Come on, vogue, let your (ballet) body move to the music!

Today I thought about my next post. Didn't have a clear idea what to write and didn't want to push it. I always enjoy flipping through photos, paper or digital ones, so just a moment ago google gave me an idea :) Typed in "vogue ballet" and saw some familiar pics, but also fabulous new acquaintances! I'm not a fashion geek, but it is a subject that regularly interests me, so here's the idea: a compilation of today's most fascinating finds. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so look through my eyes... :) (Sorry for So Many photos, but choosing was _difficult_.)
