Definition of Blister: a thin vesicle on the skin, containing watery matter or serum, from a burn or other injury.I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the blister, seeing as I haven't dedicated a post to them yet. Above is the dictionary definition of a blister (I'm into definitions right now lol). I have rewrote it into what I think is a more appropriate definition.
My Definition of Blister: an annoying, water-filled, bubble forming upon the skin of athletes, mainly dancers. They are quite painful, and particularly annoying when one is trying to pirouettes en pointe. The nasty little things always have a habit of cropping up at the worst possible moment, specifically on the first week back, or right before a large show. For years dancers have tried every kind of band-aid/blister block/ toe tape known to mankind to ease the pain of them, but alas, these dressings have an annoying pattern of falling off right in the middle of pieces. Blisters are in fact, the bane of the dancers existence.
I think my definition is more accurate. :)
Everyone gets blisters. It's an inevitable part of being a dancer. Being one myself I have gotten quite a few blisters in my time. I've gotten them all over my toes, on the sides of my feet (where the box/vamp on Freeds goes), a few in between my toes (those might of just been infected cuts :P), basically everywhere. I thought I had gotten blisters every place on my foot...I was wrong. I now have a massive blister on MY ARCH!!! WHO GETS A BLISTER ON THEIR ARCH?! It's so weird... I also got a few on the bottom of my heels. Yeah...I'm special like that. :P
So what's the weirdest place you've gotten a blister? Haha...you don't have to answer that...plus I may not want to know. :P See you guys in class!!!

Hah! I have yet to get a blister from pointe, but I don't doubt that they're in my near future! :-)
