Sorry, I'm too old even for cougar status, I'll stick to auntie....)
Also, although I know the frou frou costumes are a grand tradition (and I started with Toller Cranston, who initiated the frou frou costume tradition), how refreshing to see the black t-shirt/black pants look. Despite the bubbly teen persona, this young man is an athlete, and seeing the arms and the black t shirt reminds one of that basic fact. (is that part of the cougar club.

LOL, I don't know if I'm more familiar. But I've been a fan for some time.
What I think I find interesting is that yes -- as you pointed out -- he has the happy-go-lucky side. But he also s also competitive and strategic. Just because you're happy and love life doesn't mean you let people walk all over you.
As the saying goes, you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar.
Anyway, auntie fans is probably more PG for these boards. 
Oh I don't know, this one is pretty death-by-cardio-gauntlet too. But it looks like he's kept the pounds on at least this time!I'm not sure if it's an illusion of the poor video sizing, but I think he might actually have...more in the engine room, so to speak!

I consider anyone who is older than Jason by a lot to be on Cougar status, LOL.
I was watching him at practice in Boston and I sat next to this local family (they were from Cambridge, to be more precise). They weren't figure skating fans, but just decided to attend practice as a Saturday morning family activity. Anyway, they LOVED Jason! I mean it was just a practice and people were going wild for him! The father taped his Riverdance run through, which he later sent to me...and it was amazing how captivating that performance was even though it was just a practice!!

This was from when he was at Trophee Eric Bompard before all the viral craziness... The french audience LOVED him.
<<Don't get too excited; he wore a plain white shirt and black pants for the debut of Riverdance, too. The training clothes were just placeholders; I'm interested to see what he's going to wear this year. >>
Oh, I have no doubt that they were placeholders. I envision a blousy kind of purple for Tristan et Iseult (I hope they take it easy on the sequins) and a zoot suit take-off for Juke.
As long as it not a male version of that horrid backless catsuit Ashley Cain was wearing.
I didn't realize there was another Prince costume. What happened to it? Negative reactions? Just curious. (is there a link?)
LOL-- this is like a Saturday night slumber party!! Only we're not together in person!! It's still fun.
Yes, when I heard he had lost 12 pounds I was horrified! At one point, he said he weighed 137-- I certainly hope he didn't get down to 125!!
Did any of you read Little Girls in Pretty Boxes?
Appalling!!
Here you go - the original version of the first Prince costume (Courchevel). Apparently one of his friends told him he looked like George Washington, so they toned the ruffles down later (Junior Worlds). He just got a new costume for the second season of the program, which was the purple vest one that was...okay. Not my favourite.
This is my favourite Jason costume (US Nats 2012).
It's actually Sunday afternoon where I am.
