Goodbye!

I've had this blog for years and years, and I've grown tired of it. I'm not as interested in ballet as I used to be and many of my favourite ballet tumblrs have stopped updating. This blog will not be deleted, but it will be inactive. I have two other blogs if you're interested:

mylittlegoldenbook.tumblr.com (main blog)

daintyblackdollies.tumblr.com (side blog, sporadically updated)

Thank you, everyone!
