Ballerinas - what are they good for?

Message Bookmarked

Honestly, I just can't think of anything they could be useful for beyond ballet dancing. Not one single thing...

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 20 July 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

They are good for kicking hard-to-reach items off of high shelves with their Ballet-O-Kick 57 feature. Also, their saliva is Cherry Coke, so if you want a nice cold refreshing drink, ask a ballerina to spit in a glass for you.

― Chriddof (Chriddof), Sunday, 20 July 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

But they're so flexible, how can they be useless?

Perve.

chess champions and ballerinas should hook up and they could have the most useless babies ever

I once went to a party at Juilliard. This is basically what the crowd looked like.

If you roll them up very tight, they are good for cleaning out exhaust pipes.

What is she now?

― thoth (Jake Proudlock), Sunday, 20 July 2003 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

A nursery teacher. She's still extremely bendy though. Hooray for ballet.

I will so get slapped if I answer this honestly

I'm getting slapped anyway so let me just ask, Matos, is the honest answer "Reverse Cowgirl Style?"

Hey, Tom, be prepared for a ballerina ASS KICKING when I come to Baltimore for that one.

Maybe it's a myth that ballerinas are really good in bed. Please, someone tell me that it is.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

If I wasn't so busy stealing Mary's boyfriend, I'd laugh at that joke! Alas!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

That was such a bad crosspost

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

(Mary, it's not true, and I'm not just saying that)

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, ballerinas are perfectionists so I guess they are good in bed after all. Grrrr.

Ha ha x-post, it worked fine as was. I could never get mad at Ally -- you have turned in your toe shoes haven't you?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, sadly I have gained so much weight since I was younger and have given into the powers of booze and smoke and now am an ex-ballerina.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

How long were you a ballerina for?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I started when I was really little and had to give it up when we left NYC and my dad had no job, but I took it up again from like 12-16 and then occasionally took a refresher after 16, so I think the total would come to about 8 years plus here and there stuff.

But the smoking really ruined it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Really, my ballerina friend told me that tons of ballerinas smoke so that they won't eat, but I don't see how they could keep their endurance. Any pictures of the the little ballerina Ally?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Aside from the NYC part, Ally just described my ex.

Did you give up singing because smoking altered your voice, too?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Mary, my mom has pix! I can ask her to send them to me though I have no idea how to explain why. I actually smoke to reduce food cravings too but it wears you out too much to dance, especially not on a dedicated basis.

I did used to sing too, smoking destroyed my vocal chords :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

(That's what I would have thought, but these smoking ballerinas dance professionally! They should smoke while their onstage, to show the audience how they maintain their figures.)

Ally doesn't seem prissy enough to be a ballerina. Yes, I'm still bitter after ten years.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

haha if ballerinas could smoke on stage I probably would've stayed one!

That's just Matt's gf, there are millions of others who are crap, mary.

Indeed, most of her mates are worryingly self-obsessed (to the point of one of them hissing "look, you want me, alright?" at a potential suitor, before being, in his own words an "epically boring lay") I just happened to luck out with the nice one.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that most guys who date ballerinas act like they're going out with a doll. (Matt and his sexy but not dim ball of fire excepted.)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

They're very good at giving certain types of women (i.e., me) inferiority complexes.

I think the problem lies largely with those who regard their gf's body as being a status symbol = they are dicks and always will be and, sadly, there's nothing anyone can do about it. The love of my life has a ferocious intelligence which keeps me sprinting to keep up with her on a daily basis, she inspires the love of classes full of children despite teaching on a rough city estate where she is sometimes the only authority figure they've ever run up against. And she cares about each and every person who crosses her path until they give her reason not to. This is why I love her.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I always admired the skill and strength of dancers (god, I could NEVER do what they do), but not at all the sad obsession with body image some of them seem to have (I say "some" because I'm sure it isn't a lot of them, and I by no means want to offend anyone reading, this is just my observation).

I used to go past the VCA (vic college of arts) every day on the way to work, which has a dance school. There'd be a gaggle of skinny, tightly-hairbunned young things on the tram, talking like teens do in bitchy tones about other people... except you would always hear something along the lines of "how can they let someone as fat as her be a dancer!?" about a (presumably absent!) colleague. What saddened me was to think the "fat" person being discussed was probably as thin and hardworking as the rest of them. All they ever talked about was the size abd appearance of people they knew.

