Secretly, when no one’s looking, I still practice my ballet
(Click for larger)
I was thinking of ways to use my new camera lens and remote control and somehow work in an element of too-much-information. I hope I’ve succeeded; I hope this hits the spot.
Just be grateful I didn’t take a photo of the floor in my bedroom…
As always, more TMI stories can be found over on Lilu’s blog.

What a beautiful, well turned out boy you are.. with such a fine turn out too!. Shame you can’t see the Legwarmers in this shot.. I know you are wearing them.
Hope you swept.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 amThose cracks in the floorboards were just big enough for the nails…
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:47 pmAnd yes… of course that’s my foot…!

October 22nd, 2009 at 4:20 pmHow did you take the picture?! Super flexible much?
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:22 pmI bought a remote for the camera…!
But yes, I am quite flexible
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:23 pmYou should send this in as a Post Secre–
Oh, wait.
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:36 pmOh my goodness that is awesome. I wish I could get up that high on point without point shoes.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:36 pmWhy secretly? Can you really point on that toe? Wow. I used to attend baroque dance classes in London a while ago, which is similar to ballet, and I enjoyed it so much!
Unfortunately I can´t practise at home – not enough room, I´m only getting bruises knocking boards, tables etc, haha.
I like your picture, but forgive me, I really distaste that nail cutting instrument, I get goose bumps when I even see it.
Have a good day, practising! And doing! Ballet! …. aaaaaand one,
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:20 pmI hope that someday when I have kids, they’re interested in dance. I don’t know if I ever was, because I was never given the option. I’m sure if someone had said “Jem, do you want to be a ballerina?” I would have said yes. But alas. Dancing didn’t exist in my world, and still doesn’t.
And I’m not going to rag on your for chewing your toenail clippings. I used to bite my toe nails. I’m pretty sure the only reason why I stopped is because I wasn’t able to reach my toes with my mouth anymore.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 pmThis TMI Thursday is a sneaky one with the label not being out in front.
And what is preventing you from ballet dancing in your own bedroom?
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 pmBaroque, Beep?! I had no idea… Perhaps there’s a bunch of guys out there that can all secretly dance. Perhaps they’re just waiting for someone to call them out of hiding — maybe I should be that man?!
Apologies for the nail clippers. I don’t actually eat or chew my nails — I really was just testing if it would ‘work’ as a photo. I had a friend that chewed his fingernails right down to the base — so there was only 2 or 3 millimetres left. It was sick. His fingers would curve backwards, up around the little nail stubs… ugh…
Nail-chewers are bad people…!
(But nose-picking is OK.)
Jaime — I can comfortably get both legs behind my head. I can get my toe into my mouth quite easily… but I’ve never actually bitten my nails. I’m not sure what the appeal would be — why did you do it?
Fun? Tasty snack?
Nico — well, my room’s a big pit full of books, computers and clothes. My sister moved out, so her room’s empty!
Aaaaaand two,
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:50 amNo, not tasty. lolz. Though that would be funnies.
I don’t know why, I just did it as a child.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 am1) Your feet are prettier than mine!
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:08 am2) When I chewed my toes as a child, it was because they made a fascinating squeaky noise. Not sure how I found that out originally….
Lovely pointe. Good articulation, high arch. I’m very impressed. They probably don’t make pointe shoes in your size, though, do they? A shame.
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:48 amNo, I’d probably have to get them handmade… by my father… as I have done for many years now. An expert cobbler if I ever did see one!
*wonders if his toes are squeaky. Only one way to find out*
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:27 pmadmit it, you’re not really on point, the other foot is on a chair out of site..your toes are too pretty to have been crushed
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:23 pmThere is no chair out of shot, sheesh! The room is completely empty, except for my camera on a stack of DVDs, me, and my toenails…!
I had no idea my toes were so pretty.
At this rate you guys are going to get a lot more photos of my feet…
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:42 pmwhatever
I usually HATE mens feet, all hairy and big toed but yourd are okay. I could live with those
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:43 pmI’m surprisingly unhairy actually — nothing on my back!
Leg hair, chest hair… but nothing too dark and scary.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:50 pmHm, that’s might’ve been a bit much, lol.
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:30 pmGah! I wish I could get that high on point with no shoes.
Also, I like to chew on my fingernail clippers. Not my toenails…though I do occasionally smell them.
October 24th, 2009 at 11:51 pmFor that kinda-sickly cheesy smell…? A bit like one sometimes smells their own farts…?
October 24th, 2009 at 11:54 pmExactly! I’m completely fascinated by the smell of cut toenails. Clearly, I am one sick puppy.
