Salvador Dali "Where is the real? All appearance are deceitful, the visible surface is deceptive. I look at my hand...it is nerves, muscles, bones. Let us go deeper: it is molecules and acids. Further still: it is an impalpable waltz of electrons and neutrons. Further still: an immaterial nebula. Who can prove that my hand exists?"
So this is slightly different but we thought we'd touch on it a bit 🌪 air pollution is massive now and if we continue as we are then we'll be living in a world of absolute chaos in years to come. The main cause of air pollution is greenhouse gases and these are when we burns fossil fuels they basically get trapped in the air causing the world to warm, which is global warming. Global warming would lead to floods, tsunamis, so hot that crop would die out...and so much more! If you'd like to see us do more on air pollution and other types of pollution just leave a comment below! #climatechange
Alexandra Danilova passed away on July 13, 1997. Alexandra #Danilova, or #Choura, was born in Peterhorf, Russia on November 20th in 1903. She trained at the Imperial School of Ballet in St. Petersberg, Russia. After her graduation, she was asked to join the Corps de Ballet of the Soviet State Ballet at the #Maryinsky Theatre. Danilova left Russian with the Soviet State Dancers, a company formed by fellow dancer Vladimir #Dimitriev. During summer vacation from performances at the Maryinsky, the company toured Berlin, Germany and the dancers defected, never to return to Russia again. The company left Berlin, heading to London, where Danilova joined Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1924. When Danilova was asked to audition for #Diaghilev, she refused, telling him, "If I am good enough for the Maryinsky, then I am good enough for you." That same year, George #Balanchine joined Diaghilev's Ballets Russes as #choreographer. When Diaghilev died suddenly in 1929, his company was disbanded. Dancers were left to find other companies to dance for, but Danilova was 28 and considered too old for most companies. She was eventually offered a position with the new Col. de Basil's Ballet Russe , by her friend Leonide #Massine. Quickly, as one of the most popular #dancers of her time, many theatre's would not book Col. de Basil's Ballet Russe without Danilova! She danced with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo from 1938 - 1945 where she was often partnered by Freddie #Franklin. Danilova also guested with Sadler Wells in 1949, London Festival Ballet in 1952 and created her own "Great Moments of Ballet" tour dancing from 1954-1956. Her last #ballet performance was in 1957, but she appreared in a Broadway comedy/musical in 1958 called Oh, Captain!. She appeared in a single scene, a dance with the show's star, Tony Randall, which stole the show. Danilova was never good at handling her finances and found herself broke and unemployed again when ran into her friend George Balanchine on the streets of New York City in 1964. She told him of her plight and he instantly hired her to teach at the School of American Ballet. She remained with SAB until her retirement in 1989. #ballet
“#MyStory is about being 100 gazillion percent authentic.” —Sarah Jane Adams (@saramaijewels), antique jewelry dealer and model based in Sydney. “I don’t want to look young. I don’t want people to think, ‘Oh, she looks good for 65.’ I don’t care about that. I’ve always bucked the system. I don’t read magazines; I follow nobody. I just look at what’s out there in the world immediate to me. My hint to people is: Cut out the crap. Do your thing and follow your heart and don’t be frightened. Life is not a popularity contest. You’ve got to be popular with yourself. I think it’s a happy accident that mainstream fashion has discovered the look I’ve been doing my whole life. I have a lot of clothes I wore when I was 18, and I’m now 61. My clothing has to be very versatile — I’m always doing tomboy stuff, climbing and falling. If I want to do some gardening, I can do it in a ballgown.” Photo by @saramaijewels
