support fat girls who can’t afford expensive clothes. support fat girls who choose not to wear lots of makeup and wear skirts and lots of accessories. support fat girls who want to rock a t-shirt and jeans and sneakers or a sweatshirt and sweatpants. support fat girls who wear ties and sweaters and masculine-presenting clothes. we’re all gorgeous and beautiful and not everyone can afford a $100 dress and MAC makeup. some of us get by on $10 shirts and jeans and ELF cosmetics. it’s ok and we’re not lazy, we’re just as worthy as any other fat person.

- *me looking at pets foot*: Perfect. Such tiny delicate construction. This is the greatest foot I've ever seen, and you have 4 of them! Well done!
Congrats @michaeladeprince, we are so excited for you!! Repost: “I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to dance the principal role of Clara/Sugar Plum Fairy on December 28 and December 31 in the Dutch National Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. This calls to mind how much I longed to dance the role of Marie (the equivalent of the child, Clara, in the Balanchine Nutcracker) when I was a child, but it was believed by the artistic director in that U.S. company that the world wasn’t ready for a black Marie. Thank you Ted Brandsen, the artistic director of the Dutch National Ballet, and the ballet mistresses here, for believing that the world is ready for a black Clara. I am deeply honored that you have chosen me for this role. The dream and delight of The Nutcracker should be for children and adults of all colors and all lands. #nutcracker @nationaleoperaballet @oscarstarballet #michaeladeprince”
the best part of West Side Story is that all the fighting is just really intense ballet
Attention people who cosplay Pearl! (Or other ballet cosplays)
Please do NOT buy pointe shoes and use them for her cosplay unless you are a trained ballerina and have been given the okay by an instructor. It’s VERY dangerous. Without proper strength in your ankles you won’t be able to hold yourself up, you’ll likely end up snapping your ankles or causing permanent damage to your shins and/or knees. It will be incredibly painful as well, your toes will bleed and your ankles will be bruised by the end of the time. Medical risks aside, it is highly disrespectful to the community. We spend 3 years of training to get our pointe shoes, often longer if we aren’t strong enough by then. To be en pointe is a status sign that you’re a high level ballerina, so unless you are, don’t wear them.
However! You can buy split sole slippers and single sole slippers instead! They look very similar, won’t damage your feet and take no strength training to wear.
Here’s a discounted dance store for them (X)I recommend the Bloch leather flats with crossed elastics. They’re very comfortable and they have a fancier feel to them than canvas or single strap elastics. The canvas will hold up longer though. Also note the sizing is different than standard shoe sizing. A U.S. size 6 is equal to a 3.5. The shoes also take into account your width, measured A-D. To find your size click here! (X)
Happy safe cosplaying!
was this a passive way of saying “don’t wear ballerina shoes, that’s cultural appropriation!!”
because that’s exactly how it reads
No it was a ‘you’ll snap your ankle so don’t’ in addition to the fact you’ll be rude as hell to the people who have worked their asses off to achieve them. You don’t buy a trophy for a race you didn’t win, you don’t buy a gi and a black belt you didn’t earn, and you don’t put striped and stars on a uniform that you didn’t fight for. It’s really rude and disrespectful to the people who actually worked for it. It’s not culture appropriation, it’s safety and it’s respect.
No ones stopping anyone from buying pointe shoes and sickling like there’s no tomorrow. You want to risk your health and look bad at the same time? Go for it.
