Simon & Frances in the Houston Chronicle

Here’s another sibling puff piece, this time from the Houston Chronicle, about Simon and Frances, and how stylin’ they are. There are two factual errors. First, they got married in 1997, not 1996. Second,

He caught the ballet bug when he was 9 from his younger sister, April Ball. (She’s now with the Monte-Carlo Ballet). “I was drawn to try to do something I could never perfect,” he says.

Lies! He did it to be surrounded by adoring girls! He’d probably tell you the same thing if you’re not a reporter. :)
Also, if you ever get a chance to see the ballet Onegin, do. If you ever get to see Simon doing Onegin, definitely do; he’s such a bastard it’s heart-wrenching.

    I will never forget Simon in the NYC toe-shoe trying-on boutique with two little ballerinas on each knee. He was maybe 13?

    He was 3 months older than you. (He still is, truth be told.) 13 sounds right. Damn.

    That must mean he’s going to turn 30 right…about…now! Please give him my most fondest wishes.

    I’m trying to reach an old friend who’s name is Sarah Braun. She graduated from Oakwood Friends School and would be about 30 years old. If this is you, write me back! If not, sorry for the intrusion! DB
