The Way Things Ought to Be

We need more old-school-frumpy condescending arts reviewers like Gia Kourlas:

When the Barnard College department of dance puts on a show, the results aren’t always pretty because the dancers aren’t always, to put it kindly, in the best shape. Aspiring performers need only audition, and when the pickings are slim, everybody seems to get in. But at Barnard Dances at Miller, seen Friday night, the standard deer-in-the-headlights incidents were blessedly few.

That’s what I’m talking about!
