I already have a crush on her: She's 6'1, genderqueer, bawdy humor and also touched my butt a lot

I mean, how could you not?

She is gonna snap you like a twig, baby. Hang on to your butt.

Scroll down and check out her pic and bio, Rachael "Rae" Gray: [link]

"Rae is a queer, burlesque-performing, Pilates glamazon whose hairstyle is known to change a little too often. Her life revolved around shoe design and costuming until she suddenly collapsed, having dislocated her hips, SI, sacrum, tailbone, and lumbar spine all at once. That was when she learned she was hypermobile, just shy of an Ehlers Danlos diagnosis. After years of living with pain so severe she could barely walk, she found that Pilates was the key to healing her body and getting her life back."

I am in Boston taking Dylan to an admitted students weekend at Emerson

Aww! I almost went to Emerson!! (BU gave me more money.)

My only hope right now is that his super rich backers will smack him with a 2x4 to knock some sense into him.

I thought for a second you were talking about what it would take for B to retire...

Yay for crosswordistas! Please post about it whenever it is convenient to do so!

You left out this part: "One session is all it takes to see why her clients gave her the nickname 'The Pilates Domme' ”. She is totally going to snap you like a twig. Or bend you in half. (Or both; I don't know a lot about pilates.)

Yes, this! I'm excited for you guys!

She wanted to test my hip rotation and flexibility and why I had trouble crossing my right leg in a figure-4 shape. So she stood on the end of the bench (towering over me), put both of my feet on her thighs, then crossed my leg over and then pressed in with all her strength until my hip slowly opened. (She's studied kinesiology so this was all very careful and calculated).

So, yes, she was kind of bending me in half.

Also, I was on the Cadillac, which is a bench with a high metal framework all around (not unlike a bondage sling frame), and wanted get better access on one side, so she braced herself against the wall, placed her feet against the bench and pushed the whole frame with me on it over about 6 inches.

My right leg doesn't like to do that, either! Because my hip is a jerk. But I'm not sure I want to be bent in half, even by a genderqueer Pilates Amazon, to fix it.

Yeah, you do! Your pain tolerance is already higher than mine.

Your pain tolerance is already higher than mine.

That's just situational, though. I think Pilates would make me cry.
