Wow sunnystars!!! Nice recaps I was selfish and made my super secret spicy spaghetti instead of watching everyone and only watched Sarah

no problem! I decided to do a recap on everyone in the group because I knew some of the other girls. So I said why not?
I suck at the costume description though.

and thanks cheerknithanson, for the answer

Dark Dress with Gold Pattern on one side and white highlights on the other. (Sorry...I'm a guy...fashion isn't my thing)

Clears that up, then! I'd always assumed you were a guy for the longest time, but somewhere along the line a couple months back I started doubting whether or not that was the case. Always hard to tell online -- a lot of people seem to think I'm a 'she'... I've even seen Google algorithms pegging me as 'female' based on 'my internet usage and the websites I visit'. I think Google must be seriously confused...

Well. I think from my profile pic (And yes that's me in my profile pic) you can tell I'm female.

If I ever use a pic of myself as a 'main' photo anywhere, it's always a picture of me and lady together... it keeps everyone confused and guessing.

I definitely thought you were a "she" until I watched that top 10 costume video you did. That was a surprise. I think male skating fans are such a minority that I never assume anyone here is male, unless they make it obvious with their posts or username.

Yeah, gotta admit, I thought you were female, Sam. :

This looks like a good group of men. I'm excited to see Elladj Balde's new programs - I really noticed him for the first time at last year's Skate Detroit!
