Dancing with the Stars Season 18: Candace Cameron Bure Earns Praise for Taking Modest Stand, 'I'm Not Gonna Be Your Sexy Girl' (VIDEO)
Former full house star Candace Cameron Bure delighted fans with her modest stance on Dancing with the Stars Season 18. The actress set the tone from the beginning of the show and is receiving praise from her Christian fans all throughout social media.
Before Bure showcased her contemporary number with partner Mark Ballas she made sure to make mention of her belief. "The two most important things in my life are my faith and my family and I know that is what is going to get me through this competition," Bure told the cameras.
She also told her dance partner where she stands when it come to her wardrobe.
Bure stated, "I'm not gonna be your sexy girl, I'm a mom of three kids so I want to look good and feel beautiful, but I will probably stay on the more modest end of costuming."
The 37 year-old mom of three is in the competition to win it. She explains, "I'm sweet and compassionate and sensitive but I'm competitive." She wants her kids to know, "Excuses are for losers."
Bure's Christian admires were not sure what to expect. A promotional photo of the actress sent some fans into a comment frenzy on social media afraid that she would conform to the sexy girl image the show normally portrays with its female contestants.
Upon hearing her remarks on the show and seeing Bure's performance, relief ensued and the actress/author received thousands of comments from supporters praising her for her integrity and talent.
Here are just a few of those comments:
"Candace love what you said about being modest in attire! What a strong classy woman you are!"
"So glad that you're standing strong in your faith and family foundation- because you don't have to dance half naked and 'sexual' to win!!"
"THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing us that beauty is not about the amount of flesh you show. It's about what exists in abundance in your heart!"
"Thank you for choosing modesty!! My kids and I are watching dwts for the first time and having discussions about modesty and appropriate dance moves, thank you for being an example of modest beauty!!"
"Way to represent Christians everywhere, Candace. You are a fine example of Christians having fun without compromising our faith or the Gospel. Well done!! You did amazing!!!"
