Ballet


Check out these crazy shoes by Alexander McQueen, he calls them Titanic Ballerina Pumps. I first saw them today on www.rachelzoe.com. They're like art-like futuristic robot ballet shoes (haha)! Did you do ballet or dance when you were a kid? I tried dance when I was 4 or 5 and HATED it, I am definitely NOT the graceful type. However I did like looking at Degas' ballerina paintings and sculptures at the Norton Simon Museum.
