Beautiful. I don't see what would be disturbing?

What's that thing on her butt?

Jessica Clayton said...

The only thing disturbing about her is that she's an alien...

Anon, I don't know what you are referring to... Unless it's her tutu :)

Gina said...

Just the way her legs are so twisty-bendy... I even find it a little wierd, although I think it is gorgeous.

Gina said...

Agreed. How can I get citizenship on her planet? :)

She is long and thin, but very beautiful. I might have seen her a while ago in the HD production of the Bolshoi, but the photo makes me want to see her more. It is very expressive.

Beautiful. Until I look at her front foot and see that it doesn't seem to be doing anything I thought a human foot could do without being injured.

Gina said...

Exactly what I was getting at! I think she is one of those people with overly flexible ankles. I don't have that ability. I'd get injured :)

She's all over YouTube... I've been addicted to looking her up lately. She inspires me to streeeeetchh my legs more in every step I do.