Models are the same (well, the couple I know who were old friends). Its almost as if they're in such a rarified atmosphere they lose perspective, I guess.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

while ok, most dancers are super-skinny, dancing does not require any given body type. nor does dancing = ballet, necessarily, obv.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 21 July 2003 05:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Absolutely nothin! Hunh! Say it again.

― nickn (nickn), Monday, 21 July 2003 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I girl that I know was ultra thin and she went for an audition with the Royal Ballet. One of the judges said to her "Your arse is too fat".

Now this would all be a joke if the girl in question didn't take it to heart, believing that her arse really IS too fat. She has now made it as a dancer in modern dance, but, to my knowledge, she never eats. I don't think you can be a pro dancer without developing body and food issues, which I think is a nasty shame.

― thoth (Jake Proudlock), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I was told many times I was too fat to do ballet and I should've lost about 20lbs.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Hold UP!

Could it be that Ms. Byrne is being disingenuous? It is my opinion that she has a perfectly good idea of U&K ballerina usage and that she is just being coy.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

When I was 22 I shagged an 18-year-old ballet dancer. She was crap, but then again so was I.

Ballerinas are perfectionists -- as such, they will tend to super succeed in other areas of their lives -- so I guess they are good for anything they put their mind to.

I used to be a ballerina but gave it up because I didn't have the reach-around.

What is the shelf life of a ballerina? How long can they expect to be at the top of their field? (Before they become a choreographer or what have you.)

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

My salsa teacher (not that I am actively taking lessons with her currently, but she is still my teacher) was a ballerina who even made it to the stage with a reputable professional troupe for a few seasons; and I think she's pretty great. She and her husband (who also danced professionally, but not in ballet, and for a longer period of time) opened up their own dance studio. She once told me that she did in fact envy women who had that anorexic ballerina ideal, but when I expressed concern, she said, "Are you crazy? I love to eat too much. I'm Italian." Fortunately she has the good sense to try to instill her young ballet students with self-confidence, discouraging them from being overly concerned with their looks, and helping the ones who are being teased get through it. I really like the way she cares about her young students as people. Her studio also has one of the most multi-cultural selection of classes (especially outside an arts center) that I've seen, mostly, I think, because she loves novelty.

As for smoking, I'm rabidly anti-smoking, but I thought most professional dancers smoked!

― Al Andalous, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

When I told her about taking percocet after some knee surgery I had a while back, she told me that she had that once (after dental surgery or something), and when she became conscious, she discovered that her arms and legs had been restrained. Apparently, she was waving her arms and legs around while she was still "under" and on the recovery bed.

― Al Andalous, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I think at the higher end of your twenties things start to look bleak. It doesn't help that ballet is incredibly taxing for your body and you'll most likely suffer career-threatening injuries before your shelf-date.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I always thought there was a conventional agreement that "ballerinas = beautiful" in a porcelain doll way, but before this thread I never would've associated them with anything erotic. Who was the famous choreographer (or were there many?) who wished he (they) could cut away his ballerinas' breasts?

Someone should post Tracer Hand's final emphatic "AND PLIÉ!!" to the SON OF EXCELSIOR! thread. That shit's funny.

The strength of this whole flexibility-is-sexy is still a little baffling to me. Sure -- it's tittilating, and okay, pretty fun and sexy, but in the big mechanical picture, surely flexing your girlfriend into weird positions isn't going to get you all that far.

My girlfriend was a competitive teenage ballerina, to the extent of leaving town and going across the country for full-time dance boarding schools; I don't know much about levels of prestige in the dance world, but my sense is that she was really, really good. She makes me watch ballet movies, which I have grown to love. From what I gather, the "rarefied" tag applied here is most accurate. It feels really unfair to pick on them, because the successful ones tend to have been dedicated to this one really arcane challenge -- to the point of exclusion from other kids, being holed up with basically each other and concerned with things no other kid would much care about -- since they were very, very young. In terms of their echo-chamber seclusion they are ten times worse than theater people, and yet divas aside they still sound a whole lot nicer than theater people turn out.

