I'm so glad to see Aliona back on the ice, and her little happy dance was priceless! :hap57:

I can't wait to find out what her new programs will be! Even though it's not clear when they'll be able to compete again...

extra fs posted the livestream chat that Aliona and Anna did a few weeks ago with full subtitles--yay!

Having watched the full talk, I got the answer to one of the burning questions I had for Aliona--the one about who she likes better in "Vampire Diaries," Stefan or Damon! I'm totally Team Damon as well!

I've been really busy recently, so I haven't been able to comment on some of the big developments that have happened, like Sasha and Sergey Rozanov leaving, or Aliona's pink hair (!) or glasses (!!)--but I have enjoyed reading your comments! :agree:

I'll leave you with one last tidbit.

Aliona's Japanese Wikipedia page says that "her nickname is beauty" at the end of the first paragraph (with the footnote reference #1). I just thought that was hilarious.

Aliona being Aliona over and over again... That's exactly how I imagined her going back on the ice for the very first time after the quarantine! She's unbearably funny and adorable! :luv17:

Alluring: powerfully and mysteriously attractive or fascinating.

Besides Aliona's amazing triple Axels, we get to see a funny edit of Aliona's adorable side off the ice at the EC in Graz. I can't get over it! :luv17:

Alyona in a new sponsorship? https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBfJxW2FdDf/ since this a repost from a makeup site?

Alyona is demonstrating exercises for the abdominal muscles here.

from what i gathered from the translation, that page is for a Russian beauty influencer/makeup artist and she shared Aliona's video because she was her makeup artist for filming.

Okay so I missed the series of exercises by various athletes? Alyona giving instructions, she has a small voice, but no doubt can be quite directive and bossy when needed ;-)

The makeup artist tagged the ministry of sport handle and the brand “forward” which is a sponsor of the Russian National Team? So it seems to be that Aliona was chosen to demonstrate exercises for people to do at home, along with other successful athletes from different sports. Not sure this is a sponsorship, but looks more like a collaboration with the ministry of sport. But hopefully she will have a contract with some brand soon!

Agreed! She looks so serious while the girl is putting on her make-up... The Baby Boss expression can be seen there too!

What teenage girl doesn't like to be pampered, manicured, hair styled and have her make up applied by professionals?

Alyona's subtle competitive makeup and hair has always struck me as very well done (by herself).

Well.. not always that subtle..

 

[macy]

Well.. not always that subtle..

she did go for more of a dramatic look for her FS last season for obvious reasons, but its never over the top or distracting from her packaging or skating. i also really like how she styled her hair vs her junior years, you could definitely tell she was going for more of a mature look as a senior lady.

i can't wait to see what they brew up for next season :luv17:
