"Act I: Not so very long ago, in a suburb of a rich and fashionable capital city, a young orphaned woman called Cinderella lived with her Stepmother and two ambitious Stepsisters." So begins the program for James Kudelka version of Cinderella performed by the American Ballet Theater. We saw it at the Met Saturday night and were blown away. Prokovfiev's score is beautiful and the choreography was GENIUS.
The ambitious Stepsisters stole the show, they danced the entire thing off ballance like a couple of elegant clods stumbling around on pointe(!). Cinderella danced the first act barefoot, in second act the fairy godmother visits with "Blossom," "Petal," "Moss," and "Twig," who bring Cinderella her ball gown and point shoes and teach her to dance. The shoe at the center of the story becomes a metaphor. Once Cinderella gets her slippers "the girl rises--literally--into womanhood. Dancing on pointe demonstrates growing mastery at the same time that it poses formidable new challenges." The program goes on to explain, "a dancer on pointe is a kind of miracle: an entire human being skimming along with the smallest possible speck of contact with the dull, sublunary earth. That effortlessness is only possible after endless hours of rigorously disciplined effort. "
When the prince sets off on his globe spanning hunt to find the owner of the slipper he encounters a Nordic skier (on skis), a Spanish senorita (in flamenco shoes), a Dutch skater (on rolling clogs), a giggling geisha (barefoot), in the final act, Cinderella prances around the kitchen lopsided with one foot en pointe, the other bare. It was all pretty funny and well done.
We took my 7 year old neice who was totally blissed out. More dance reviews coming up, we're going to see Layla Childes and Sonya Robbins's new piece. Check out this massive and AMAZING REVIEW in the times about the piece they're doing this weekend, it sound brilliant.

Corns, years ago I saw Taming of the Shrew by ABT and it was a blast.
By the way...can you remember one joke from the other night? Alls I remember are the punchlines--Flatbush, Bushwick....

I been working on my gobstopper. So far it turned yellow and then dried up to a yucky white. I hope to have more to report on later. It tastes delicious and gives me important energy nutrients I require as a laterally expanding unit.
What are....punchlines that end in "bush", Alex.
Thanks Corns. Mm, your stick prevents you from enjoying the humor of the bush.

But when Frogs smears anesthetic on my ding dong, I am practically like a girl. I swear. The hairs practically fall out.
MMM. FB, I always wished candy would fizz like alka seltzer tablets if you put them in liquids. They should. It's a cruel joke.
yes i'm a going to fire island for today/tomorrow. i feel fancy. i am returning early to go to the shack on sunday. the shack needs some feeding. skittle feeding. with tonic water sprtizer form of elf.
Fb, You CAN go to childrens ballet! True the audience was made up of families with kids (mostly little girls, there were lots of gay men in the house. Hilarious really.
I thinks you can pass as a gay man, just swish a little more you know? Easier then passing as a 7 yr.old

They're around here somewhere MM. I'll check the pockets of the balloon pants I was wearing yesterday.
Yes Goon, for the last time, the pants are made out of balloons. The neighborhood hooligans think it's funny to throw darts at me but I don't think it's funny, I think it hurts deep inside and the puncture wounds are nothing to laugh at.
thanks pd! i am glad you found the website. it's a little weird/random but ??

I gotta check it out. But meanwhile I must tell you of the explosion of goofy, spastic and lovely images I beheld at the shack of FB. Serene and jumpy all in one. Bouquets of strangeness. Mind tangles.
mm, thank yu for helping!!! talking me down and such. i am a mess of nervous disorders. i am glad you found the relics somewhat serene. this is good.
drippy owl is embroidery, beads, satin and such. the black one, right? he's a dum dum. thanks for lookin.
I love owls I really do. Especially psychedelic ones. The black owl with the pntagram necklace under the dripping land/sky is freaking me out. Is it a painting or stitchery or a combo?
Corns--I love that one too.
I am trying to tear myself away from the computer so that I can go to the shack. This is hard.

donut holes are a sham for sure. we make them here and sell them at 400% markup. where can i see these owls fb?
no vapes it's fine. the hole in the donut goes around the hole in the bum, like a fancy ring. an a-hole bracelet of sorts. sorry to have to be the one to clarify that.
