I didn't realize that Lara Deans Lowe was you! I met cK and Erin at W. A. Frost while they were getting their cheese plate prior to dinner and cK said that that was you. Doh! (or, as you would say, guh).<BR/><BR/>So your name does sound familiar to me; I'll track you down via Google now that I know what the hell I'm doing.<BR/><BR/>Ain't it great I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night? *sigh*Hulleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936914788689260243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-56111589485187859842007-02-10T17:25:00.000-06:002007-02-10T17:25:00.000-06:00It's so fun to talk about dance!

And thanks for explaining about Greta, I was scratching my head over that one until your followup comment.<BR/><BR/>Isabel, my kiddle who got me interested in ballet, was a Heather Watts fan. And also had scoliosis, btw; it wasn't just big knockers that made her give up ballet.<BR/><BR/>Just in passing, Iz is into capoeira these days in Michigan. I can't wait to see her "perform," if that is what you call it.<BR/><BR/>I also googled LDL, but of course was at a loss after that since I don't know who you are. Lara's name seems familiar to me though.<BR/><BR/>I actually met Martine briefly when she was still dancing with ABT. The company was in Mpls for a performance and the whole ABT troupe came to Minnesota Dance Theater (MDT) to practice, which is where Isabel took ballet classes. They (ABT) were very nice to the students, which thrilled the students of course. And Martine was particularly nice to Isabel, chatting with her for a bit etc. etc. I was already in love with her at the time (as much as I could be being married to Isabel's mom, that is, but you know what I mean) so I just stammered and gee whizzed and stuff if I recall correctly. Sigh. I know she totally wants me. (Martine, not Isabel or, particularly, Carmen her mom).<BR/><BR/>I've only seen the Nutcracker in Mpls. but I saw it a lot -- every year MDT would put on a production involving the MDT pro's and students (Loyce Houlton, if you know of her) and Isabel would always be in it. I went to tons of rehearsals in my role of evil stepdad as well as performances. So I know it well. Unfortunately I never made it to Grand Forks for it.<BR/><BR/>I did see Giselle (the first ballet I ever saw and it remains my favorite) (I like the Willies or whatever the hell they're called! I want some!) in Prague, in the State Theater (?) where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni if I recall correctly. Beautiful setting, beautful ballet, I was by myself and chose that over the Clash and only regretted it a tiny bit, I wanted to do both. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>You rock. I hope Ray or whoever isn't too put out that I'm madly in love with you by now. If so, tell him I'm also madly in love with several hundred other women. But they pale compared to... I'll stop now. <BR/><BR/>Wow, might be my longest comment ever. If you want to chat more we should exchange emails. It takes me forever to find this blog entry. XO and glad you stop by.Hulleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936914788689260243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-46660633665672322752007-02-09T16:53:00.001-06:002007-02-09T16:53:00.001-06:00I meant great post - guh - you're like...who's Gre...I meant great post - guh - you're like...who's Greta?Lolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434675448319103586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-37098680564974683232007-02-09T16:53:00.000-06:002007-02-09T16:53:00.000-06:00a) John Cage is fantastic, though I love Philip Gl...a) John Cage is fantastic, though I love Philip Glass more.<BR/>2)Greta post - I want to hear more about your afinity to ballet<BR/>3) Martine? Divine. Heather Watts is my hero as she trumped her scoliosis as I feel I did mine.<BR/>4) I'm a little sad - I just google imaged myself and I am no longer of the web (I do however still appear with "Lara Deans Lowe" in the regular google).<BR/>5) Did you ever see the Nutcracker in Grand Forks, ND in the 90s? I was probably there. We did that gig a lot.Lolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434675448319103586noreply@blogger.com
