pollyls said:Yes, for Goddess' sake let's have the latest fluff, not recycled fluff from last year about (a) Irina's ill health, (b) Tanith & Ben not going to Olys, (c) Michelle and the basketball player, (d) shopping spree by Johnny Weir, (e) Michael Weiss' big house and cute family.
Since we may ask for, but are unlikely ever to get, more performances from skaters instead of fluff, let's have spanking new fluff. So to speak. About (a) Sasha's cooking classes, (b) Tim Goebel's world-class health care team, (c) Michelle's latest deep and cryptic thoughts about the Olympics, (d) the sisterly bond between Sarah & Emily Hughes. I'm sure we'll get plenty of injury reports on all the walking wounded.
Some stuff that isn't really so fluffy that might be cool to hear about (although I'd much rather see Takeshi Honda's and Emanuel Sandhu's free programs) might be (a) Michelle working with Tarasova, (b) Kimmie Meissner triple axel stuff, (c) how Angela Nikodinov is doing, (d) ditto Jenny Kirk.
Gosh, I'm so organized. :agree:

I'm sure the Fluff Scrammble is on for Campbell's and SA with MK's injury. I predict we will hear lots about that, but also some extra fluff pieces on Kimmy if the USFSA has anything to say about it. (which I'm quite sure they do)
Here's to some fresh fluff!

Well, at least there won't be the usual fluff piece with Michelle walking along the beach or thoughtfully sitting under a tree while her voice is heard in the background as a voiceover. (Geesh! Can't they think of something original already??)
What? No Michelle sitting pensively under a tree?RealtorGal said:Well, at least there won't be the usual fluff piece with Michelle walking along the beach or thoughtfully sitting under a tree while her voice is heard in the background as a voiceover.
With appropriate overacting of Anton Walbrook, natch. Actually, almost the whole cast. But then it wouldn't be "The Red Shoes," would it? Did you catch the Michael Powell retrospective on Turner Classic Movies not long ago? "The Red Shoes" is still the best dance film -- emphasis on film -- I've ever seen.Joesitz said:Rgirl - I was thinking more of Campbells than the Olys at this point, and MK is not skating.
I just got a rush that I was Lermontov announcing to the audience that Miss Page will not dance the Red Shoes tonight.
Off topic too, the thread is dead anyway.Rgirl said:With appropriate overacting of Anton Walbrook, natch. Actually, almost the whole cast. But then it wouldn't be "The Red Shoes," would it?

"The Radd Shoos!" I was wondering how to write Lermantov's accent, from wherever it may be. Ya nailed it!Joesitz said:Off topic too, the thread is dead anyway.
The Radd Shoos as Lermantov would say is a movie I've seen 40 times and like Gone With the Wind, if you are surfing the net and you hit upon it, and after saying you will never watch it again, you do!
