51 Ballers and Ballerinas

From Viral Rapper Videographers to Badass Ballerinas

— October 21, 2009 — Fashion
The two worlds may seem very separate, but I would like to propose that they are more alike than anyone could have imagined. First of all, baller…BALLERina. Need I say more? Ok, maybe I do.

Ballers and ballerinas are very respected individuals. They rely on their extensive talents to reach such successful heights. At times, they can look fairly ridiculous (eccentric costumes, excessive bling), and sometimes they suffer setbacks (sprained ankles, overcharged egos). But mostly, these ballers and ballerinas are team players, looking out for their own in the game of life.
