Eating disorders and body dismorphia are common problems in the dance world, so it is no wonder there has been such a public outcry when a New York Times critic called Jennifer Ringer, the dancer playing the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker, fat.

When you watch her interview and see her dance, you are going to think this guy is out of his f-ing mind. I would have wanted an apology, but that's me. If anything, Ringer is getting the last laugh.

I too would want an apology. She's clearly a talented, beautiful, well trained dancer. Is this something we need to focus on? I agree with someone who posted about judging the dance, the craft..not the bodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with some people?
I read about this. What a freak this guy must be. First of all, he has no right to even say that. Second of all, fat?! What a joke!! UGH, people like him make me sick to my stomach.
ReplyDeleteI hate this society where too thin is the goal. It seriously drives me crazy. That NY times critic deserves to be RAKED over the coals. Stars, dancers, teens, women MY age...all battle with this stick thin image that is held up as what we should look like...I want curves, I want muscles, when did skin and bones become sexy? ok, rant over ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous. Just like I was the fat gymnast at 5'3" and 115 lbs (and 9% body fat). People are insane.
