On January 19, 2021, someone put that comment on Marie Chouinard’s”body remix” video which I posted in 2010. 
I want to date this guy.

I was a syndicated Dance Blogger for a while.  I was in the top ten and I knew this dance site never read my blog.   As Kritina Knief put it , I was a wisenheimer with more f-bombs in my mouth than teeth. 
Of course, I was (and am) very focused on Nijinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps choreography.  It was my only field of solid amateur-not-really-knowing-what-I-am-talking -about expertise..  And with all that going for me I went after the Rite of Spring choreographers full force.  Didn’t matter how much juice they had.  I just kicked the door in because a caustic asshole with little knowledge but a lot of Adderall will do those things.  Most of the time it turned out I was just kicking in bathrooom doors, but still.

(Uwe Sholz’  Rite of Spring)Uwe Scholz’ company wrote to me and asked that I take down a review of his garbage version of “Le Sacre du Printemps”. I said no. I would not.  Suddenly there was a blogger calling me a hack and a philistine and then BOOM.  My readers tripled.  And I learned what philistine meant and I agreed with them. So thanks German jerks.

(I can not believe this Kenneth Macmillan nightmare is still performed)
“Selling ballet one f-bomb at a time” is the truth and was my tagline forever.  It is who I am and what I have done. 
I think I am going to have to go back to my roots.

You see, I wanted people who were curious about dance but felt intimidated by  “real” dance websites to have a place to go.  A place to see some dance videos on a YouTube channel read the hilarious explanations that went along with them and talk about it and ask questions and inevitably  get to a blog post called “Fucking Russians”, 
I wanted to see what would happen if I wrote about dance in the tone of a belligerent bar whore being shut off .
I used some unorthodox methods here.
I posted Marie Chouinard’s “body remix -goldberg variations”  (which now has over 1 million views ffs) and this perverted shibari performance video right along side the 1987 Joffrey Le Sacre to see if the visiting perverts would be intrigued,  watch it and make a comment.  It didn’t matter what they said.

When a guy posts  “that lady at 4:22 is fucking gay” it means he watched at least 4 minutes of Nijinsky.  Probably NEEDED only 4 minutes of the other stuff. 
I reference that guy all the time.  And I get the same excitement today when someone comments and engages.  It happened this morning. The day before too., 
I ended up with over 8,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 2 million views of the 1987 Joffrey and over 1,000 comments with at least theree per week   See for yourself .  I got lucky with this blog, then I abandoned and my style as I began meeting/ engaging with the “real people” of  Nijinsky’s masterpiece.  
YES, I began the Sacre collections and no, ballerinas in Finland and Portugal don’t get the jokes here but they don’t read it anyway.  

I was in syndication as a dance writer because I swore a lot and lured people in with sex. Sex of the “chicks with polio and taped nipples “variety . 
And so it’s the kids who comment and end up here that fueled this ridiculous train. 
I hope they will take me back. Who is doing the most perverted choreography at the moment?  I need to post it next the Le Sacre du Printemps. Try and sell a bridge. 

I am like the PT Barnum of ballet:

“There is no such thing as bad publicity!”

I love you (don’t tell your husband),
