Thursday, September 18, 2003One of Russia's best-known ballerinas and post-Communist celebrities was fired today by the Bolshoi Theater after a war of insults over whether she was fit for a pas de deux. Theater officials are charging the ballerina, Anastasia Volochkova, with one of ballet's deadly sins: they say she has become too fat. How fat is she? She says she is in top form, weighing in at 109 pounds and following a strict diet. The Russian press has been reporting that the blonde ballerina, who has the looks of a fashion model and behaves like a star, is nearly 6 feet tall, making her even more unwieldy. Ms. Volochkova said she is 5 feet 7 inches. "She is a modern young woman; she wears heels," her publicist, Gela Naminova, said, explaining the discrepancy. Maybe she's understating her weight, but her pictures show she's far from fat. It's all in the eye of the beholder. posted by Sydney on 9/18/2003 11:16:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
