tanith and ben picspam

[jaina]

I decided it was high time for a picspam of my very favorite ice dancers, Tanith and Ben. I basically just used stuff from the last three years because frankly, they've only gotten really hot in the last few years. They've always been amazing and adorable, but the hotness is recent. Maybe I'll do a bitty!Tanith and bitty!Ben picspam sometime later.

Anyway. A fair number of the pics are from nbcolympics.com; the rest are from googling around. Enjoy!

Let's start with the stuff we already know:

OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALISTS!


I so love this move.


Happy:


Awwww!


AWWWW!!!
.

Hells yeah:


Look at that strand of hair!


Hottttttt!


Pretty spin:


A job well done


Back to the compulsories!


Hair in the face, teehee


Here's Tanith's old dress for their flamenco free dance:


Doesn't Ben look hot in the simple black top?


This is their free dance from last year, a gypsy dance (not the musical Gypsy)


Bootcovers of hotness!


This is my favorite length for Ben's hair.


Look at all the pretty hair!


RAWR!


This is probably my favorite program of theirs.


World silver medalists!


Their original dance from that year, a foxtrot/quickstep:


They're just so damn cute!


Compulsories from last year, Midnight Blues:


Proving that sadly, even Ben can make bad fashion choices:


Two years back now, their free dance was West Side Story.


Gotta love a man in jeans:


*sniffle*


Their original dance from that year, swing rhythms:


I'm telling you, so. cute.


You want me to put my hands *where*?


So sweet:


And that's about it for this time. I leave you with one last picture-- Tanith gets her citizenship!

okay, I agree they're great, it's not that I don't love them, but they really do have the most .... frightening? costumes.
I mean, some rhinestones in her hair and it's straight out of Strictly Ballroom!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey. Their costumes are a model of taste and decorum compared to some of the other ice dancers out there. Have you watched your tapes of the ice dancing yet?

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

not yet...still on mens short program.

why do I get the feeling my eyes are going to bleed?

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Ze goggles, zey do nothing.

Two words: boob tassels.

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

aaaiiiighh! no... say it isn't so?

What happened to Torvill and Dean? They were ice dancers. They were classy.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Class and dignity got left back in 1984 with T&D. :(

(To actually answer your question, Dean does a lot of choreography work now. Not sure about Torvill.)

Ooohh, thanks for the great pics. Ben looks *much* better with facial hair, don't you think? And I agree that, compared to others, their outfits were the epitome of taste.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! OMG, he looks *fantastic* with the little goatee. Mmmmm.

[wesleyjenn.livejournal.com]

Maybe in a few years you'll get it up to half speed.

:) hehe

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

Lovely pics!! And that "Hair in the face" one is practically art...

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[donnafantastico.livejournal.com]

Tanith is SO beautiful, I can hardly stand it!! Io think Ben looks better with no facial hair and shorter hair. I love their costumes... I want nto be a skater just for the costumes alone!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

I know, she's just so gorgeous! I disagree on the Ben thing, but then I think he's pretty hot in any incarnation!

[julietvalcouer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that certainly is an...ah...interesting men's costume choice for the Midnight Blues. (My favorite favorite favorite compulsory I so can't wait until I'm good enough to do it.) I give them credit for not going for the obvious color choice for that dance, though!

Wow, Tanith has lost weight. And Ben's facial hair looks better this year than last year. He can definitely carry off the Latin look!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

I think Ben should always have a goatee. YUM.

[schneck128.livejournal.com]

the "Hells yeah" one: OMG HOT. *fans*

wowza.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

I know, isn't it unbelievable? I mean geez.

They look happy while dancing, which is a great boon for a performing couple. Thanks for sharing all the pretty.
