A Dancer's Response To Kendall Jenner’s Ballet Photo Shoot

If you have kept up with the tabloids recently, you probably have come across pictures of Kendall Jenner attempting to do ballet. As a dancer myself, I have to agree that the dance portrayed in these photos was horrendous. However, to be fair, she is a model not a dancer—but seriously, does she really not understand the concept of turning out?


This poses an interesting question of whether or not Kendall was the right model for the job. I think the entire dance community is about to hate me right now, but yes, she was. I have always been a huge "America’s Next Top Model" fan and Tyra Banks, the ultimate supermodel herself, has explained that you do not need to be what you are modeling. Do you think every model in an ad or photo knows exactly what they are doing?

Does this model really know what it is like to be a vampire?

Or does this model know what it is like to be a bird? It could theoretically be an insulting photo to birds because no birds truly look like that.

Or does this redheaded fair skinned model know what it is like to be a mix of Malagasy and Japanese races? I'm sure this photo shoot gained some negative controversy.

Does this model know what it's really like to be the deadly sin of gluttony?


I think that while the photo definitely could have been executed better, Kendall Jenner portrayed the concept of dance, which is what she was getting paid for. She's not a world-class dancer and no one should expect that from her.

But next time, try to learn maybe one or two things about dance. Just a suggestion.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
