newyorketc:

I talked to Michaela DePrince on the subway yesterday. I recognized her but couldn’t remember her name (awkward), so I basically justed asked her if she was a ballerina and chatted a little from there.

She’s incredible. She was orphaned in Africa, was adopted by Americans, and is on her way to becoming and elite ballet dancer. Michaela’s one of the kids profiled in First Position, a new documentary I’ve heard great things about.

It’s a sign. I need more ballet in my life, stat.

Paralympics 100-metre final ‘going to be epic,’ Jerome Singleton says
Single amputee Jerome Singleton studied physics so he could learn how to master the use of his prosthetic leg, having been born without a fibula.

It was never a hindrance to the 26-year-old, who was, at one stage, in the top 100 American college football prospects, and is now among the quickest Paralympic sprinters on the planet.

Silver medallist in the 100 metres four years ago, this time around he will do battle against holder Oscar Pistorius, world record pacesetter Jonnie Peacock of Britain, compatriot Blake Leeper and Arnu Fourie. He expects big things.

“This is going to be some of the best amputee sprinting you’ve ever seen. Period.” (Getty Images)

100 Ideas That Changed Film

100 Ideas That Changed Film:

theloudestvoice:

“When a small handful of enthusiasts gathered at the first cinema show at the Grand Cafe in Paris on December 27, 1895, to celebrate early experimental film, they didn’t know that over the next century, their fringe fascination would carve its place in history as the “seventh art.” But how, exactly, did that happen? In 100 Ideas that Changed Film, Oxford Times film reviewer David Parkinson and publisher Laurence King — who brought us 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design and the epic Saul Bass monograph — offer a concise and intelligent chronicle of the most influential developments since the dawn of cinema.”

Joyce Bryant

With the perfect hourglass figure, backless dresses and silver tinted hair, jazz singer Joyce Bryant became known as “The Bronze Blonde Bombshell.” Although the Oakland, California native was raised in a strict Seventh Day Adventist home, she made her way to the stage in 1940. It was there she gained national and international acclaim for her earthy, sultry tone and figure flattering costumes. (It was rumored that Bryant’s dresses were so tight that she had to be carried off stage at the end of her performances.)

But Bryant’s sex appeal didn’t always work to her advantage; her records were often banned from radio waves for being too suggestive. Yet she maintained a significant following and the chocolate skinned diva was featured on several Jet covers throughout her career.

The signature silver hair came before she was to perform with famed dancer Josephine Baker. Bryant didn’t want to be outdone with one of Baker’s antics and dyed her hair with silver radiator paint. It wasn’t great for her hair but it worked wonders for her career.

In 1955, Bryant’s religious roots were tugging at her and she quit show business to attend Oakwood University, the historically black Seventh Day Adventist school in Huntsville Alabama. In the 1960s Bryant returned to the stage with a foreign touring company, where she sang on cruise ships, sans the tight dresses and silver hair.

With the exception of musical historian Jim Byers, tracking her down for his documentary in 2000, we know very little about Bryant’s later years.
