My head was in Wiki to find out what The Streisand Effect was. It’s an intriguing topic. Not sure how I’m going to approach it yet, but at least now I have a basic understanding.

I did the same thing. I’d heard the phrase before but never knew the meaning.

[roina_arwen]

Right? The Barbra Streisand part was a given, but the rest eluded me.

Backwards in heels reminds me of music videos because good lord, dancing in heels is not for the weak ankled.

"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels."

[roina_arwen]

YES!

[xo_kizzy_xo]

Yep, she did! But she was the exception ;)

I love choreography so my favorite vintage (!) music videos are the dance ones. You notice some of them are wearing heels which omg, wtf are you doing dancing in those while everyone else wears flats... All I can think of was how loopy Paula Abdul was on American Idol and later on it came out that she was addicted to painkillers because of all the injuries she had because she danced in heels, both forward, backward, and sideways.

I have an idea already, though it might be stretching it a bit - I think it’ll work. Hopefully it’ll be cute and fun. I’m enjoying being a little more light-hearted this season - not good serious - and working on writing non-fiction again. It’s a recent story too, so I feel like I’m showing more of my current self and I missed doing that. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

[roina_arwen]

It totally makes sense! If I could think of an appropriate non fiction story, I’d happily go that route, but right now I think fiction is my path.

In a jar on my desk.

Haha, just kidding. I don't have a desk.

[tigrkittn]

Must be a big jar!

[hwango]

Biggest I could find! Still only room for one head, though.

[roina_arwen]

Hey, at least you’re the head of your class!

[bleodswean]

I got nuthin' for Streisand Effect. Or backfire trope, whatever. It's about a kind of duplicity and I struggle with that a bit.

Someone tell me what to write. LOL. Kidding, but not kidding.

I have a ZILLION ideas for women being great technical dancers!
