Nathan Chen

colton - there’s two well known shots of Nathan’s abs - here’s the other one:

Otherwise random screen shots of his abs when his shirt flies up, even some did screen shots to see his underwear - Nike of course !

I don’t think Nathan generally uses hair product at competitions? I didn’t like his National haircut at all - but I liked his haircut at the Olympics - even shorter and so clean-cut ... and slightly imperfect - probably his mom helped him fix that unfortunate Nationals cut

I love it. Too lazy to type the word "melancholy" last night

But did you adjust the color a little bit to make it a little bit lighter? or is that my browser's color scheme is bit different? I have to change from IE to chrome today because GS interface looks really weird today

I don't know how to change color of GIFs, I used the original color, I think NATHAN.GIF on twitter is an expert at make color changes/filters for GIF.

Guys, we need to remember the rated G for content and language so as not to get mod visit.

colton12314, 4CC gala seems to have good shots of what you are looking for, you can make the gifs and post the links here . Probably needs some code name so as not to get into trouble.

And you are not the only one, I like the hair too, looks so sleek, sharp and fresh.

He looks good in all those haircuts. I wish there is an "all of above" choice for all those internet polls.

 

[hhh]

haha, your scream/headline is back!!!

Actually I was thinking about the same thing today when driving home, but I was mainly thinking about making a good list of links to the articles and videos so we can ask the GS admin to update links on the first page. I checked the several other FF, it seems that the mod/admin could make updates. The reason behind is that it is easier for the new fans to find stuff on the first page.

Or all we can have a centralized place for all the articles or videos and provide the link to the GS admin to see if they can insert the link to the first page. This way then there is no need to update the links on first page periodically. But not sure if they would that.

I like the asking MOD updating first page with all links idea. Google is good too but there’s has to be one admin right? A great idea heyheyhey

Yaas there should be a hairstyle poll!!

is easy to use for polls. could do a fav sp, fs, costume and of course favorite hair.

 

[oatmella]

There have been polls before - but sounds like we need to start some more

Vanilla Vera gets no love :sad4:

 

[hhh]

Vanilla Vera gets no love :sad4:

I do especially when he moves around the ice and in the gorgeous photos.

 

[oatmella]

Vanilla Vera is very underrated and it actually emphasizes his physique the most.

 

[heyheyhey]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Google documents can be viewed to anyone but only edited by a few (if you gave access to editing it) right? Maybe that’s the best way, organize everything on a google doc so everyone can view the links but only active members on this FF can edit it (to help with anyone randomly deciding to tinker with it or erase our work etc, just to be on the safe side) and we can add stuff as we find it. The google doc can then be sent to the admins to add to the first page for everyone to view.

Also @discode, that’d be awesome if you could record stuff that’s not already on YouTube and share it when you have time. Thanks so much, I personally always like seeing the commentaries from as many networks because they all have different things to say about the same performance. With Worlds, I’ve seen atleast 4 different versions of it lol. It’d be nice to have multiple versions for each performance for everyone to see. Idk if anyone here speaks Japanese, Russian, I know a few Chinese but it’d be cool to have like little summaries of what the commentators are saying in those respective languages (I’ve found many of Nathan’s performances in those languages but I never know what the commentators are saying [emoji23]) if anyone is interested once the links and stuff is complied for everyone.

Let me know what you guys think

Finally watching the SA Ice Desk interview - this was great

Nathan initially thought Nemesis was too ‘poppy’ but later thought it was cool

He gets nervous every time (competitions)

The fawning over Nathan’s hair ! - and this is the interview where he says that his mom cuts his hair

800 on his math SAT score ‘that may have happened’

People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2018

Nathan trained with the Shibs for a year?

Nathan looked so cute in his jean jacket ... and his new haircut by mom and his smile

 

[colton12314]

The first page appears to be periodically updated (yearly?), except that some of the links have been taken down due to copyright claims.
