Did Sasha skate like Sasha? I remember Sasha becoming a gypsy, a Spanish dancer, Juliet etc.
Actually, yes, I think Sasha does skate like Sasha.
I cannot tell the difference between a triple Lutz done in the Gypsy style and one done in the Spanish style. When Sasha pulls her leg straight up and spins around real fast, I am not crying out, no, no Juliet, don't stab yourself, you'll get over your grief.
It just does not seem like a legitimate art form to me.. Spanish dancers don't skate. They don't glide along on an edge. When a skater clicks imaginary castenets, then does a sit spin -- well, OK, she is acknowledging the music. But I would not say that she "became" a Spanish dancer.
I'm not sure that a male skater (regardless of sexual orientation) should feel "Princessy".
Would it be better if he felt "Princely?"
