Whether you’re doing steps, low-impact aerobics or a plié, where would you be without the latest design in leotards? (Sue....Grand Ple-YEA!)
The original leotard design was a skintight, one-piece garment with the lower portion resembling tights. On this day in 1859, the designer of the leotard, Jules Leotard, made his first public appearance as the world’s first flying trapeze artist.
Just 21 years old, Jules had been practicing since he was a little boy. He would swing from a trapeze hanging over the swimming pool in his father’s gymnasium. The years of practice paid off ... first as the daring young man on the flying trapeze ... and second as the designer of the leotard, still worn by acrobats, dancers and exercise enthusiasts throughout the world.
Lunge, up, over, down, tap...
Aren't you happy you know that now? So how do you commemorate Leotard day?
Oooh Oooh this is interesting! After playing forty years in BLUE jerseys, Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish wore brilliant GREEN jerseys and stockings for the first time, this day in 1927.

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone." -Henry David Thoreau (an old favorite of mine)
"A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure." - Henry David Thoreau
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."-Henry David Thoreau
