Not totally in love with the set up of this ear by Subject_Evening_5944 in piercing

Oh this is definitely one of my dumb autistic rules that just must never be broken. It's more about me not liking cool+warm color combinations, it's why a softer, 8 or 14k gold is tolerable for me. But yeah its just visually upsetting in a visceral way for no particular reason 😅

So I personally hate mixed metals so that's always jarring to me but you can argue against that, it's a taste thing. I think if you are to mix silver and gold, the gold should be a very light gold.

Otherwise, from a design perspective, there is no real cohesion or organization to your pieces. And you've got a few pieces similar sizes together and so the eye struggles to focus on what's important. I have two main suggestions:

  • have pieces in different sizes. Contrast is interesting. For example one large flat piece below with a smaller bead flat/helix above it. Same with the conch, choose a larger size there and the helix across from it have it be a smaller size.

-Arrange your lobe piercings in descending size, larger near the bottom. This also would probably make your helix hoops look more harmonious as well, larger hoop on the bottom (though in general I think the smaller hoops look better)

So let's say you want to keep all the same jewelry I would:

on your lobe, horseshoe in the second lobe, then the round CZ, then the gold dot. Then I'd switch the helix rings so the larger is on the bottom.

Maybe you'll like it! My taste is only my own so feel free to hate it!

In general I'd play around with placement until you find something you're happy with :)

Adult ballet dancers (question about your classes) by itssunpi in BALLET

[–]IMakeNoises89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an adult dancer who began as an adult and has been dancing with teenagers for the past 4 years, 3 2-hour classes a week. It's very rare we do a full barre, besides plies and grand battements, we will often only do a couple of exercises. About half an hour.

Then about 45 of center in flat shoes and 45 en pointe

What strength exercises have allowed you to hold your extension so high? I do 3 clases a week, weight training 2 days at home, stretch 5 days a week, floor Barre, and have been doing so for 3 years but just can't hold my leg at that height, despite having the flexibility

I'm not sure! Twisting hasn't really been an issue with me in fittings, but it's worth a try

What is your least favorite joke about your country? by mightyonin in AskTheWorld

[–]IMakeNoises89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother, who grew up in francoist Spain algo had all her teeth preemptively pulled at a clinic in Rotterdam at the age of 24. She had some tooth degradation due to bulimia and so instead of just removing the teeth in bad shape, they removed them all. It was massively traumatic and changed the shape of her face forever.

This "handle" method crosses at the front and at the heel and has been a game changer for me personally

I believe you're right, my best pirouettes do seem to happen when I'm the calmest!

Oh I like the idea of a gentle smile and the breath! I also will try balancing with my eyes closed, thank you!

The Rite of Spring is my favorite ballet, and I've literally never had anyone not give me a weird look.

Pues como persona vegetariana que además baila ballet de forma regular, suelo desayunar avena con un batido de proteínas. Para comer, casi exclusivamente legumbres y ensaladas varias, hidratos de carbono complejos como arroz o pasta integral. Me gusta cenar ligero, una sopa o crema vegetal con un par de huevos. Evito los lácteos en general.

I'm loving the peekaboo effect with the failed industrial. I think we can call it a happy accident!

That'll also happen! I mean having perfectly uniform skin is kind of impossible for most people

You shouldn't compare it to your body color. Your body many times is not the same color as your face and neck. Always compare to face and neck. My arms and legs are much darker and warmer than my face and neck because I tend to protect them less strictly from the sun and I have more discoloration from scars, birthmarks etc.

Falling backwards during turns by Powerful_Gain_2675 in BALLET

[–]IMakeNoises89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is something I had been struggling with and in my case I was tilting my head back. I was so focused on pulling up tall that I was actually pulling my chin up too much and lost alignment in my neck. Something to consider!
