The costumes
Why - are they bad? Should I be sad or glad that I can't see them?
Also, I suppose I should have also said in my initial post that we will also - incidentally, and almost inadvertently as it were
- be contemplating Brian's better than "good average" looks.
Though I must say that the photo chosen for the below article certainly might not lead you to believe that:

#BrianJoubert and Katarina Gerboldt @1katarinochka will participate as a pair in Christmas show of @EvgeniPlushenko

(Note: 'Tis the same as in the Plushy thread.)
How they were able to dig up such an unflattering photo of Brian I don't know...
Some extracts from the article (via Googletranslate):
""While Brian has signed contracts (for performances in a number of shows), the term of which will be completed by early 2015, and fully train Katarina he can not, - said Vasilyev. - But skaters have been invited to try their hand at the show, a fairy tale" Snow King ", which is preparing for the New Year two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko. In my opinion, this is also a great opportunity to work together. And whether athletes qualify for the highest sports result in the pair will be known in the spring.""
&:
"Information that Joubert is going to train a group of famous Russian coach Oleg Vasiliev paired with Gerboldt, appeared in July of this year. However, as it turned out, the skater, who had previously played in figure skating, there are obligations to the TV France - September he should act in a series of television shows, as well as a similar event in Japan."

I dig it though...it's a children's fairy tale show, after all, so any normal rules about skating costumes (such as they are) don't really apply, in my opinion. Not sure what Brian's role is meant to be.
Thanks - you're a true friend!
