2019 World Championships Free Dance

Um, if I'm not being rude, does being gay make you a better DJ? Genuinely curious

No. But it does give you a better sense of fashion.

Ice resurfacing only takes 15 minutes. But, if you also nap through the 6 min warmup, then you can sleep until 23 minutes past the hour

Nooooooo! The warm-up is where you can see the skaters' states of mind; if they are having a good day or not.

Poohs already??

At 4CC Piper and Paul were followed by Chock/Bates so I had to smile with tears on my face, now it's the reverse so I can smile freely then cry my eyeballs out

Hey, I imagine if you're there to watch the FD, why not just camp out til the men skate?

Side note- I know the poohvalanche might be a little over the top to some, but it's so great that there is a visual representation of fandom in the sport. Figure skating really needs that :cool2:

The best dance clubs in NY were always the gay discos. Same with the DJs. The top DJs in NYC for years were generally gay. Funny how that works out. And really disco started in black and gay clubs then filtered out from there. Paradise Garage was a legendary club in NYC and pretty much the epicenter of where disco really took off in the 1970s.

Hello everyone
Not sure of I am mentally prepared for Vincent FD, but I hope they leave their all there, building a beautiful legacy for that special program.

I'm going to miss Starry, Starry Night so much :sad4:, but it's a program of the ages and will be appreciated for years to come

 

[LadyB]

OMG!!!! I’m soooooo nervous!!!! Paul is so cute!

Random thought: G/P could pull off a Doctor Who program.

If anyone can, it’s them!

I'm a millennial (sorry) so I never knew, all hail the gay DJs :agree:

I'd better go grab my hanky for Vincent! I swear I've lost all objectivity over that dance. It's truly one of those rare moments when art transcends sport. Let the waterworks begin!

The Poohvalanche is awesome! I love it!

Good luck Charlene and Marco! He looks so dapper in his outfit and her dress is my fave!

The other day while driving around doing errands, I started snickering to myself, wondering what would happen if a confused fan accidentally threw a Pooh stuffie on the ice for Shoma after he’s finishing his program.

*hears pin drop*

*socccer style hooligan brawl breaks out*

*arena implodes*

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hmm, so the CBC stream has no commentary but glitches, the Youtube stream is stable but has TAT commentary... which one should I use

It's still warm up, you have a few minutes

 

[Ichatdelune]

Piper gets all the bonus points for that beautiful, beautiful Starry dress, but Madison Chock is drop-dead gorgeous and so is Laurence F-B, I'm being floored by so much beauty

Holy hell, that would be amazing. *tries to telepathically connect with Carol Lane*

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I'm really looking forward to all the skaters in this group, but especially Piper and Paul. They have such a beautiful FD. I hope that they will be able to have a wonderful moment here with it.

 

[WeakAnkles]

The first of the KILLERDILLER flights BEGINS NOW!

 

[SarahSynchro]

No. But it does give you a better sense of fashion.

And better eyebrows. Totally paraphrasing that line from Adam Rippon.

 

[jillredhand]

Love Laurence's skirt. Just High Drama all the time always.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Gooooo Canadanes!
