    Radio City Rockettes--what is the big deal?

    What is the big deal w/ the Radio City Rockettes? I get that they can kick high enough to shoe my face. Why do some guys find that attractive?

    I think by the very nature of your question we can assume that some are leg men and some are not!

      Is there such a thing as a man who's not a leg man?

      Here are 14 reasons to like the Rockettes:

        That second photo isn't particularly flattering to those 4 gals. That or "legs" are WAY more important than "face" when getting hired.

        Interesting note from the rockettes wikipedia page:

        The Rockettes did not allow African-Americans into the dance line until 1987. The justification for the policy against hiring African-Americans was that they would distract from the consistent look of the dance group[

          I don't see anything wrong with the women in the second picture.

          As for the Rockettes part of the attraction besides them being, well, attractive is they have been around for 75 years. They are famous for the high kicks but I believe they do more than that.

            I agree. The Rockettes on TV this morning weren't particularly attractive women.

            Perhaps it is a HDTV thing.

              Now, if only the Rockettes looked like her:

                To be chosen as a Rockette, being an accomplished dancer is imperative. They are more than just high kickers.

                    That would be okay. And you know what? I'd not waste her time seeing if she can kick high enough to break my jaw.

                      eggzaktamundo! it's not easy to do what they do, and to do it all together, well, that just takes some talent. The fact that they're pretty easy on the eye is just a bonus!
