Plushenko will honour us with his presence in 2010!

[jennylovskt]

I feel confident I will never have to dye my hair blonde and wear such a ridiculous haircut. Not as long as "Birdman" Evan can lace up his skates

What a statement from a "Plushenko/non-Evan fan"!

[Tonichelle]

Thats the best description so far

thanks. I try.

After Rostel Cup I went out and bought a few hats and also a ski mask

I also visited a hair stylist and told her about the bet and showed her a picture of Plushy. After she stopped laughing at Plushy's picture she told me she could give me this hair style although she said it has been out of style for 20 years.

Plushy has its own collection

His hair style is even older... as a medieval romantic knight
So, dont laugh and "touch" his hair - his strength lies in its!

It says he will try 3ax-4toe and 4-4 combo in next week's competition....
.....
... Although in the above article this is his agent speaking, and not Plush...

I assume: IV stage of "Russian Cup" - Moscow 25-28.11...
GOOD LUCK PLUSHY! ... be careful, but jump to the clouds!

Ari is not only his "agent"...

Maybe he realizes it is only his jumps that set him apart from the others.
Could be the strategy is to create such a distance between Plushy's jumps and his competitiors that other lesser qualities of his skating won't matter.

That is one way to look at it. This worked for him in Torino, so why not try it again in Vancouver?

And I thought the same

You forget the previous competition - when he was left his competitiors behind him and in jumps, and in artistry? Does everyone here have amnesia?!

I m so upset that I realized in Men Lp thread that everybody is paid by russians or french and I like Plushenko for free that I cant get over it.

Really, where it should go to this money??!! I did not know that I can and earn! Why nobody said me this earlier?

[seniorita]

Lol I read here and I m still laughing for a tragedy known as the mullet, I m thinking of having it as a signature.

Ari is not only his "agent"...

What else is he? His hairdresser?

Oh, then Ok, forget the mullet, in case this happens, you can dress up like a chicken for a week

[Buttercup]

Plushyta, every time I see your sig picture I feel like I'm being given the finger. Can we please have a more attractive picture of Evgeni? Don't pretend you don't have one .

[gracefulswan]

i totally believe that he would be daring enough to attempt either a 3/4 or 4/4 at russian nationals.

why?

1) he'd be making a huge statement with those jumps....(even if they get dinged for UR...obviously he can land them)

2) it's a local competition, that he more than likely has in the bag.

3) he's got nothing to lose.... it's most likely his last shot at such hard jumps the older he gets, and if he can do them now, then he should as he might not be able to next season, supposing he sticks around after the games.

4) just think, if he gets credit for the combo, WOW!!

[seniorita]

Oh B, I think you did a big BIG mistake, that you left the door open to plushyta to choose a pic of Evgeni!

you like this?http://lh4.ggpht.com/_idu8GHog288/Su...0/DSC04072.JPG

It is of the very few I made, from Gala, dont like to take pics when comp is running plus I dont have the camera neither the talent for those kind of photos.

How about this one?

No, I'm joking. I just find the finger picture really unattractive, and I think a fan would want to find something that better represents a favorite skater, rather than metaphorically giving non-fans the finger. I was hoping Plushyta would find something that she likes that shows Plushenko at his best, because that one isn't it.

Thanks for sharing your pic, having been at TEB I understand how hard it is to get good ones...

[seniorita]

How about this one?

Ah Nijinski () !Great photo, Plushy with longer haircut as well!
Keep it safe for the future, I think it will be unique and one of the kind.

I kid. Maybe... I m not sure...

You are benig given the finger! The Plushy finger!!

Seriously though I quite like the picture in Plushyta's sig and even as a non fan i don't get all the upset caused by the finger!

!wow, i had underestimated The Power of the Finger.
It hit Ant He has entered the twilight zone.
You are kidding, right?
Cause if not, at which point we should start being worried about you?

I actually found the whole thing pretty funny! I didn't see the big problem...where did he finish in that competition, oh yeah first! He got his jumps landed back in international competition and set himself up nicely with a good comeback skate with his eye on Euros and Olys. So what if he had his finger out thinking he's number 1, he's earned the bragging rights. We've seen upthread Joubert isn't beyond getting his own finger out to celebrate, and there are bound to be loads of others who have done the same at some point. Emotions run high after a great skate...i don't feel strongly about reactions immediately after a skater has performed.

I don't have a problem with athletes proclaiming themselves number 1. I just find that particular picture, um, aesthetically not pleasing? Here are some examples of finger pointing technique done correctly:
Example 1: for the record, these people are not, in fact, no 1. Though they do seem happy.
Example 2, the double finger, AKA "I'm no. 11!".
Example 3 - by a well feathered individual who is not Evan Lysacek

Well despite all, I love Plushy's 1. So cocky yet boyish..
