Wonderfully wading in the water...

Two blogs in two days? There must be something in the water. But I just had to tell you about Alvin Ailey which I saw at Sadler's Wells last night. OMG! They were outstanding... breathtaking even.

When I watch dance, waves of jealously begin to lap around me. I'm usually completely envious of the dancers' fit bodies (plus their technique and grace obviously). I feel like a proper fatty-boy-who-can't-breath-if-I-run-up-stairs, you get me? But with these, I was fixated by this amazing company. I was agog and aghast and utterly astonished at the brilliance of the dancers and the choreography - particularly the company's signature piece Revelations.

The most exciting thing about this company is that they're coming to Cardiff on the 12th and 13th October. Go and see them. I've been at quieter rock concerts - truthfully... and it's so accessible. Now I don't really like that word... so people who perhaps wouldn't consider going to see dance will really enjoy this, I'm sure of it.


On a very different note: Things the young and funky wear in London...

Skinny jeans (not with these thighs).
Non prescription glasses, any style.
The occasional non-season-specific hat.

I've got my wet-look leggings out ready. Hwyl.
