You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

I always thought that her tendency to walk as if always contemplating a skyscraper was a result of all those years of dance

I can't think of any other ballet dancers with a sway that severe, both in motion or repose.

I've never thought of her as pointy -- she's got long but blunt features to me.

Heidi Klum pregnant. I swear I saw a picture of her at the Emmys that was ... well, not with much roundure, considering she's a few days post partum.

Our wings are not tired.

Nagin has to err on the side of caution because he's already under a great deal of heat for letting anybody back in the city. He's in a tough spot with wanting to let people get on with the fixin' and having to fight the system.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

A few DAYS post partum and she went to the Emmys?!? Dayum. I still had a baby glued to my boob when I was a few days post partum.

Emmys. She gave birth while I was in Kenya, IIRC. But that picture isn't the one I'm thinking of.

I was going to ask if anyone had seen a Klum shot.

She has swayback? That picture is not flattering at all. Is there a cure for swayback?

Nope! You can do PT to make it less lamely obvious. And people will insist that it's a posture issue.

Hmm. Yep. Residual issues from ballet teacher making fun of me still intact.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

people will insist that it's a posture issue.

Guilty. That's why I asked. What kind of physical therapy?

Klum looks great. Of course, she picked the right kind of dress for a post partum figure.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just got a call to be on a reality show about event planning.

ahhh ha ha ha

I can barely remember. A lot of really annoying exercises that involved trying to (this is the visual they gave my six year old self) push your belly button through to the wall. The summer before middle school, I spent hours each night curling into a ball because I convinced myself that would help. Mostly it's just consciously trying to overcorrect for a spine that wants to be extra curvy.

I'm resigned to the C shape, but know I need to do something to try to prevent the worst of the lower back problems. Pregnancy was hell on it from day one, and I'm now constantly lifting an increasingly heavy weight in the form of the kid, and the last time I threw it out, I'd been wrangling her cousin.

I should ping my SiL and ask her what it was she suggested in the way of Pilates.
