I always found Sasha to be reserved in her performances. I liken her skating as having a snowglobe effect. You are drawn to it, enjoy it, but there is not a great deal of connection. For me, I don't think of that as a negative, just how I view her skating. Then there are other skaters, like Michelle for example, who reach outwards in their skating and bring the audience into their world. Like Dick once said-Michelle has the ability to "...make you love her, make you feel she loves you. That is a great quality to have." Just a different style and it's a matter of personal preference which you prefer. I find both styles desirable and think both are suited for tour skating. It brings about balance and eliminates the same theme between skaters. I think Sasha stays true to her self by skating that way.
I stated this in my SOI review thread. I agree, that is her style and there's nothing necessarily bad about it. As long as people like what you bring to the ice, and they come back, you've done your job. She seems to do that. Ok, fine.
I'm more introverted. I ride horses for a living. I prefer when the clients don't come and want to hang out, chat, and I can ride their horses in my own world. I wish I was like those who can talk it up and engage in any sort of conversations with their clients-go out to lunch and schmooze. But that is not me. However, when they come to watch me ride their horses, or I go to shows, I love it, I love presenting the horse I'm showing to the best of their/my abilities, and I have fun doing my job. It's still a job and their are days it's not all fun and games, and I grind it out when I rather stay in bed, but there is nothing else I'd rather do. It's what I'm good at. I feel Sasha is the same way.
I'm the same way as well. I'm not really the "chit-chatty" type of person, and I don't typically open up to people unless they're either really nice or we know each other.
