Fetal,

I have been racking my brain ever since I saw your picture of Michelle-what did she skate to wearing that get-up?

Re: Costume disasters

Fetal, I love the captions below the pictures......too cute.

I don't like it when the pair skaters don't match.....you know, she wears pink and orange and he's in mauve and off-white. Get coordinated already. 42

Re: Costume disasters

Hate Plushenko's costumes, esp. the GPF one, Urmanov's 20 foot cape, Kulik's vinyl giraffe shirt, Ivan Dinev...
Yagudin's LP costume didn't bother me until a friend pointed out that the eye slits are over his breasts (she didn't even see the face) now I can't look at it without being disturbed by that.
On the women's side I thought Irina looked like the Mother of the Bride in her frumpy LP costume.
But nothing is worse than Maria's too small flesh tone LP costume from last season. Everytime her skirt flew up I thought I was seeing her naked butt.

Re: Costume disasters

I did not like the light blue costume that MK wore for the New York/ 1961 Team Exhibition (I know that there is a better name for it). Although the color looked good on her the style made her look like she was about 12...maybe not a disaster but a disappointment. I love the black lace with the royal blue (or purple depending on your television) skirt that she wore for the GPF short program (Rach). Agree about Irina's LP dress from SLC although I don't like the original one with the fake flesh that doesn't match her skin tone, the loose things hanging from it, and the color reminds me of holographic fish skin (is it green, is it purple,is it blue?) either. Irina is so charming. I think that her costumers are really doing her a disservice. That face should be accented and a lot of her dresses seem to be the same style with the spaghetti strap top that seems like the straps are about an inch too long (remember Gwynyth Paltrow's pink Oscar dress?) the same thing! The long skirts with the uneven hem combined with the "droopy" top seem to pull your eye down to her legs...not her best feature but more importantly they take the attention away from her face... her best feature. I also think that those long skirts detract from her speed all of that fabric around the knees makes things look s-l-o-w-e-r again taking away from one of her strengths..her speed and powerful jumps. Maybe the costumers intent was to soften the leg area with the skirts and give a more sophisticated look with the top but IMO the intent was good but the result needs more work.

And to think that these two would go on to win olympic silver medals...albeit not as a pairs team

Perhaps she's waiting for some guesses. My guess is Peter and Kitty Carruthers. Anyone else wanna take a stab?

Nope, you're in the wrong country--now there's a big hint. Here's another big hint: They now skate with other partners and have now each stood on the World podium.

Idleracer and anyone else who knows how to insert graphics is NOT ALLOWED TO CHEAT! :lol:

Re: Awwwwww

DB's costume doesn't look very comfortable either, (you are right about the tongue)!

Is the picture the current (female) Olympic gold medalist in ice dancing and the newly crownd (male) World gold medalist in ice dancing?

Re: Awwwwww

Okay, that was actually my guess because of the person to whom the foto is credited. Thanks.

Tharrtell,

That was a big help to me too. I always get IA from Russia confused with PV from Lithuania (even though they look nothing alike )as to who used to skate with Marina....can you tell that I can't spell their names?LOL

AWWWW.....

You are half correct... The girl is indeed Anissina. As for the guy, re-read my hints VERY carefully. There is one tiny word in there that gives it away. :rollin:
