Idle, thanks for the picture. Seriously, they look like those sad little groups of people outside large factories smoking in the rain because smoking in the workplace is forbidden, but addiction is not reasonable. They have that same huddled look. Sad, sad,

Idle, you're right.
No sexual activity evident at all.
All lined up liked going to the lavatory when you were a kid in grammar school, boys in one line, girls in the other. You expect that Tara is going to turn around and say, "TEAACCHER. Angelika is TOUCHING ME!!!WAAH!"

But all dressed like Tonya Harding in '94 SP-old west bar girl. Did the choreographer of SOI have a thing for Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty) in Gunsmoke? What is it with these western themed same sex skating numbers?

Ah, Idle, thanks for the picture of the guys number.
As I suspected, they aren't wearing "real" cowboy hats, they are wearing cowboys hats that famous people wear when the want to convey that sexy cowboy look.
But I must say, their backsides would definitely help warm up a camp site!
This is what Sandra Bezic said about the supposedly "gay" cowboy routine. One thing Bezic knew she wanted was a piece that featured some MACHO attitude. "I decided immediately I wanted a guy number. Obviously , because of the running order, all the guys couldn't be in it. We've got a number with six guys. It's really alot of fun and very physical. They're adorable and such a pleasure to work with." Right from the choreographer herself (taken from IFS mag).
So it's a MACHO thing:smokin:
Linny - Almodovar won several oscars. One I remember, Antonio was sitting in the audience applauding wildly when Almodovar's name was announced.
Straights and gays get along just fine. Why it becomes such a thing in golden skate is so archaic for me.
Sandra did a nice job on the cowboy number - not unlike Agnes deMille, and for me to give praise to a show number is most unusual.
Tara was missing, well......

Applause and fives for you Joe.
Wow! Big kudos for you Joe for saying something positive about a show program. Ah, there is hope for you yet:lol:
But the comment, "Straights and gays get along just fine." On GS and in liberal circles, but remember Joe, you and I live in NY, which is not really part of the US. I've seen too many of my gay male friends almost beaten to death and felt the hatred of those whom I threatened just because I was friends with gay men to agree with that comment. Oh, how I wish it were true. Sadly, it is true on one level--when straights don't know the gay men they know are gay. On that level, you are absolutely right, but I would alter it thus: "Straights and gays get along just fine--as long as they don't know anything about each other's sexual orientation."

Mary Motor Mouth,
I haven't looked at the thread in Le Cafe yet, but everything DorisPulaski, WindSpirit, and others said about cowboys being a gay stereotype/fantasy along the lines of the Village People is exactly what I would have said--only not as well as Doris did
