Oh dear. Doesn't Kevin CARE that he'll always be known as the skater who wore the silly skeleton costume at the 2010 Olympics? :eek:

Apparently not ..

ETA: Speaking of unfortunate costumes, please tell me this is a bad joke:

I really love D&G's new SP costumes...The music is James Bond...In this pic she isn't wearing them, but Dani now wears black boot covers...I think the target on his chest is pretty cool lol

Those costumes would have made a good promo shot for a movie like "Earth Girls Are Easy"

Am I missing something - or does Alena's new "Witch" costume look kind of strange?

In this season's "Battle of the Witches" I think Mirai will win the "costume battle" and although I haven't seen her new dress yet it just has to be better than Alena's. :yes:

Actually it isn't Alena's FS, it's her SP on the circus theme. She is a clown here. Her FS (and the real witch dress) from test skates

Thanks LuckyStar. Geez, it makes more sense now as I thought Alena's SP was her Witch program. I thought the choreo was a bit "clownish" too - as it is supposed to be.

The LP clip looks good.

Normally that's the sort of costume I would hate but I actually really like it, espcially the gloves. It fits very well with the choreography, which is fun and somehow grown up at the same time. I really hope she manages to get it together.

Ha! Those gloves are the bomb. It's so over the top. But I'm digging it. Not so much the clown costume though.

ETA: This is one of my favorite costumes so far this year:

It's so sweet! It doesn't seem to have much to do with the Fidler of the Roof music, but neither does the choreo. Guess she decided not to interpret it literally.
