The biggest shout out to her (and the others) for keeping her nerves after that because my stomach dropped to the floor as well and I wasn't even competing.
Wishing the happiest of Birthdays to this gem of a human. Who, if it wasn't for her outspokenness, her visible emotion on ice and her loving personality, I probably never would have known and who, unbeknownst to herself, pulled me out of a very dark place. Happy 27 Amber ❤️
Here's a reminder that the movie "Black Swan" is about how perfectionism, suppressed emotions, fear of failure, and the pressure to meet impossible expectations can contribute to psychological collapse. It is a horror movie with its horror deeply rooted in reality.
You have Amber looking all the spitting image of Natalie Portman's Odile and then you have Pasha, trying very hard not to smile at the fact that his partner just absolutely annihilated and ate up this dance.
The imagery of their starting position alone is breathtaking. She is wrapped around him like a vine, adapting the storyline of the Prince being led astray by the Black Swan Odile, in a Tango way. Identical to how perfectionism and obsession can twist their way around the mind.
