Sadly, this is unrelated to twirling, but I just read your twitter about the eyelid swelling. I am also a redheaded, sensitive-skinned person who started developing seemingly random and rash-y allergies a couple of years ago. When my eyelid started to swell and I couldn’t figure it out, the doctor told me that it was blephargia. Which is eyelash dandruff. (pretty name, pretty condition!) She sort of chuckled at me and gave me a cream which I swear was vaseline. Please don’t judge me; I am only trying to help. I hope you don’t have eyelash dandruff, but given the allergies and such you’ve posted about lately, well, you might?

Oy, great list – although most are now hypotheticals for Bossy.

So much captured in so few words. Life does just seem to twirl by…

i have to do a twirl test, because thinking you’re okay and flashing the entire world because your dress spun up, THAT’s embarrassing. it’s worse when you’re dancing with your ex-bf and his new fiance sees your tush.

When I was a little girl, my dad used to twirl me once before bed. It was our ritual.

As a kid I always loved twirling but thought it was kind of gay…then I realized the dress I was wearing was the gay part, not the twirling…I still like twirling but now I do it with my kids so I have a reasonable excuse to be a grown man in my thirties acting dizzy and drunk-like….and twirling.

When I was ten, I took a crash course in baton twirling and performed in the local Canada day parade. I wore a red sequin leotard JUST LIKE THAT ONE. Can’t believe I’m admitting this on line.

My girls (7 and 10) are leaving the twirl behind. Sob. Maybe I need to bring it back for myself?
