Day 71
Where: Home
Why dance?: Remember Day 43? Well, after Stephen scared the bejesus out of me by saying that holes in the toes of ballet shoes is a recipe for broken toes, I decided to go about getting new shoes. I asked the business director of the ballet school if she could pick some up in Bangkok when she was there, but instead, turns out she knows the people at the Bloch factory in Cambodia and wanted to learn how to make shoes, so with my size in mind, that's what she did! If you look on the tag you can see that lovely "Made in Cambodia" note.
Of course, part of a dancer's life is sewing the elastic on the shoes, pictured here -- and in the inset, the finished product!
