Reality Diva Phaedra Parks made her debut on Dancing with the Stars last night! Her and her handsome pro dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed a “cha cha” to Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman”. The crowd really seemed to like them and she even had a local housewife stop by to cheer her on and that was Tamra Judge from The Real Housewives of Orange County!

Judge Derek Hough gave his critique but also flirted with Pha Pha telling her she looked incredible. Phaedra went on to say that it was her very first time dancing on a platform of that stature with a live audience but she think she did good. Derek said she has to get her footwork together because she was sliding around just a bit but they can work on those technical difficulties.

I loved Phaedra’s fringe costume it was really sparkly! She was quoted as saying…

“Everything is very detailed from the rhinestones on the costumes because you know, I love rhinestones, and I love these beautiful outfits and everything’s custom-made for you,” she marveled. “Everyone’s extremely nice, but it’s the biggest crew I’ve ever worked with in my life. There are150 people on set every day.”

Phaedra and Val scored 19 out of 30. Hopefully they get better with time but that’s not too bad for their first time dancing together. Vote for Phaedra you guys, especially if you are here in ATL! She’s a friend of the blog lol! See more photos and a video clip inside…
