[tsuyoboogie]

Besides new skates Kao has a new FS costume...his 4th one for this FS
It's a Ito Satomi so at least it a real costume and hopefully pretty~


Gotta look forward to something because I anticipate a mess

And I might add that Luddite me never thought I would be trying to navigate two qs in one night (something else going on tonight) that in my younger more innocent years had no idea existed! The things we do....

figure skating turned us into scoundrels, didn't it?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Taiga successful 4S during warmup!

STAR-kun GANBA!!!

Sparkles and colour and homages galore this year, I like it

Well to be fair, I went scoundrel with my first fandoms and pirated video tapes (what fandoms they were is on a strictly Need to Know basis and none of your dear folk need to know) and that was oh so long ago....

 

[TallyT]

I love the purple shirt and the song, but what they have to do with each other is as great a mystery as some of the ID costumes this year.

Kosho has the best music choices . The first half was really good, the second half a bit of a mess, but the step sequence was still lots of fun and the program was super enjoyable.

SENA!!!
Great skate!!!
I was a bit disappointed when he chose to return to this FS because I really liked the Don Quixote program he started the season with
But hey...in this case it worked out for him

He's a handsome lad, isn't he?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I really love this music and this program, and Takeru is such a gorgeous skater - his refinement of movement is so good - but he just seemed a little cautious and hesitant with the jumps today.
