@Bairindo 2 года назад

I loved the dichotomies of: -Drag: expressive clothing, brighter/colorful/taller/luxurious space -Non-drag: monotone clothing, darker/single light/monotone/shorter/industrial space Like, we can make simpler assumptions of what the meaning of this is. But it can also mean so many other things, which makes it artistically really beautiful!

Alot of people don't realize how incredibly strong you have to be in ballet. Not only strong but graceful and agile all at the same time. And Lady Camden is all of the above and just beautiful too. If Willow Pill doesn't win I hope that then it will be Lady Camden. They are both so awesome in very different ways. 👍💯✌🇨🇦😎🇺🇦

This actually made me tear up. The narrative, the ballet, the choreography and the music. Everything just came together with a beautiful explanation for the love of dance and its connection to Rex Wheeler...Lady Camden. You give people a sense hope and understanding by simply being you. New change, never stop. Continue to share your light with the world.

@giggles7179 2 года назад

That small moment at 2:24 when her partner lifts her just the smallest amount so her toes just barely brush the floor. That's the romantic moment every queen dreams of. They may not be aware of it - or even remember it - but seeing it, their breath catches but for a moment and a tear may collect on their waterline. Just to know there's somebody that can lift you up and catch you. That's beauty.

Her runway was graceful and elegant as always. I just wish she had thrown in one or two classical ballet spins to really wow the judges. Maybe not possible in heals? At least she was safe to slay another day. This was beautiful.

@user-nw5fh4fi5w 2 года назад

yea you can’t do turns in heals since it involves coming up and down on the ball of your feet

@nousername6911 2 года назад

I think she was surprised when the judges praised her look. Maybe she thought the ballet thing was redundant and michelle would ask her to show versatility, that’s why she didn’t want to highlight it even more. Or maybe i’m reading too much into it 😅

@irisbjones 2 года назад

agree. the feet of any dancer completes the line and the heels just inhibited the movement. Would have loved if the costume part was exactly the same but in ballet slippers instead of heals. but still such a lovely film and very well danced by both. bravo.

@nataliedahling 2 года назад

Absolutely breathtaking

@margauxf4321 2 года назад

@@irisbjones Absolutely agree. I didn't even need a pointe shoe, as would be customary with the costuming... A slipper, or even nude/pink sparkly ballroom shoes that are split sole and meant to point. When she points in those pleather heels, it looks like the shoe is going to come off/doesn't fit/frog feet... It's so distracting from such a beautiful story and the otherwise gorgeous costuming, lighting, and set. Besides the shoes and close-up shots of the power outlets, you really feel like a part of her fantasy living her best life in that era.

This is beautiful, but the fact that those heels are stopping him from pointing his toes, it’s killing me. Has has such lovely lines aside from the shoes forcing his feet into that awkward position. In any case, the athletic gifts of male-male partnering opens up so many possibilities as far as choreography goes. I love seeing it explored like this.
