    Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

    The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

    Which Heels Should I Wear For Which Federation?

    All Federations have their own specific rules when it comes to suitable footwear for the stage. Knowing what to wear and on what stage is a must. Not only could it affect your placing if you fail to adhere to the rules but it may also play havoc with your headspace and confidence knowing you’re the only one to turn up with the wrong pair of heels.

    When should I start practicing my posing?

    Posing for most is an after-thought when preparing for a competition. Most preps are consumed by weight-training, cardio, juggling family, friends, trying to function at work and making time for meal prep. Sadly posing is something that receives very little attention.
