The Most Perfect Ballerina. Ever.


Red Writing Hood
Physical beauty.

It can open doors - and can also shut them.

Write a scene in which a physically beautiful character is somehow impacted by that trait. If you are doing non-fiction, you can write about yourself or someone you know.

Come back and link up here Friday. Word limit is 600.




She was so excited when she first met me. We were both shiny and brand new. She was all rosy pink and chubby cheeked and I was smooth and satiny, my ribbons perfectly trimmed and glossy. 

The moment she slipped me on her feet I could tell that she felt like the prettiest girl in the world. The most perfect ballerina ever.

This was my happy ending ( Red Writing Hood )

Edit : I realised that having a standalone page wasn't the brightest idea I've had ever since once I upload a new story next week....yes I think I will be doing this again ( even though this was one of the most nerve shattering things I've done in a long time - much much harder than singing or teaching or talking in front of people or saying no to buying a really cute pair of shoes....lol )....all the lovely, wonderful comments that have appeared in my feed this morning will either not make any sense or will have to go. Sob. So here it is. And for those of you who couldn't find it. Well here it is ! ;)

Red Writing Hood - Happy endings

This week's prompt asked you to spread a little joy.

You were to write a piece where you or your character overcame a challenge and, even if it's just for a moment, has a happy ending. We also asked you to surprise us - don't go with the obvious.


I knew from the start that we were destined to be together and despite the warnings from my family that she was young, that we were both too young, I couldn’t have stopped falling in love with her even if I tried. Not that I did try. At all. I just fell in feet first.  

And despite the way things have worked out since, I know she felt exactly the same way about me.

Wedding Shoes - um, not mine!

Since I am King Furniture 'Delta turned into a double bed' lounge bound due to an eeville migraine that had me reaching for the eletriptan's in the early hours of this morning ( why it doesn't occur to me earlier I just do not comprehend ! ) there will be no cute shoe stories to tell you, no trip trap trapping to exotic ordinary yet fun places or events.

I had planned to wear my Sogni di Giorgia navy lace up booties ( pics when I actually wear them ) to Church this morning but alas here I am still blobbing and blogging on my ridiculously comfy lounge.

So instead I'll let my favourite pair of red peep toe heels tell you a story....


I chose Vikki when she was searching on Ebay. I was a little confused at first because she was going under some slightly ridiculous alias, something about Twisties that were curry flavoured or something, anyway...I knew she and I were destined to meet because as soon as she saw me she heard me whisper her real name and placed a bid on me. Truth be told I was slightly put out by her maximum bid, I mean, who can put a price on such perfection ? But I liked her decisiveness and I decided then and there that she could purchase me for only.... ( actually a lady never reveals her worth..so we'll just leave it at that ) ;)
