Cracker

[resonant]

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."

"I don't know what the rest of y'all are applauding for, but I'm applauding for the Nutcracker's butt."

I haven't seen the Nutcracker in many, many years, and it wasn't a great rendition at all. Still, to make the time while away I was spending most of the time checking out the male dancers.

I don't know... I always find the way a male dancer's tights just mould over his crotch to be a little disturbing. Sure, I can't tear my eyes away, but I don't find it terribly sexy. It's too... in your face *g*. A little mystery, please!

That said, my favourite part of a man is the inside of his upper thigh-- that soft, almost hairless spot that's just visible when a guy runs past wearing skimpy jogging shorts. It's a tease, and it's sexier that way. Because if you caught the guy you could slip your hand under the hem of his shorts, but normally you just get a quick glimpse to excite the imagination *g*.

For some reason I am reminded of going to see Abelard & Heloise and being fascinated by the men's incredibly tight and revealing tights. I was about to say something when my friend, staring at Abelard's crotch, said, "What a place for him to keep his wallet."

Thanks for your refreshing take on that old chestnut, the Nutcracker.

Ah ... dancers. ::snerk:: I went through a phase when I had an unhealthy obsession with dancers, but often female dancers are just too thin... >>

And no, I have never seen Nutcracker. I really need to, one of these days.

Um, hi, I'm hoping that you have comments emailed because I didn't want to fill current posts and since this is a non-sequitor anyway, it would be less jarring here.

Cluegirl's for writers we read whatever the fandom, whatever the pairing, and then because she's brave and confident and has no problem whatsoever in leaping into someone's journal and nattering on, she's encouraging us to do the same and let you know that...well... I think you are nifty. I've never seen a single episode of due South, but I'd read all your other stories and so I threw myself in and ...um... right. I should have stopped at "I think you are nifty." huh? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cluegirl/437454.html?asking</a)

Aww! This is so sweet! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the stories.

Did I successfully pimp you into DS? The show is excellent and well worth your time. (And of course so is the slash.)
