A cute, subcultural bookworm who works at an eccentric used bookstore, who comes off as superficially grouchy but it's only because she's a fun-lover frustrated by her environment. And who reveals herself to be quite the dancer! Not all bookworms are introverted awkward nerds.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-46571786303142763222019-11-26T05:15:34.559-05:002019-11-26T05:15:34.559-05:00Musicals were more dance-centric during the Great ...Musicals were more dance-centric during the Great Compression. Wikipedia's history says little about dance being incorporated during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and only coming to the foreground during the 1920s, then peaking in the Postwar period. Still plenty of dance-y musicals into the '70s as well, like Chicago. But not so much after that, once the New Deal was over.<br /><br />So it was not just the demand for dancing that the audience themselves would participate in, but also for entertainment where they're just the passive spectators. Lots of Midcentury musical movies featured choreography, not just characters singing.<br /><br />I'm allergic to musicals, only have gotten dragged there every once in awhile by family. But maybe I was just seeing the neolib-era ones like Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis, etc. I do remember enjoying Chicago -- really stood out from the rest, especially for how much dancing there is.<br /><br />That was made back when choreographers weren't 100% gay -- nor were photographers, painters, or ballet dancers. The era of "gay men as the arbiters of taste" is the neolib shithole / bourgeois degeneracy era since the '80s in high / middlebrow culture.<br /><br />But I was under the impression that even the gays themselves prefer the older Golden Age musicals. I.e. they know they need to be saved from their own self-destructive behavior, and that heterosexuals need to be put back in control of cultural production?agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-83620923638981956082019-11-25T02:44:33.496-05:002019-11-25T02:44:33.496-05:00"No wonder the libs and leftoids hate her so ..."No wonder the libs and leftoids hate her so much -- I mean, she's just the female version of a jock!"<br /><br />Men?

(Her recent analysis of the professional-managerial class was at American Affairs, where Angela Nagle's "Left Case Against Open Borders" came out a year earlier.)<br /><br />When she still had an Instagram, I recall her posting a request for recommendations for dance studios to practice in, with an image of her in tights, a leotard, and pointe shoes, leaning against a barre.<br /><br />No wonder the libs and leftoids hate her so much -- I mean, she's just the female version of a jock!<br /><br />Kinesthetic / scientific socialism vs. cerebral / utopian socialism.<br /><br />BTW, another point in favor of her ethnic background being African. All the people saying she looks like an Arctic hunter-gatherer are ignoring that she's a corporeal dance machine, meaning those epicanthic folds are more likely linked to African background.<br /><br />In the post on the ethnic composition of the anti-woke left, I said that, while unique, she looks closest to an albino African (except for the dark hair).agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.com
