Seriously, WTF does that mean?? Is that some sort of euphemism?

Ballet shoes. It's ballet shoes.

I always took it to mean that she sweated so much under the hot lights that she had to throw her clothes out after each week. Remember in the early 1990's when she was in trouble with the IRS? She claimed $85,000.00 worth of leotards ruined on the stage in one tour.

I believe that was just to save from paying any taxes. Stars do that all the time (or try to) with deductions etc. I don't believe she'd ever throw anything out.

lol!! Knowing Stevie, she probably DID pay about $1,000/pair, and had to throw out 85 pairs!!! That seems like a very Nicksian thing to do!

Ballet shoes don't hold up very well---it's a major expense for ballet companies.

As an ex dancer, I can verify this statement. They are beautifully made but not durable in the least... especially if you're dancing every day like most serious dancers do.

Am I the one person who understood this line the first time I heard it?? Ha.

I think she's referring to her HP deskjet with custom-made ink cartridges.

And I don't think they even want to try to extend worn ones, because they don't help the performance and cause safety risks.
