Ballerinas

After attending the year-end recital of my old dance school this weekend, my ballerina heart strings were pulled tight.

...and I may or may not have come home, put on my old pointe shoes, and just wore them around my house for a while. Can you blame me??

Alas, as a few years have passed, so have the times of grace and flexibility.

But, flexible or not, it didn't stop me from drooling over The Ballet Project on tumblr: it's a creative dance/ photography project set against NYC city scape and it's wonderful.
Check it.

Happiest of Tuesdays to ya, dudes!

Those photos are seriously amazing. I have always wanted to do some type of dance when i was younger but never got to do it because i always played sport. Your so lucky you use to do ballet, it looks so hard to do.
