... FWIW, not everyone needs to have a highly-defined personal style. I guess my point (and your point, papagena) is that perhaps it's not pronounced. That's different than saying he doesn't have a sense of personal style -- just that it's not precisely define or pronounced. Certainly my personal style has evolved and been clarified over the last few years.
ETA: That's also different than saying he doesn't look good. Generally he looks good.
Revisiting our discussion of Jason's off-ice style
:
(1) He seems to have a
second pair of new eyeglasses -- which differs from the old one more subtly than does New Pair #1.
(2) Jason looks great in the dark leather jacket that he recently wore to the ballet.
ETA, I see now that it's the same jacket that he wore for
Skating magazine's photo shoot.
I wonder whether he was asked to bring some of his own wardrobe to the shoot, or whether he decided to purchase (or was given
) the jacket after wearing it at the shoot.
(3) Agree with everything that Mrs. P said.
I suppose I should clarify that what I find particularly cute and adorable about this video is the way they interact with each other. Josh's deadpan "You don't know your own name?" slays me every time. ...
karne, I know that you love both Jason and Josh dearly, and I certainly am not out to criticize either one (or you) over the banquet video.
Part of what I meant is that I did not know whether to laugh or cry over some of Josh's deadpan delivery, such as his joke about whether cheese is a form of dairy.
(I happen to love cheese, so it bums me out that Josh cannot enjoy milk-based cheese.)
Although half of me is glad that Josh is able to make dealing with his allergies
look easy, the other half of me is sad that making it
look easy does not mean that it really has been or is easy.
An emergency trip to the hospital obviously would not be fun for anyone, and one for an elite athlete during a competition even less so. Even I (whose familiarity with Josh is far less than yours) am aware that an acute allergic reaction required an emergency hospitalization for him during Nats one year. For all I know, perhaps other such emergencies have cropped up for Josh at other events, but even one was one too many.
I feel sure that Jason has been nothing but supportive of Josh throughout their friendship.
For example, it was endearing that Jason checked the inside of the innocuous-looking roll at the banquet to be sure that it did not have any unacceptable filling.
But it was heartbreaking that Josh said that he still could not eat it. (I assume that he would no way of knowing whether the dough contained dairy or something else to which he is allergic.)
So my feelings about the video remain mixed.
My feelings about Jason and Josh are only positive.
... Ah yes, the legend of Minsk, where the women would crowd at the hotel entrance and shout at Josh to marry them, their daughters, their granddaughters...completely ignoring Han and Jason (who, of course, did not find this hilarious at all.
) They were 17 here, and this was the year they were silver and bronze, with Josh losing the title to Han by half a point. ...
Off topic, but does video exist of this scene? Now that sounds cute.
ETA, speaking of cute ... I think this photo of mini-Jason is new to me:
️ #SkateFest @usfigureskating
if he really did become a dual Summer/Winter Olympian.
Another year went by in a blink & wow was it an incredible one! 12 pics to represent each month of the past year!
