Yes, sorry, I do not seem to have any special knowledge or escape pod to offer the staffers at the magazine that was responsible for the ballerina cover photo. I thought that was somewhat over the top and thus I am completely at a loss to say anything about that. Certainly I had no connection whatsoever to those people or to the unfortunate Councilwoman who was lampooned in that silly way
As a child I owned a jewelry box with a little plastic ballerina that twirled around and around to the tune if wound up. But of course that has nothing whatsoever to do with what they did.
