Agreeeeed, especially on Bluebird/Florine. My favorite parts of Sleeping Beauty are the ones that have nothing to do with Aurora. Give me the fairy variations up top, give me the wedding guests.

“I am here to love and am just trying to give my loving, honest perspective.”

You’ve gone a long way to try to justify your untrue statement that “As someone who just three days ago saw an exhibit that featured many prints of Moulin Rouge posters, the origin of ballet can be summed up with the necessity for the woman to twirl while lifting one leg straight up in the air, while wearing a short…

A. Right, because every ballet is different and you can’t paint the art form with such a wide brush.

Well it definitely sounds like you’ve never been to a ballet. Certain moves express romanticism, others anger, others longing. A royal character will not pirouette the same way a young woman character would or an anthropromoriphised character. There are romance tutus, and classic tutus and ballet skirts.

I feel like it’s worth mentioning that India was the first name called for 5 weeks in a row and the other two girls were frequently in the lower half. India excelled at video challenges, acting challenges, avant garde challenges, and Tatianna and Coryanne regularly faltered.

Which churches do you have experience with? Not that I think it doesn’t happen, but myself and my family have worked in churches my whole life and I’ve walked into probably 100 churches in many cities as a non-member and received services without even needing to give them a last name.

As a Pro-Church Tax Exemption person, if I may

Never learned how to drive/have never owned a car despite living and working in Los Angeles. Classic alcholism.

I was also an anti-social drink-aloner. My method of recovery is AA, which works really well for me but I know is not the thing that works best for everyone, and by working the 12 steps of Alcholics Anonymous I’ve really learned where that anti-socialness comes from and how to be equally happy in a crowd of strangers,…

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (not that you have to go that route, but) is available for free online. There is a section of stories called “They Stopped in Time” which is stories of so-called “high bottom” drunks or people who never ended up in jail/hospitals/homeless.

You’ve done the hardest part by acknowledging that. Best of luck <3

Three days before me!

You are so not alone. You can dot this.

This seemed too goo to be true, and a quick glance at the Amazon reviews shows that’s the case. Battery problems all around.

There is a little bit of gore but it’s all fairly easy to avoid if you are blood-sensitive (my boyfriend who I saw it with is and he handled it).

This movie is perfect. I saw it in a theater of mostly white people (I am white) and as I was leaving, a white woman behind me opined “I get the commentary, but what is he offering up as a solution?”
