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.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

dancers = classic

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

I used to be a ballerina :( :( :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a date with a pretty ballerina.

― Paul Eater (eater), Sunday, 20 July 2003 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

My girlfriend used to be a ballerina.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 20 July 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 20 July 2003 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Stealing your boyfriends.

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 20 July 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't like this thread!!!

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

(No offense, Ally, I never knew you were a ballerina! I'll have to watch out from now on!)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I will so get slapped if I answer this honestly

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

God bless those strong legs.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a touchy subject!

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:06 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:10 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

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?

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

I bet she does Reverse Cowgirl.

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.

― 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.
