the barber shop jacket--not plain blue!!  Just looks like much thinner stripes!!

you know we talked about how Meryl is going through alot of life changes and needs time....but so is Maks....he went from being on top of the world after the win, took a trip to India...where by the way he behaved himself quite well...to come home to a massive storm of sm and and gossip show backlash and hate over something we now know he did absolutely nothing to derserve...his tried with quiet dignity during this time to go on with buisness as usual and took ALL the heat onto his own shoulders..(just my opinion..to protect Meryl)....and through all this his buisness life has forever changed...he gave up his career admittedly so he wouldn't feel like he was cheating on Meryl...thats alot for anyone to deal with...what's he doing now???  idk....but i think maybe he needs our understanding and support as much as if not more than Meryl does

Yes, he quit DWTS because he couldn't feel the same as with Meryl, but he also mentioned that he has problems with his knees, ankles (or maybe he said feet) and a partially torn groin muscle that started with that tango stuff he did last summer (urged on by Karina). Remember, when he and Meryl were watching the first Tango, and he said, "Right there ! I pulled my groin." Of course we had no idea anything had happened at the time because he went right on dancing with no change of expression.
 

yeah i remember that...thats the thing he is so use to being the rock for everyone around him that sometimes it's easy for us to miss seeing it when he's the one needing the hand

You know, that is exactly right, April. And it is very hard to think that others can shore you up when you have been the one others have depended on your whole life.  It is a cross to bear, really.

Hit the quote button in the box you want to respond to.  Then type your reply.  You can mess around with it and it won't punish you!!!   You have to push submit for it to post.  Hit "go back" to clear it.

I will probably check up on how things are going on this board in a few days, but I am going to step away for awhile.  My reasons are identical to Tango's reasons.  I do not for a minute believe that Maks is falling apart.  And I can't say that he is reverting to his bad boy ways because I do not believe he was a bad boy any more than Val, or Derek or Mark or Tony is a bad boy.  And I most defintiely do not believe, based on the evidence, that he is being disrespectful to Meryl and hurting her.  The evidence based on a pattern of what they do when either of them is out of the country, is that MnM do communicate on a regular basis.  That pattern continued today.  I am confident that whether as a sweetheart or as an amazing friend, Meryl knew all about this trip before any of us did  because MnM talked about it. People are telling him he needs to ask for forgiveness.  Others are saying that he needs to crawl.  I think his instagram picture of the writing on the wall and Lizzie's tweet all point to this. He is not doing anything wrong, and this includes the fact that he is not hurting Meryl.  My opinion is so contrary to what is being said on this board that I feel it is best for me to take this break. I do not want to offend anyone.  Even more I do not want to say something to someone that will hurt or wound them.  We went from saying "LIsten to Maks" to questioning his very integrity in a matter of 24 to 36 hours.   

It has taken me so long to write this, edit it and rewrite it that probably all the rest of you have logged off.  Sweet dreams to all of you.  Gabriele, I think of you and your son a lot as I am becoming acquainted with the 21 year old autistic son of a friend of mine.  I spend time with him for several hours two days a week.  He is a sweetheart and madly in love with Disney. 

KOS, I think we ALL value your opinions -- I know I do. I desperately want you to be so right in everything you say. You are not offending us, I can assure you, and I often feel so good about it when people disagree with what I say because I hope they are right and I am wrong. We need everyone's opinion, trust me. I often spout off before I settle down because that is just my nature, and I need people like you to send me in another direction. So, please don't go. 
 

 
Please don't leave us, KOS.  We also love your songs and stories about what you do.
