Dancing and playing pretent. I have never taken a ballet class and these pointe shoes are a vintage flea market find. I imagine a famous Russian ballerina wore these years and years ago. I like to fantasize.
I have the utmost respect for real ballerinas, they are doing the hardest sport known to man and looking graceful while doing it. Even trying to stand up straight and going en pointe (which I obviously can’t do because I have zero training) hurts. But it is masochistic and beautiful to even try. If I ever break my ankle, it’s either due to this pretent play, or wearing the just as torturous Louboutin So Kates.
Fuck unicorns, we already have ballerinas in this world.
