I know professional ballet dancers who are healthy, but the difference is that none of them came out of the “classical” stalwarts like City Ballet and the like. Balanchine himself is a major reason why the very thin ballerina is so prized, and Martins was his protegee.

Did anyone here watch the documentary about Wendy Whelan called Restless Creature? When I watched it I got abusive undertones regarding his treatment of her and there is no bigger name than Whelan in the ballet world.

She’s really the epitome of grace and elegance

It’s about damn time everyone realized the magic that is Carmen. It’s too bad that Geoffrey Holder wasn’t by her side for this but I’m willing to bet he watched all of the world fete his love.

Carmen and her late husband Geoffrey Holder were a force to be reckoned with and I love that she is still teaching. FYI Megan it’s de Lavallade for her last name not la Vallade.

No one’s gonna cop to doing rails in the office bathroom? What a repressive work environment.

I can’t even... I was a teenager in San Francisco in the 90s. AIDS wasn’t a diagnosis; it was a death sentence. I volunteered at a bunch of places (largely food-based, ‘cause wow, turns out that when you’re too sick to work and had to constantly shell out money for a million new tests and bizarre afflictions, it turns…

Fuck this woman. Fuck fuck fuck this woman.

You’ve got it all wrong. He’s from Hawaii. He’s a shredded beach bum surfer dude. Shredded surfer dudes have been never been not sexy since like 1950.

He’s sexy as fuck. Period. Ain’t nobody checking for your curated, kale covered and gluten-free hipster “what is really sexy” nonsense.

Yep. I have had it with Donna Brazile. Her passing of debate questions to the Clinton Campaign was beyond unethical, and she can be directly implicated in a number of failed DNC initiatives over the past decade. She’s a party hack.

It’s Brazile looking for headlines. Financial mismanagement doesn’t get the clicks and book sales that implying a non-existent rigging of a nomination system Sanders lost back in February of 2016 does.

Women were sacred=women knew their place.

Just what goes on at Amway Summer Camp? I had a friend who got wrapped up in Amway. the key word is had. 10 year friendship and it came to an end one night when I threw him out of my house over his Amway bullshit.

This shit is hella disturbing! My first venture into the rabbit hole. Fucking shit, man.

I left this unthread but this was a disturbing read https://www.google.com/amp/s/frankreport.com/2017/06/11/part-9-branded-slaves-and-master-raniere-allison-mack-replaces-the-late-pam-cafritz-at-top-of-the-harem/amp/

No shit. There was a blind item about this. Fuck. Maybe 4-5 months ago?

I’ve been WAITING for y’all to get to this story.

Do you remember the story about how the kid was writing a paper with headphones on and there was writing all over the house that said “LOOK AT ME”? It still haunts me and that was I think like 3 years ago.

so have the militant Burmese Buddhists. An oxymoron if there ever was one.
