Vanessa Carlton Autographed Ballet Shoe & Harmonium CD

[amberbeads]

A brand new Freed pointe shoe? Not a pair of brand new Freed pointe shoes, but A pointe shoe? Not worn, signed by Vanessa. Hmmmm....

Checks shoe list.
Arials
Pavolvas
Special order Freeds
GM's
Chacotts

Uh, no. Nope. No need for A pointe shoe. Sorry. Not the 's' in the list.
I have my own pointe shoes! Used ones too. I don't need an unsentimental new one. A used one, maybe, cuz they tell tales. But new? Nah....

Wow... That was a bit hoity-toity.

Well, it's the truth! If she'd worn it, it'd be cool, cuz there's character in worn shoes. Every dancer knows that. A new one is so...stark. It has no tales to tell. That's why we wear them. We make them tell the tales. There's a certain magic in that.
It settles me to hear 'nessa's back into dance. Liking it again. On her own terms. That's always best.

lol I dunno, I'd want a slipper signed by Nessa just because it's Nessa. Plus dance is so important to her. But I didn't know about the character thing, seeing as I'm not a dancer :spin:

That description was so poetic and touching, I love it.
