Misty Copeland you beautiful dancer

[malaise]

You did not have the wrong body - you are a black woman and they knew they couldn't say that.

Now shove Swan Lake in their faces.

1. I would agree she does not have the wrong body.

And to boot she seems like a sincere, nice person.

I'm happily married but I have to say hubba hubba.

EOM

2. K&R

It is unlawful that I am not allowed to kick and recommend this a million times.

I protest!

3. Here is the actual viral video of her ad...

and it's almost up to 5 million views at YouTube since it was posted on Jul 30, 2014.

Let's all watch it and get her numbers even higher!

Go Misty!

[malaise]

5. Yes indeed

Sometimes rejection facilitates determination and if you're good enough you'll make it.
Saw this story on ABC news.

11. I loved that ad.

Under Armor broke away from their usual use of some type of sport's theme or athlete. I thought Copeland and the ad were arresting.
I also loved the slogan.

13. Good to see you sis

How are those two lil troublesome kitties?

[Are_grits_groceries]

16. Up to no good as I post.

'No' is not a word in their hearing range, but I knew that about kittehs.
I've pretty much arranged stuff so that they can knock it down or off something, but no real harm. I'm sure they are looking for something to really damage.
The tv is of much less interest now that I ignore them.
