This whole weekend has been the worst I’ve had so far in Montreal. I’ve been dealing with a toothache all day today and yesterday. Sucks that I don’t have dental insurance here. I’ve been taking Advil and putting Orajel on my gums. It helps but it doesn’t take all the pain away. I’ve been in bed most of the day. So now i’m up like an insomniac trying to find things to do. Laying down adds a headache to my tooth dilemma. I thought it would be a good idea to post something on here. And so here it is…

So, for our new creation “Suite Cruelles” our director has decided to put me on pointe shoes! I tried my old ones at home and they still fit. I’ve been wearing them for rehearsals but they hurt so much! I have much respect for you girls! She’s also put me and the other guys on heels! That’s right, high heeled shoes… well, I guess more character shoes. The process has been really rewarding. I can’t wait to perform it on stage. The whole company is excited. I hope some of you can and will consider to come up to this beautiful city of MONTREAL. IT ISN’T THAT FAR AWAY! And, its good to see something besides NYC performances!

Anyway, here’s a picture.

Pointe shoe pads have really improved in the past few years - might help with the old shoes!

I hope the toothache gets better!
How/why did you have pointe shoes before this ballet? Is that common for men to have them? How hard is it for men to find them? I have seen the Trocks, so I know it’s done, but I didn’t know anyone else really did it… I must say, you look great en pointe!
