Romanticide is truly outrageous

She's debuting the role here in the US, her Odette/Odile world debut was with ABT this August in Australia. All that aside, I would kill to see her with Brooklyn Mack!

Recently it seems to be a marketing term to make her more relatable to the public. Which I'm all for because I love her. But I think what has backfired slightly is the misconception in the public eye that other professional dancers are not as athletic.

I don't even think that they all look super waif-like, it's just that we see her without tights and out of costume much more frequently than many other top tier ballerinas so you can really see her musculature. It gets talked up a ton because she was told that she had the "wrong" body for ballet, but seriously- put

It's hyper-extension, and while yes her calf muscles are firing, there is no weird stress on them.

For the same reason she is denounced by traditional balletomanes. Her strength is visible. Because traditionally, ballet is all about making extremely difficult things look effortless.

It is noteworthy that she doesn't defend him. She just acknowledges that nothing happened to her at that time.

You know what I like about Raven's response? She clears the rumors about herself up, asks to be left out, and does not rush to defend him or refute any other women's claims (Ahem, cough cough, friends of Woody Allen).

The curvature of her legs in the first photo has more to do with bone and the flexibility of the foot. Hyperextension is highly prized by ballerinas, as it's the prevailing aesthetic.

I feel like the wording here is confusing since Misty isn't debuting as a soloist (she's been one for a number of years), but as the principal role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake.

Wait, that first one—how? How? Calf muscles? How? I don't—how?

Can we just take a moment to admire her athleticism?

I saw Allison Janney in a bar onetime and she was wearing a leather moto jacket and had three hot young men with her and me and all my friends gasped simultaneously at the thrill of seeing her but none of us wanted to bother her so we just let her have her good time and it seems like a lot of fun to be Allison Janney

I seriously did not realize that the "designated ugly fat friend" was in the picture in the lead. I see we mean "Hollywood version of ugly, fat and friend".

Exploiting the bigotry of rich old lunatics to legally rob them of their money is the entire reason the anti-gay industry exists. For Brown and his fellow grifters it's always been about their greed, not ideology. I don't believe any of them are actually against marriage equality any more than Obama or Clinton ever

I am thrice divorced, I hate gays, and I LIVE IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER.

I desperately wanted that program and her entire closet when I was a kid. Who am I kidding, I'd still love to have it!

Kelly, why rely on Polaroids when you can use computer programming!

OMG THIS!!! Every time I look at myself in a dressing room mirror at Macy's I look like a 100 year old meth addict. It's like they don't want you to buy their stuff.

The mirror that shows you every angle of yourself at Macy's is the stuff of nightmares—I'd rather be tricked by a "Skinny Mirror" than see that again.

My Bestie had a skinny mirror (no TM) in her bedroom throughout high school and college. It was set at an angle and it made us look so amazing we would gaze into it before going out and consequently, feel like a million bucks. Man, I loved that Skinny Mirror. Now, apparently, I have an Old Tired Hag mirror in my home
