It's just one of the many funny weirdnesses<br>about ballet.<p>When I saw my first ballet as a teenager, I was horrified at the<br>way those parts that I thought should be discreetly tucked away<br>were allowed to protrude in such an embarrassing manner. But I was<br>young, prudish, & homophobic in those days. I got over it; you'll<br>get over it, too, in time. (And I should mention that some dancers<br>have not been above padding their dance belts in order to make it<br>look as if they had, well, more than they had.)<p>There was a riotously funny thread titled "Bulge" on the alt.arts.<br>ballet newsgroup a few years ago. The opening post read, <br><br>  : How come all the male ballet dancers seem to have huge bulges <br><br>  : in their crotches? I mean, do they stuff socks down there or <br><br>  : what? I've always wondered. <br><br>...& the merriment went on for about 66k of posts. If you can<br>retrieve it via Deja, you'll get a few laughs.<p>Tom Parsons<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.panix.com/~twp" target="_top">Tom's Page</a></ul><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
