I'm usually sporting one or two bruises from running into doorways, tripping over unreasonably placed objects (such as my own feet), and banging into furniture corners. I'm not terribly clutzy per se, although there's probably some clutziness in there, too. But mostly I'm not paying attention. I'll be in a conversation, or off in some mental gerrymander, and *bang* reality will remind me that physics does not make exceptions for me.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

ita, those people are crackheads. They said Miss Congeniality 2 is inessential!?! It is on my must-see list and I am right.

If I only had a brain...

It totally should, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No! You start making exceptions, and where does it end? Chaos, I tell you, chaos.

I've always thought so. Maybe there's a place where I can fill out some paperwork, get an exemption.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
When skirts disappeared from bathing suits, they disappeared from some ballet costumes.
This was my thinking. Also, hips are like the rebar of the body, right? If I am looking at the body, I like to see how its structure all works together, not just the finials and wingdings and jazz hands. You know?
But my classmate argued that there were aesthetic reasons to hide the hips, not just modesty ones.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus if you hide the hips? easier to also hide the hip flask.

Are (were?) female ballet dancers supposed to look like structure and mechanics? While it's obviously an athletic pursuit, I can see as dressing it as one may be completely irrelevant.

Vertical. Except you must be extra careful that the flask doesn't tumble out at awkward times while sitting.
