They put fluoride in our drinking water, and orthodontics aren't that expensive. (Volume, volume, volume!)
As for the choreography, I'm not entirely sure. It certainly sounds boring to me, almost as boring as when you go see some modern dance and realize no one has had an interesting idea since it started, except the people who are really way out there-but that stuff doesn't seem to have cycled back into the mainstream.
They keep debating it over here but the anti-fluoride mob have won the day to-date. It was going to cost me $3,500 to straighten my teeth and I'm sure you can feed an entire small African nation for that. Needless to say, they're still crooked.
And don't get me started on modern dance! I totally agree about the lack of original ideas...
You know, too large and perfectly straight and toilet-bowel white?
American obsession with orthodontics. (I had forgot about the fluoride. Of course, it only helps if you haven’t exposed your teeth to large amounts of tea and coffee over the course of your life. If you have, then you use use whitening toothpastes, strips, gels, and other forms of bleaching.)
Why do American choreographers keep choreographing the same ballet?
Because their brains live in mental museums, nothing new can happen.
Which brings me to something slightly OT but have you seen Center Stage?
And what is wrong with a tutu, a tiara, pink satin pointe shoes and a bit of Tchaikovsky anyway?!
Er it’s probably because its (a.) been done and (b.) we’ve all (er, all of us who took ballet) being wearing that since age five and wanted a change? Though I can definitely see a case for putting on the whole ensemble every once in a while.
