“‘What color would you say this is?’ Lana asked, handing her the pump. ‘Not quite turquoise.’
‘Oh I’d say Bluebird. Very franco-russe, very Petipa.'”
Hehehehe, I’m really enjoying this novel, Women About Town, by dance critic, Vanity Fair contributing editor and novelist Laura Jacobs. One of the main characters, Lana obviously, is a dance critic, and it’s so fun reading about her world. At times kind of frighteningly competitive and at times sweet. Dance critics so live, breathe, sleep (and shop!) dance, sometimes more so I think even than the dancers… Anyway, can you imagine going shopping with your girlfriend and speaking about the clothing and colors in ballet terms? I love it — can totally see me and Ariel doing such a thing, when she moves to NY 🙂 Probably with us, it’d be more like, ‘whoa, that’s Tybalt yellow!’
Haha! I can totally see us doing that!
I can’t wait til you move here 🙂
Heehee. That’s a very funny exchange!
