"Anna Pavlova’s feet were famously arched and tapered, yet her shoes have much less pronounced blocks for the toes than any modern ballerina would employ. She was the most world-renowned ballerina with the most world-renowned feet — but her shoes make us marvel at the strength those slender feet must have had. (This pair is thought to have been made in the 1920s, a decade when she traveled the globe.) They also have a remarkable amount of side stitching. We can only speculate what support this gave her."

I imagined her as permanently shod in her sugar-icing pink frock and pink satin ballet shoes.

Чарли Чаплин и Анна Павлова

1922 год. Встреча двух гениальных людей - актера и режиссёра Чарли Чаплина и балерины Анны Павловой. Утверждают, что Чарли всю жизнь был влюблён в Анну, хотя и пережил ее больше, чем на 40 лет. Тогда он ей сказал :»Мы похожи с вами, Анна! Я – бродяга, вы – сильфида. Кому мы нужны? Вот нас и гонят...»

Был ли у них роман?

Конечно, чаплиноведы и павлововеды могут, наверное, ответить на этот вопрос, но случайные люди так не сидят - посмотрите на левую руку Чарли, которая переплетена с правой рукой Анны.

No one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent; work transforms talent into genius.

I am haunted by the need to dance. It is the purest expression of every emotion, earthly and spiritual. It is happiness.

asteroid Annapavlova (3055) in your astrology natal chart

By : Brielledoesastrology (tumblr)

Asteroid AnnaPavlova code number : 3055

The asteroid "Annapavlova" (3055) is named after the ballerina Anna Pavlova. She was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev.

Pavlova is most recognized for her creation of the role of The Dying Swan and, with her own company, became the first ballerina to tour around the world, including performances in South America, India and Australia.

Pavlova is also credited for creating the modern-day pointe shoe, with a hard shank and a sole that curves around the foot which provides the dancer more support.

Anna Pavlova was one of the most famous ballerinas of all time. Dance was her vocation and no other dancer in the days before air travel toured so widely.

In astrology the asteroid Annapavlova (3055) could represent : where u r extremely passionate in ballet or any other type of dance, where ur ballet or other type of dance is considered "great" by people, where u could be very famous or influential because of ur ballet or any other type of dance style u do.

[ Warning : i consider this asteroid as prominent and brings the most effect if it conjuncts ur personal planets (sun,moon,venus,mercury,mars) and if it conjuncts ur personal points (ac,dc,ic,mc), i use 0 - 2.5 orbs (for conjunctions). For sextile, trine, opposite and square aspects to asteroids i usually use 0 - 2 orbs. Yes tight conjunctions of planet / personal points to asteroids tends to give the most effect, but other aspects (sextile,trine,square,opposite, etc) still exist, even they produce effects .]

Examples of famous people that have the asteroid "AnnaPavlova" (3055) prominent in their astrology natal chart :

- Michael Jackson have the asteroid Annapavlova (3055) conjunct his ic at an exact 0 orb.

Michael was inspired by James brown and Fred Astaire. Michael taught himself by practising hard every day for hours since the age of 4. Born a dancer, always a dancer.

#anna pavlova #ballet #i love reading about people from history who make these ridiculously prescient claims of greatness #and everyone around them at the time is just like 'sure! whatever!' #but then they actually DO IT #😱 #i live for that shit #there's a letter from fitzgerald where he says 'i shall write a novel better than any novel ever written in america'...and he DID THAT #don't you just love it! #i feel like some of our greatest artists (pavlova and fitzgerald being prime examples) almost HAD to be these crazy dreamers #because there was literally no one else who was going to do it for them #look at anna! her mom takes her to see sleeping beauty and anna's like 'mom i'm going to be the best ballerina who ever lived!' #and her mom is like 'we are literally living below the poverty line and you've never so much as twirled but OKAY!' #she probably thought anna would forget about it in a week #arrested development narrator: 'anna did not forget about it in a week.' #🩰💗
