Stay please.
I'm ok with some critics, but maybe try to see the light and tell us what you do like of her right now.
I see you liked the jumps in IDF.
I did too in general, but 3a it's not ready yet and it's key to any ambition, so it may be frunstrating.
I think that Aliona, even in '19, skates less expressively when she's worried about TES.
She should go out there to perform to shine if she goes out like "I should not do wrong" something is lost.
That's why confidence is so important to her.

Yep, our girls didn't disappoint!! I got a TikTok dance like I wanted and lots of adorable A+A moments at IDF too! :jump:🥰

So the reason I was so surprised that Aliona did Harley Quinn at the gala is because after Skate Canada, she said they planned a French EX program for France):

After the tournament in Finland, I went to the second training session. The coaches said: We are changing the free program. She did not argue. Why not? If I feel it well.

And the change of the short program happened unexpectedly. There was a question about a [gala program]. In Canada I decided to skate the program in English, in France - in French. I started preparing the New York issue. And when I drove, everyone realized that it turns out much better than my current short one. So they decided to change it, - Sport24 correspondent Konstantin Lesik reports the words of Kostornaya.

So now I am wondering... Did they abandon the idea to have a French EX at IDF? 🤔 Or...does this mean Aliona might have a new FS program in the future??? o_O
That's just *wild speculation* on my part, but if it really does happen, then :drama:. (Though if Aliona ends up with a well-done Edith Piaf FS, I will not complain!!)

"Lovely" isn't working for me as an FS right now, but I think the easiest thing to do is to replace that last dubstep section with a different piece. Maybe there's like a techno remix version? Or maybe there's something else that's upbeat/fast tempo that Billie Eilish sings? (Sorry Aliona, but I'm not that familiar with her music. 😅 ) Heck, I would even suggest changing the last section to "Boss B!tch" from her EX, but I don't think that would fly! 🤣 🤣

Did you miss the colour of her hair? That was the French touch! I did appreciate. :thank:
 
This article is from a Russian media in French. They introduce the five most promising Women Russian skaters.
I'm glad Alyona is among them! In Junior there's Adelia but not Sofia. In Senior Maiia's missing too, is it because of her skates in Varsaw? Liza's missing too.
And there's Vemvane's photo of the Harley Quinn.

Thanks for sharing, DizzyFrenchie! :thank:

Here is the same article on the English site:

Interesting, very interesting... :popcorn: That news organization (Russia Beyond The Headlines) is sponsored by the Russian state news agency (i.e., the government), so it's very interesting to me that they've listed Aliona as one of the top stars... Not sure if this means anything, or if the person who wrote the article is just a Kosto-fan like us... :biggrin:
 
For those who were asking about Aliona's makeup, here's an interesting article about Aliona's makeup and costumes.
matchtv.ru

Косторная вдохновлена кумиром подростков и диктует новую моду. Профессиональный разбор от визажиста

«Запрещенное» черное платье, новые татуировки и макияж, который никто прежде на лед не выгуливал.
matchtv.ru matchtv.ru

It's written by my favorite Russian skating journalist, Anastasia Panina, whom I like to believe is a secret Kosto-fan who needs to pretend to be objective because she's a journalist. :biggrin:

She talks with a makeup artist about Aliona's glitter makeup, and this is what she had to say [via GoogleTranslate]:
- These sparkles are now a trend among young people - there and in addition to Billie Eilish, many of the young stars and their followers wear makeup like that. But in this case, if Billy's music is used, the reference is also clearly to her. In close-ups, I like the blue and gold glitter freckles. I would not say that from a distance they look like dirt, because they are not glued chaotically, but on a clearly defined area. Most often, in such cases, colorless glitter is really used, or at least in skin color, so that it only gives shine. But here the sequins are chosen under the blue dress and eyes - quite appropriate. By the way, I note that the glitter is painfully washed off - it can even leave micro-scratches.

I also liked this quote:
Well, I can not help but note that Alena has such eyes that no matter how she put on her makeup, everything will be beautiful.

I agree! :love:

Yes, if everything were up to me, I would probably say, if you're as naturally gorgeous as Aliona and have such naturally stunning eyes, then less is more... HOWEVER, Aliona has clearly stated that she wants to be different from everyone else, and we know that the success of her programs depends heavily on her mood--when's she confident and into her programs, they sparkle. So if wearing the glitter makeup makes helps with that, then I'm all for it! :rock:
(Also, I do feel like the more people tell her NOT do something, the more likely she is to do it...that is our rebel for you!) :ROFLMAO:

I would slightly disagree, or rather say that I don't have material to agree. Alyona is a wonderful make-up artist herself and while yes she has the most beautiful eyes, I find it hard to ascertain that any make-up would have a beautiful rendering.
I somehow fancied that Alina passed on to her the make-up advice she got from Shiseido but it can also be innate taste and sense of rendering.

About her new hair colour, I bet the colours for her Harley Quinn EX won't go immediately so she used a darker tone to cover up until the blue and red are gone. It also gives her an opportunity to try something else.

Yep, you are totally correct! A fan asked her about her hair color, and apparently Aliona used a blue tint balm that didn't wash off, so she dyed it a darker color so the blue would be less obvious.


So this continues the tradition of Aliona having weirdly dyed hair at the GPF! :biggrin:
If you recall, she had green hair at the 2017 JGPF, and pink hair at the 2019 GPF, and now she's going to have blue hair at the 2021 GPF!! ;)
:rofl::rofl:

How could anyone not love her 🥰
Like the last training before competition.
Everybody else: constume, hair and makeup
Aliona: I don't give a ****! This sweater is so comfy :coffee: and... I don't need to dress up to be noticed :devilish:

Real hair dyeing for an Exhibition program, that's commitment.
