In case you missed it, reality TV princess and runway superstar Kendall Jenner is currently gracing the cover of Vogue Spain (we’d completely forgive you for missing it, this not being Spain and all) and people are not happy about it at all.
The ballet-themed feature shoot sees Jenner wearing slippers, tutus and leg warmers, using a ballet barre and generally posing up a storm for the camera.

Given that she's not a trained professional, the ballerinas of the world have not taken kindly to the shoot, with many dancers sharing their feelings about the feature on social media.

I don't care about the wellbeing of Kendall's ankles. She's got a lot of her weight on the barre in that photo so I think the risk to her is pretty low.
My bigger concern is that not standing en pointe properly (unbroken shoes, not over the box) just looks fugly and stupid. Same will her prancing about in the video with no effort to point her toes (even in regular ballet slippers). It's just ugly and it distracts from the fashion.
Yet still no one has picked up she is playing the piano with her feet.
Yeah, where's the outrage from pianists?!
