Cira Robinson started “pancaking” her ballet shoes when she was 18: “I use foundation. The colour is Caribbean coffee – it’s basic cheap make-up, but it works. Pointe shoes come only in the traditional pink, unless they’re red for a show. It would look strange if there was a pink shoe at the end of a brown leg, so it helps with the line. My pointe shoes are brown because my skin is brown.
cute! i always wondered what chocolate girls do in these types of situations. the black and brown girls in my high school dance team wore those “nude” aka white girl color tights and it just made them look ashy and i always felt like an injustice was going on *___*
