If you have a problem with the forum, the simple solution would be to STOP VISITING and/or contributing...
But if of course you are here for the entertainment factor (and the occasional discussion of male dancewear - in the strictly non-fetish sense of course), by all means go ahead (it sure brightens up my day) :-)
On a slightly more serious level, I live in regional Australia (where there is a surprising abundance of dance schools) and am having trouble getting a new pair of ballet slippers.The store that I visited today has a very limited range in mens slippers - the extent being black canvas with a one-piece sole. But today they told me that I wouldn't be able to order ANYTHING for three weeks because not only is there a shortage of suitably sized male dancewear in my area (partly due to the lack of male dancers) but both Bloch and Capezio in Aus are 'closing down' for two weeks for stocktake.I was up for a new pair of Jazz boots as well, luckily they had a pair of 12 1/2 Bloch's in-store or else I would have come away totally empty-handed.
This has never happened to me before and I was wondering whether this is normal anywhere else in the world (or am I being screwed over).
