Catwoman Anne

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, hubba-hubba.
How do women *do* that? I couldn't get my knee to my shoulder if you paid me a million, and I never could, even when I was young and slim.


Anne's producer said: "She did the most amazing stunt work. And she did it backwards and in high heels."

The above is a reference, "remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, and she did it backwards and in high heels."
Both of them pretty dang outstanding accomplishments.  I don't get how they even *walk* in stiletto heels, much less dance or kung-fu fight.

She talks about it, here.

The heels thing isn't that difficult...as long as the shoe is strapped on, tightly; it just becomes part of the person.

Those boots looked..."killer," if you'll excuse the expression; I haven't seen any of those movies (not interested) to know if that's a pun or not! lol!

But...yeah...the ODD "boots" that she wears for her Les Miserables premier are...not, imo.

Yeah, but they got her a *ton* of coverage! both from haters and lovers.

Indeed the Catwoman boots have a serrated edge on the heels! Nasty stuff. Fortunately the film, while showing her kicking a lot of dudes in the head, does not show how that would actually look with those heels, she'd be showered in blood.

Men don't have the hips for it maybe.

Do what? I am very inflexible, but I have no difficulties getting into that position.

I am surprised you can not get your knee to your shoulder. It must mean that you also can not tie your own shoe laces, which is a common problem for fatties, but rarely to those of normal weight.

Utthita parsvakonasana is a similar but more difficult posture, but even there I've never seen anyone who couldn't do it to at least some degree -- even without practicing.

I am a 51 year old male yoga teacher / practitioner. I often include this pose or variations of it in my classes and the majority of practiced students (both men and women) can easily do it. Newer students might have trouble, but a regular practice 2-3 (or more) times per week will open most hips over time. Not that yoga is about the poses ... it is a moving mediation to facilitate inner peace and quiet ... improved strength and flexibility is a nice added bonus.

You're not usually that much of an asshole. I've noticed stupid people like you often are very unpleasant, though.

You don't know me.

While I guess you could be a giant douche you usually restrain yourself on here.

I'm learning to allow my assholiness to come through.
