This season is going to be so exciting. Johnny, Evan, Plushy, Kim, Miki are all come back, and Carolina Kostner and Brian Joubert are choosing to stay! On top of that all the Russian little Divas are blossoming nicely; and of course Hanyu, would he able to top his Romeo last year and cop with his stamina problems? Patrick Chan is very very close to realise his artistic calling considering sparks we saw at his Elegie. He and Yuna seems to be going rogue at the moment, still coach less, and somewhat unsettled and unpredictable. What ever happens. It is going to be sooo exciting!!

The only dream skater I'd like to add to that list is Stephane Lambiel, but I doubt that will ever happen especially with the recent injury trouble. He is producing some amazing work in his exhibitions though which more than compensate for any competitive COP restrictive program.

In a way I don't really care who wins, as long as I sees some great skating :)

Evan in latest IFS magazine about his comeback (to FC and to his family): “I explained to them where I was coming from, but it took little convincing to make everyone believe that I was doing it for the right reasons”. I said, “Hey, look you guys, I am not doing this because I have to win again, or because I want more titles. I am not doing this because I have nothing else to do with my life. I am doing it for the most pure reason. I love skating and I am really fortunate that I can still do it.”

I love this quote. Good for him for coming back because he loves it.

Photos in fashion magazines are bound to be photoshoped, anyway. What I'm intrigued about those photos is that Johnny's muscles seem a little bit, lacking, for an athlete preparing a hard comeback. Maybe this photoshoots were done way before he started serious training.

skaters tend to be "chicken chested" anyway...

just because fasion/glamour shots are overly photoshopped doesn't mean every photog out there likes to see it done. ;)

Only pair skaters tend to have bigger builds and it's not like he was flexing. Johnny has always been on the slighter side of having muscles. I think the pics look great. They have always photshopped their pics so I guess he got the same treatment.

That's not just too much photoshop, that is BAD photoshop lol. I'm not a fan of it for men, for Johnny, I'm sure he'd want a bit, but that PS is absolutely horrific. :disapp:

I dunno I see it so often that I sometimes think it's the *in thing*... I don't "airbrush" that much for my clients... I'll get rid of your pimples and I might hide that extra chin if I can, but that's about it... I just don't enjoy the fake look.
