hi pediatrapaola - i'm really aware too of lifar's limitations - but was happy to upload this bit of film because of the glorious 'Black Pearl' - hope it can compensate for having to watch her partner, best, nick

@pediatrapaola JOKE APART IS A FACT THAT LIFAR LITTERALY CREATED THE GREATNESS OF PARIS OPERA ,SO WAS PROBABILY A MUCH BETTER TEACHER THAN DANCER ,AND IS NOT SO UNUSUAL THAT GREAT TEACHERS OR COREOGRAPHER WERE NOT PARTICULARY GOOD DANCERS ,AND IS ALSO A FACT THAT AS DANCER HE IS OVERRATED BUT DESPITE THIS PARIS OPERA GIVES A LOT TO HIM .TAMARA IS A SEX SIMBOL WITHOUT TIME,LOVE HER .

hi pediatrapaola - that is true about his contribution to the paris - it reminds me of the contribution nureyev tried to make and how frustrated he was fighting the entrenched bureaucracy - though of course he was not easy himself

hi pediatrapaola - i forgot - tamara was extraordinarily beautiful - no wonder she was taken up in holluwood - she fitted the mould so well
