• Hope you like Time-Travel Romance and Transcendentalism. That’s right, Ida Celestia Pond could fill this entire page. Have you heard of the Pond-Duncan Love Letters? Now you have. (They even have their own Portmanteau Couple Name, Punkin. )
  • The textbook in which Ida slipped love notes to her love’s portrait, was purchased for her sixth grade by her father, Patrick Pond. The first note merely read “Dunkin your head in the toilet lol”. The last was “Dear Parents, YOU READ NOTHING. Except for ‘dunkin’ your head in the toilet lol’.” Vandalism was easier to explain than a twin flame.

• Flight of the Swan: Madame, a Russian Ballerina who finds herself and her troupe stranded in 1917 Puerto Rico, looks down on Duncan for the latter's improvisational dancing and her preference for dancing barefoot and half-naked (in Madame's view). In contrast, Madame views dancing en pointe as vital for spiritual transcendence. Which is ironic if you consider the views of a certain heiress to a transcendentalist dynasty……….(see above)

• Roger Ebert, in his review of The Incredibles, writing about Edna Mode's diatribe on Cape Snag:
  Capes can be as treacherous as Isadora Duncan's scarf, and if you don't know what happened to Isadora Duncan, Google the poor woman and shed a tear.
