Took the kidlet to see the Nutcracker tonight. It's been many, many years since I saw a ballet, and the last time I saw one, I was definitely not as attuned to male beauty as I am now.
The guy who played the Nutcracker had a Fraserish vibe to him -- I think any dark-haired Anglo guy would have, what with the quasi-military uniform and the ballet posture. He had the most beautiful lower body I have ever seen on a man. He looked like he could have cracked nuts with his thighs.
They had a very good-looking man playing Drosselmeyer, too. I am absolutely not the kind of person who would have spent a good portion of the ballet wracking her brains to figure out whether the story could be made to support Drosselmeyer/Nutcracker. Nope. No way.
After a bit, I leaned over and whispered to the spouse, "I don't know what the rest of y'all are applauding for, but I'm applauding for the Nutcracker's butt."
