Battered Feet

[Helene]

There have been many gruesome photos of ballerinas' feet. I still shiver when I see the young Darci Kistler's in Robert Tracy's book, "Balanchine's Ballerinas." It may be small comfort, but figure skating is an equal-opportunity torture chamber: here is a photo of Ice Dancer Dmitri Soloviev's feet while he breaks in new books boots, which skaters have to do at least once a season:

um would that be new BOOTS?

tho' the thought of a foot 'stretch/exercise' involving new book bindings has its intriguing aspects.

typos are somethings i often achieve, usually making other, actual words rather than just odd misspellings, thus making for a kind of unintended poetry in the end..
