That first pair of heels (with the clear box and pink ribbons) are "ballerina" fetish shoes. And generally, they're not so much for just tooling around. More for fetish photo shoots, stage shows, or scenes where you're not really standing or walking much. Pretty much the whole point is how restrictive they are.

Skratch (for those who don't know) is an electrolyte drink mix- a lot like Nuun, Tailwind, etc. It's great for distance runners, cyclists, or anyone working out hard and long who needs to stay hydrated and fueled. If you have a long day in the studio or double shows, it's a great way to take care of yourself and improve your recovery rate.

@@evelyn_r Essentially. However, Gatorade and Powerade are primarily crafted to be tasty, colorful, and appealing to everyone- rather than healthy. Power/Gatorade are better than nothing if your electrolytes are depleted but they are not what I'd recommend as a first choice from a sports nutrition perspective due to high levels of additives meant to attract consumers (artificial flavors, dyes, brominated vegetable oil etc) and the fact that far superior products are out there.

A reminder to y'all that just because something was made for fetish doesn't mean everyone who wears it is engaging in fetish or that they are always fetish gear. Harnesses and collars were also originally fetish gear. But now they're staples in fashion of certain aesthetics that can be completely detached from fetish play. Someone wearing these shoes isn't inherently a fetishy act. Don't impose it on them if that isn't their intention. They can just be fashion items as well.

Those weird high-heel point shoe things, the ones that don't make sense...I saw a black pair quite like them in a bondage shop over a decade ago (I was there looking at goth-style clothing, lol). I commented that there was no way you could walk in them and the saleswoman said "they aren't for walking, they're for crawling". Well ok then. :p

The cat is the best boy/girl in the world. I'm sorry, but if that cat somehow does manage to dance this cat needs a world record and Oscar.

my fav part of these videos is showing them to my teacher and watching him laugh 💀

one thing in the "when ur asked to leave ballet class" clip that got lost in translation a little is the mention of the Country Road bag - Country Road is a clothing brand in Aus and NZ that every upper middle class white lady shops at, it's associated with Very Snooty people. they sell these big bags with the brand name on the side that every private school girly is obsessed with

I love how just almost no one notices how beautiful the pointe shop in the background of her vids is it is so pretty and Josephine should get a tattoo of a ballet dancer, a pile of pointe shoes, a pair of pointe shoes or a list of different things to keep ur pointe shoes alive

Her outfit is so cute and we need more TikTok reaction videos

When you said how ballet dancers walk into the store made me think about when my middle daughter took dance. I remember how she would walk. And then one time at church, one of the women was teaching and I could see her legs and feet underneath the table. She was standing in one of the positions…can’t remember which one. After I asked her if she was a dancer and she said yes and asked how I knew. Told her she was standing in that position. She hadn’t danced in years but it was still a habit.

6:06 Nah. When she goes and yells at the class next door for being disrespectful to their teacher and talking to much.

In my music school they taught us to slightly approach middle finger and thumb but keep the hand naturally.

Those 'pointe' shoes with the spike heels are fetish shoes in case no one else told you lol

7:19 i remember there was an episode on ANTM where they were "recreating" childhood photos for a shoot and one girl sent in a picture of her at a ballet class and she had to wear these exact type of shoes so she was en pointe in the photos but she really couldnt since she said the shoes were painful almost impossible to walk around in let alone model. it ended up with tyra and everybody else basically pressuring her to pull thru with it so much that she ended up crying because of those shoes.

3:04 This has me dying 😂 as someone who’s done double show days this is so accurate

7:28 those are Ballet Boots!! They're "fetish" but I think they're really cool looking and I've had an interest in them for years. I would actually LOVE to see your take on them as a pointe shoe seller and dancer.

the things on 8:09 or an art project on beauty standards. also the guy from the last tiktok has some talent.

The "Ballet heels" are usually sold as a shoe fetish thing, and no they are not made for walking in. They usually come with warning labels.

I have an answer for the "alien" one lol. It's an art project . We looked at it when talking about prosthetics or art that uses the body and how you can use these items to alter how the body works. In this case, it forces the wearer to stand and move in a specific way. I also believe there is a series by the same person of other shoes as well. Don't remember the artist's name though.

So glad you saw the kitty!

Skratch is an electrolyte mix, it's really good stuff. I use it for cycling, makes sense to have it backstage.

I used to run the snack bar at a fitness/dance studio. Spare time between customers I'd read all the ballet magazines, so while not a dancer I do get some of the humor here. Brings back some of the drama that I could laugh at, including the emotionally clueless "high prey drive" dance instructor.

The last one was priceless.

Your hair, it’s just something abt it you look so pretty 🫶

That last clip, dude definitely has potential!
