New hairdo....?

I have not been blogging for the past week, so I have a lot to catch up on. Even though I am no longer in the main Strictly competition I am still keeping busy. Last week was a really relaxing time, and a good chance to take some time out after the busy months, but since then I have been back to practice and doing various shoots.

I had a great time on Saturday's show, and really enjoyed the dance Brian and I did with James and Ola...the Bee Gees are so amazing and it was really special to dance for them. It was also a great honour to see them perform for the first time in so long, so I will always remember that. Thank you for all your comments about our dance, I am glad you all enjoyed it!

I know we are now in November (the year is going so quick!), but I wanted to thank you all again for the birthday gifts I received in September! They were so special, and I was so touched to receive them. My schedule was very hectic back then so I do not think I thanked you enough. Rihanoff's Radiant Lounge I was so grateful for the tee shirt, which as I mentioned on my facebook page earlier, I love! I hope to take a photo at some point...also the book you made was so sweet. So thank you all!!

As you know this week is a bit different as Strictly is going North. It will be good to have a change of scene, and I look forward to seeing the sights of Blackpool. I hear where we are dancing will be really good, so very excited. We are all going up very early on Friday in a team bus, so an early start! I look forward to talking to you about it here next week, with all the news and gossip from the trip.

Since I last blogged, the photo shoot I did for St Tropez has now come out. If you have not seen some of the pictures click on this link http://www.st-tropez.com/en/spotlight/news/kristina-rihanoff.aspx It was a really great shoot, and the black hair shoots were a bit different, I know some of you said you did not recognise me! I do not think I did either, but I am glad you liked the change. It was reported I had changed my hair colour for good, but I have not as you would have seen from Saturday....Some of you even compared me to a bond girl! Very flattered.

Once again thank you so much for all of your support as always. I feel so lucky to have such kind, supportive people behind me all the time, it means so much.

Speak to you all soon!
