I can't imagine a guy with pink shoes on, but it sounds like an interesting sight. However, once you get past a certain age, guys need a dancebelt, regardless of how the leotard is worn. It's worn simply to keep your legs from clamping down on yourself. It's less uncomfortable with the thong up your butt than having pain in between your legs (and i'll leave it at that). The dancebelt is what ballet has for a jockstrap. [/i]
