favorite skating costumes

The dark blue dress Nicole Bobek wore for her Dr. Zhivago program is a favorite of mine. Actually, the white peasant-style dress she wore for the SP that year was a winner as well.

I thought the shimmery, champagne colored Vera Wang Nancy Kerrigan wore for the LP at the 1994 Olys was a knockout. Speaking of '94, I loved the costume Josse Chouinard wore for her Gershwin program. I loved the way the skirt on that outfit moved. It wasn't wispy like so many of the skirts are; it had a little more substance or weight. When it twirled up it stood out from her body and formed a little undulating circle.

Lu Chen went through a stage in the mid 1990s when she wore costumes with simple leotard-style bodices. They looked almost like a ballet dancers practice outfit. I always liked those dresses on Lulu; they were a refreshing contrast to the sparkly look.

I've noticed that some of the men go for a pedestrian style, like "I've just come in off the street in my
t-shirt and jeans and decided to skate." I'm fond of this look myself, although I realize it may be a way of shouting to the world, "I'm not a gay sissy-boy in a frilly outfit". Remember how Urmanov was pilloried for his 'Sir Walter Raleigh goes to the bath house' costume?

Still, if a skater has a good build, those simple,
form hugging t-shirts and pants make him look like Stanley Kowalski -- if he'd just get a couple of tatoos and roll up a pack of Marlboros in his shirt sleeve.

Sorry for the long post. I have to go soak my fingers in ice water now. :lol:

Sorry SRS, but there are WAY worse costumes than that one of C&S's. It looks appropriate for a folk dance. The really awful ones have fake skin, feathers, and look like they've gone through the shredder.

Favorite skating costumes

Although they got pillored for it by the politically correct crowd for not "portraying Native American Culture properly"(Get a life,bub,it's just a show!),I like Anjelika Krylova & Oleg Ovsyannikov's Mohican costumes,as well as their Caezar & Cleopatra ones.And,it does help that Anjelika is so stunningly beautiful.
