I saw Nureyev in an airport in Rome one time. He was stunning - even in clothes.
gosh, he was perfection. he had the most beautiful nostrils in the world. slightly flared. he looked like one of the gods!
I always remember seeing a photograph of him lounging barefoot. He had the most amazingly muscular toes. Really.
1961? I guess that makes wanting to get up closer and even more personal with the Rudolph a faint possibility.
Thanks for the tease:-)
He was the most PERFECT specimen of a human being bar none.
Oh my! Immediately reminded me of The Joy of Sex. My mother used to hide it under her bed. That's where you could find me most days.
