That boy uses way more product that me! I also have naturally wavy hair, so perhaps I can get a tip or two for myself?
Also i wonder, should all the posts from the Jason goes viral thread be moved to here? It sort of became the de-facto fan thread during the Olympics...

(Sorry couldn't resist the puns.....)
And of course Jason totally goes all fanboy on us. It's cute.
Awww, that's so adorable!
(Though, honestly, saying that feels rather redundant at this point, doesn't it? )
I'd rather have repeated statements of "Jason is adorable" than the redundant number of posts on the Ladies judging conspiracy.
Just saying.
Brown’s visit home was brief because he’s scheduled to depart today for training at U.S. Figure Skating’s complex in Colorado Springs, Colo. He is a first alternate for the World Figure Skating Championships that run March 24-30 in Saitama, Japan.
“I’m going to be training for those three weeks until they leave for Worlds and I know that I’m not needed,” Brown, 19, said in a brief interview after the second assembly.
Part that caught my eye from that article -
The U.S. Figure Skating's complex in Colorado Springs = World Arena, yes? Does that mean Jason and Kori don't have to train in Monument anymore? Happy for them if it's true! I remember reading that when they first moved to Colorado, their hope all along was to train at the World Arena rink but they were denied permission. Glad that people came to their senses and realized Jason is an elite skater like the others training in Colorado Springs. I'm still in denial over him being the first alternate for Worlds, please don't tell me all his training will go for nought...
Edit: Don't think this was posted...
Athletes explain their "perfect day", Jason gives two!
.. I'm still in denial over him being the first alternate for Worlds, please don't tell me all his training will go for nought...
... I don't think the extra training for world would be a waste. Training is training and its good for his reputation with USFS to know that he is ready if called upon. I'd love Jason to go to words too but hopefully Jeremy and Max can earn three spots for next year. Jason should be in a great spot to go then.
Whoa, no need for the lecture! I'm thrilled for Jason regardless, but selfishly as a fan of course I want MORE! When I said waste of training I meant for those of us who won't get to see his programs one last time. Hopefully he'll be able to go to Japan soon because it seems like he's gained quite the following there! Maybe NHK next season? I'm assuming he'll be assigned Skate America as his other GP event.
And yes, his descriptions of his perfect day(s) sounds exhausting! His perfect day is more like my perfect week, haha.
I totally feel you. I want one more Riverdance too! And a perfect one. Even the one at Nationals wasn't completely perfect ....
We'll see.
Those darn axels....is it true that he still hasn't done two clean triple axels in his long program? It looked like he might have in the team event but were they downgraded? His scores did seem kind of low...
He did two in his Liebestraume FS at Junior Worlds last season that were both clean (which in part contributed to why he only ended up four points behind Josh). I think he got UR on both of them in the Team Event.
