What's with the tutu?

Oh man. The Madogre made a crack about my "skirt". It's a tutu, George.
Maybe an explanation is in order lest someone think I have ballet skills and wants me to audition for the lead in "Giselle" or something. The whole thing could get quite embarassing.
Long, long ago, when I first started making knives and selling them on E(vil empire)-Bay and dreaming of the day when I could have my own website, I started shopping around other knife sites to see how they were put together. In short, I suffered some feelings of insecurity in the face of all the very polished "photos of the artist" pictures I ran across. With no real purpose to it other than a symbolic "me too", I came up with the tutu photo. I like it. It was even taken on a film camera, my old Canon FTbrick (for sale by the way) and colorized to look old-timey. And, I think you should all be pleased that I wasn't wearing tights, that my lunacy had some limits.
