@Mariott and i after watching RD :LOL:

In fact, I've always favored menswear, I even like this look :dance3:
 
the first time i don't assume somebody is a woman i get it wrong? that's me, ladies and gentlemen! yours truly! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
It's okay, I'm a woman, I'm pretty sure of that :) I just like some details of men's clothing, why not. Especially walking around in pants or a man's suit is so natural these days. My female students almost never wear skirts, preferring baggy men's clothes.

Sometimes I want something completely different, romantic dresses, but I usually have a unisex style.

I noted that you have an anti-gravity perm growing and I'm apparently about to get a mullet... :ROFLMAO:

those scores are absolute fantasy land
can they stop throwing points at the skaters like that?

I don't really want to add gasoline to the fire. And I honestly try to understand Samarin's fans, God bless them.
But the reaction of the Russian fan community is pretty telling:

ahahaha i was referring to a couple of episode that happened to me over the years here on GS but i'm realising that you're new and you don't know what i'm talking about. i usually assume every user is female (and younger than me), this led me to some funny misunderstandings like that time when i kept addressing an user as a woman for a year but it was actually a man. another time i kept calling daughter another user who was abviously a man and so on :LOL:

so now this is us

I've already figured it out :) Actually, I've been here for a long time, but I decided to register only after the Beijing Olympics.

The problem with all analytical languages is that you can't tell what gender the speaker is. This is not the case with synthetic languages, where you can't help giving away your gender :) -a, -o, zero ending, fine, I know who you are. That's why I love all Slavic languages, and I had to deal with at least a little bit of each of them when I did my uni course.

You're still the one with the perm and I'm the one in white? I never dreamed of a waist like that, but why not dream?

I wonder why they did let you call them by the wrong gender all this time, especially your daugther, Makar's husband. He was probably laughing behind his screen:laugh:

Ehhh.... Actually I do like Samarin :biggrin: He is an enganging performer, full of energy; he chooses distintive music and has always little details, face expressions, hand movements, that match perfectly to the music; I love those touchs. He engages with the audience and always tries to give an extra more. He is just fun to watch 😁

That said, and taking the pointers from your video, I do miss Misha Kolyada. A lot, and hope that somehow sometime he may return to competitions. Misha's skating was increadibly beautiful and his movements and gliding simply ethereal . Yes, it's very different to Samarin, I agree. But they are both skaters that from an artistic and performance point of view (my favourite part of figure skating 🙂 ) bring something special to the table and that I enjoy watching.

And actually when you see skates like Malinin's FS at Skate America where he was given 88 in PCS for absolutely no performance skills whatsover, no emotions, no connection to the music nor the public, no nothing... well, what can I say, Samarin does deserve his PCS :wink: :LOL:

Malinin is the great hope of American FS, so I can understand the inflated components to some extent (although I completely agree with you). What hopes are pinned on Samarin and what he has to enrich figure skating at least within our country, I can't even imagine. When I ask questions, I'm told "well, he makes the audience stand up", which is fine, although it's debatable to me (I stayed seated, and I don't count?), but it certainly doesn't make the skate more graceful, and the movements less jerky, and it doesn't turn triple jumps into quads. What he does with an audience, Yagudin does now at a much higher level, with dedication and artistry, so I don't consider Samarin the most artistic and audience-working skater. As it is... he's in a league of his own, his components are in some separate universe. It's a pity that there is only one table and they didn't come up with a separate one for him.

Did I actually ever talk about my hair color here? :oops: Though I must admit, I am not a natural blonde but I used to be blonde, indeed. Too much work though 🤣
 
girls are on in Canada @yume and @Mariott , you only need a vpn set on the Netherlands or Canada and che watch from youtube
Honey, we are not in the same league when it comes to streams. ISU and Russian channels never geoblocked anything in my country since they probably don't know it exists. VPN is for you peasants:cool:

If Morpheus doesn't come by then, i will maybe watch my niece Rino (i refuse to have kids, i'm the rich and cool auntie, even if i still have to work on the "rich" part).

Something about your parents choosing your first name according to your hair color.
But since you say that you're not a natural blonde, i have a doubt. Either it wasn't you, or you're probably a brunette and your name is Mélanie and i don't know why i thought it was Claire.

Ah, yes I indeed remember. Though my parents had indeed chosen two names - One I got (Melanie), and the other for if I had been blonde. Not a French name, but an Italian one 😜

For a while, my parents were very worried they had chosen the wrong name, as I was very blonde up until maybe 10 or so, and then my hair gradually started to darken, to the point where it's now closer to a dark chestnut.
I tried blonde again as an adult, but eventually came to the conclusion I look better as a brunette and had absolutely no desire to put in the effort and money to stay blonde. Well, and of course, the gray is coming soon enough (I found my first gray hair at 18 1/2 🤷‍♀️).
