My #1 is by "The Hard Nut" by the Mark Morris Dance Group. It's set in the late 60s early 70s and has a gender bending cast. Men dancing en pointe in tutus; the maid and the mother are men. The Waltz of the Snowflakes is absolutely spectacular:

Watching this performance I love this Video Miss Scarlett! I have never seen Men on Point before. I was tickled to see the way their bodies handled Toe shoes.The men here did really well but still move so differently than women. Missing that light as a feather flexibility that ballerinas portrait. I also found I was looking at all the dancers to see if any of them had breasts Nice! Thank you for sharing this

You're welcome. I discovered this gem several years ago on Ovation. It is amazing. Unfortunately it's not in their lineup this year. (Trivia - they use about 20 lbs of glitter confetti at each performance.)

Men en pointe made me shudder. I have a cousin who danced with the Joffrey many years ago (when Ron Reagan, Jr. was there). She weighed about 5 lbs (not really, more like 95) and her feet hurt all the time and would actually bleed from her toe shoes. If she went through that I don't want to think about what the men experience.

Playing HouseDaddy and hanging out with the furbabies. Perusing jobs and knowing that once I graduate, I can hit the ground running in a field I love that is very stable and lucrative.

Soft*Silver · 12-08-2010, 05:06 PM

talking to an old friend on the phone...she is in her 70s and we use to be neighbors. I love her so much and we made plans to visit...

JustJo · 12-08-2010, 05:25 PM

We got a flyer yesterday announcing my son's 8th grade graduation night at Universal Studios...picture 100s and 100s of 8th graders running around until midnight (yea....I don't want to either

)

Anyway...cost is $90, plus spending money...and half has to be in by December 15th.

I signed his permission slip, wrote the check...and then wrote the teacher a note and told her I'd like to "scholarship" in a hard-working kid who deserved to go, but who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.

Lots of people are out of work....and that's a lot of money right before Christmas if you are.

It felt good.

Blade · 12-08-2010, 05:39 PM

Finally getting to hold the new love of my life. The smell of her, her sounds she makes when I'm lovin on her. Chuckling....she sounds like a squeaky toy. See gallery for pics

My daddy Bluebird playing in the trees just outside my livingroom window. I'm so happy my little family of Bluebirds decided to stay right here for the winter.

Watching our old brown cat play like she was a kitten.. Carring the ball around, playing soccer, hiding it, only to find it and POUNCE, like she didn't put it there...

Soft*Silver · 12-09-2010, 12:06 PM

my daughter and her boyfriend unexpectantly dropped by this morning to see the house all decorated up! We had coffee and chatted while enjoying the holiday ambiance. She was off school to have some medical tests so they decided to suprise me. How wonderful!!!

katsarecool · 12-09-2010, 12:36 PM

I did an ink drawing for a holiday card for a BFP member!!! Will mail it today! I hope she likes it!! And it made me smile in anticipation of her reaction!