It doesn't help that ballet is still sort of medieval as an art form, in terms of its concerns and how you have to train into it and what you're shooting for. (Being a ballerina strikes me as about as removed from the rest of the world as being a castralto.)

When I was little, I had a small wooden wall hanging with a picture like this on it. Underneath, it said something about following your dreams. I did ballet for several years and tap too. I never got into jazz, but I did take a funny modern dance class in college. It was full of male drama majors.

They are good for inspiring good shades of cheap drugstore nail polish. My current favorite is "Ballet on Ice" Maybelline Wet Shi*ne, although in the past I have liked a nail polish called "Ballet Pink" by OPI. They are always a good shade of pale pink.

By the by, if a celebrina was going to get her nails done these days, what sort of shade do you think she'd request?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 1 August 2003 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I fucking hate ballet! Hate it! Fuck off useless prats! (for the same reason I hate Opera)

I want to choreograph a ballet movement to one of Soundmurderer's ragga jungle mixes. Now that's some ballet I could enjoy!

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 1 August 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you mean Essie's Ballet Slipper? I've got a bottle of that somewhere around here.

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 1 August 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

That must be it then. Anyway, what are the good colors these days?

She looks like a Stepford wife.

― adaml (adaml), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think she's really a ballerina to be honest.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet she does Reverse Cowgirl.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 2 October 2003 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Who would want to with HER? What the hell happened to her thighs? That bony ass gives me the fear, seriously.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 2 October 2003 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

what I want to know is what the hell is she so happy about?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 2 October 2003 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

― Elton, Thursday, 2 October 2003 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

What are they good for?

A big pile of ballerinas will keep you nice and warm on a cold night.

But only if you pour gas on them first. They're hard to get started.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 2 October 2003 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Tis no ballerina; tis a wife in whore's lenj-er-ee

― ModJ, Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I like kittens and diamonds and shoes :( :(

I guess this proves my worthlessness :( :( :````(

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

It's like my head busted open and they replaced the porridge with mildew.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:49 (twenty-two years ago)

What of implants, Ally?

― ModJ, Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't going to mention it, you bastard.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, darling, I haven't been around much and I'm a little out of practice.

― ModJ, Friday, 3 October 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

What is hot about that outfit anyway? It's kind of freaky.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not what's on the outside that's beautiful, Ally... look beyond...

― ModJ, Friday, 3 October 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Hard to do that with a photo of a chick I don't know, Jimmy.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Interesting... perhaps it's a male thing.

― ModJ, Friday, 3 October 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not really talking about the girl though. The outfit.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh. Corsets then. Corsets are hot. So are thigh highs.

― ModJ, Friday, 3 October 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

But that one? It's kind of mangy and hot pink.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 3 October 2003 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the attractive factor is sorta psychological -- something that awkward and you know she's gotta be doing it just to please you. I mean there's no other reason...

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 3 October 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

She's like a wedding cake.

― adaml (adaml), Friday, 3 October 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ballerinas are great because they have such beautiful silky outfits. A pink tutu is a wonderful match with a big red ball gag. Unfortunately the outfits are very fragile and my hairy chest keeps ripping through the corsets. I'm sure the ballerinas don't like that, but if they complain, I'll put ball gags in their cakeholes.

― sucka (sucka), Friday, 3 October 2003 08:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the attractive factor is sorta psychological

Yeah, I think that's it. I know it's hot, even if it's only in the reptilian center of my Brane.

...and if it looks a little mangy, it's coz she's been fucking and it's not as neat as it used to be.

― ModJ, Friday, 3 October 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

What the hell happened to her thighs? That bony ass gives me the fear, seriously.

Don't look too closely at high-fashion models; they make this chick look chubby.

OK even when I was bulimic and a ballerina I did not fucking look like THAT, jesus. I'm like the most staunchest defender of small girls, too.

Can we go back to where Ned admitted that he's a dirty porridge head?

L--n Y-----r was wearing a pink tutu today. I dunno, maybe that should go on the fashion thread.

Wow! I was just blogging for the great Sylvie Guillem and I came across this! Now I know what guys think when they see or those that I've dated! This is incredible to read. I'm going to forward this to my friends, dancers and non-dancers.
