Tradeoffs

Well, Sasha, your tights were too dark tonight at the exhibition. But you actually looked like you were enjoying yourself, so I'm okay with it. If you keep up like this, I might actually start liking you. Especially cause you do look a lot like Rory, and who can hate Rory?

Dude. There's a fricking violinist on the ice with Plushenko. WTF? ...does his T-shirt have words written on it in rhinestones? (And gee, this music seems somewhat familiar...) Man, this exhibition performance of his was like a zillion times better than his actual long program.

Going back a bit earlier, I just love Evan Lysacek. Man alive, I adore that kid. He's just so much fun to watch.

Dear God in heaven, I am sick unto death of Biellmans. ENOUGH! It's a fricking exhibition, you don't need the points! Just do a pretty layback! Be different!

I really like Shizuka Arakawa's dress. Especially the color. Such a pretty blue.

I also find that she looks a bit like Christina Ricci. Wednesday Addams on ice!

Yeah, she kinda does. She's the love child of Christina Ricci and Alexis Bledel!

Ummm, I take the 5th? (I don't actually hate Rory, just don't particularly like her anymore.) Though I do agree that Sasha looks a lot like Rory, and I don't think that influences me one way or the other.

Hate *all* the catch foot positions, esp the Biellmans. Maybe Dick's rants on the subjects will make a few skaters back off.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

I really like the donut spins, as long as the skaters get into them nicely (ie, raising the foot and holding it rather than bending down, all ugly, to grab the foot). And I like the laybacks where they hold onto their skate, except those *inevitably* go to Biellmans these days so I'm starting to dread them. :(

It would take work for Shizuka to look bad, it really would.

Joining the Lysacek Love here. Forget Weir, I want more Evan! I just enjoy watching him skate.

I think we need to start a write-in campaign to the ISU--pass the "Button Rule" of one catchfoot/Bielmann position to a program, please! And how about a rule that one spin must be one position maintained throughout the spin, to be judged on correctness and speed?

Like, literally skating and playing the violin simultaneously? He should be shot.
