There is, or was, a show called The Big Ballet that featured less than (more than?) slim persons. I have not seen it, only pictures from it, but I like the idea.
So, here is a piece inspired by the photos from the show. Consider it an homage to individuality.
Thank you, Ma’am. Well, I’d never call her thin, but she isn’t so outrageously overweight that I wouldn’t call her normal sized, either. If she’s doing ballet, she’s obviously got some muscle on her, so she’ll probably do! lol
Thank you! I’d love to see the ballet, for real instead of just bits and photos on the internet. Of course, I’d love to see any ballet, as I haven’t yet.

this is such a happy picture :-)
Yeah, it is! Thank you for noticing. I just read something today, in a book by Ngaio Marsh, that reminded me of this digital paintng and the Big Ballet, etc. I think the name of the book is ‘Spinsters in Peril’ but I am probably wrong. At any rate, one of the characters says something like “To be overweight is not to be inactive.” It’s funny how many people think it is that. I used to kick my bf’s butt when we’d run, even though he exercised all the time and took special supplements and etc. and there I was overweight and chronically ill. Neither one necessarily means weak or incapable.

Enough preaching.
Thank you! Enjoy your happiness!
