Thank you Julianna for not mentioning that you are mormon in this article. My biggest pet peave is when people say the are mormon for the noteriety it brings and then their actions prove (In this case the way you dress) otherwise. ss

to Sally

Have you ever heard "kindness counts"

Her dad Bruce was a student body officer at the College formerly known as Ricks in the late 70's.

To Sally

A wee bit jealous eh? Get off you high horse. Pathetic. The way she dresses? You have got to be kidding me. The 18th century called and wants you back.

to Sally

Ridiculous....that's a mighty high horse you live on.

To Sally

Gee can you be any more judgemental? That is a very sad comment that you made. It is comments like that and attitudes like yours that give us Mormons such a bad name. Sally you need to go repent!

Sad Sally

Sally, I'm LDS and I don't think this reflects negatively. Have you ever seen a tango dancer that dresses in knee length dresses and elbow length sleeves? Neither have I. And I lived in Argentina, the birthplace of the tango. I think it's great that she is living her dreams. I haven't seen her receive any negative press, so I say congratulations to her.

Keep up the good work. I think you should use all the talents God gave you. Love to watch you dance.

Oh Sally you are soooooo......

wrong about Julianna. The Hough family is a fine LDS family. I know. I used to dance with Julianna's older sisters, we studied at the same ballet studio. They, and I, (a guy) used to always wear tights and leotards to class, which show every curve and line on the human body. I can say from experience that the Hough girls were classy and modest in every sense of the word.

While I agree it would have been admirable for her to select a more modest costume for her performances, I don't think we can imply she is a hypocrite, (as your post implies, Sally) merely because she "dresses for the sport." While her costumes are immodest, I don't think we can accuse her of being an immodest person on that basis alone. Many LDS performers choose to make a statement by selecting modest clothing, others do not. That choice alone does not make a person more or less modest.

Remember, the Lord looks not on the outward appearance, but at the persons heart.

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was "Wow, she needs to get more clothes on." I'm with Sally on this one.

Julianne's dancing and singing talents are nice but her "Blazing Hotness" factor is off the charts!!

I've seen her on CMT (my dad loves to watch that) and I had no idea she was from Utah. Good for her. Her star is rising.

Hmmm....costume or everyday wear. Hate to say it but I haven't seen to many people in the grocery store dressed the way she does for Dancing With the Stars. Some how I think her everyday clothes are a little bit different than what she wears on stage.

a casual observer

She could definitely be more modest. I'm sure there is lots of pressure from producers and such to wear the clothes they want but she could be more modest no question.

Not saying that I mind it because she is ferociously hot, but its not a good reflection on her religion. Is she active though? For some reason I doubt it.

Sally isn't all wrong.

I am not going to judge Julianne for her dress on the show, I do admire Ashly for choosing to be more modest, but that doesn't make Julianne wrong. What bothered me about Julianne was the naked looking pose draped in a US flag, I felt that was soft porn and not respectful to our flag. I don't care if it was a Mormon girl or if it was Britney Spears, either way, that pose was not appropriate.

I do admire Julianne for speaking up about her values, but sometimes what you do and what you say cancel each other out, and I felt that the flag took away from what she had to say.

I still like Julianne and am glad she is going to be back on the show, I just hope she will be a little wiser with flags next time.

Doug

Oh she's positevly active alright! She's actively hot--smoking hot!!

This forum makes me hope that no one on my family is ever in the news. The vultures pounce no matter what.

Dad...

Son....get off you behind and get after this one...she is a keeper!

Love

Dad!

None of my business, really, but

The costumes for your sport is one thing....but the sleeveless tops and tiny shorts are something completely different, not to mention the tiny bikinis she wore for Shape magazine a few months ago. I'm guessing she probably is a great girl, but it is disappointing to see her where those type of skimpy clothes off the dance floor. But really, it's nobody's business but hers and the Lord's!

Linda

who says mormons have the corner on modesty,you people need to get off you high horse and look in the mirror, and is it part of LDS scripture to always give backhanded compliments? Can't you just say, what a talented girl and leave it at that
