Let's talk about pointe, Baby

Ok, so people still ask me all the time when I’m going on pointe.
Which is annoying for reasons I’ve already explained involving arm fat.
Thing is, The Adult Beginner hasn’t daydreamed about pointe in a long time. Because the more I work on demi-pointe, the more I see that it’s really beautiful and valid in itself…
Reminds me of back when I was seventeen and was making out with A More Experienced Guy, and he said that making-out was more satisfying to him than sex.
The Whut you say?!
Serious Epiphany Bomb.
See, ’cause I had not yet been there/done that, and I’d been in the mindset that the make-outs were kinda like practice for The Big Show, you know, but then he was all like, ‘nope, I’m here for the make-outs. The make-outs are legit.’
Point is- demi-pointe, like making-out, is often seen as That Thing You Do Before You Do Better Things.
So, let’s talk about sex. I mean pointe. I mean the Salt&Peppa song, Let’s talk about sex.
Switch out the word sex for the word pointe:
Let’s talk about pointe, baby, let’s talk about you and me, let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be
Other songs work too:
Pointe is natural, pointe is good. Not everybody does it-but everybody should
That’s George Michael, I think, from the song, I Want Your Pointe.
Works the other way too:
Do a pointe related search and start substituting the word pointe with the word sex, and suddenly all these articles entitled, ‘Am I read for pointe? Am I too old for pointe? What can I do to prepare for pointe?’ with answers about making sure you’re mentally as well as physically ready for pointe become like a million times more hilarious.
