Please read this link about Laura's comments on Male Skaters being feminine......http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Ma...y+Laura+Lepistös+feminine+barbs/1135246111592
She should start a movement for Ladies to be the sole competitors in Figure Skating. Why not? Certainly they are followed in America with great care. Moreso than other disciplines.
There are a few ladies who were seen as "too masculine" and had to try and feminize their styles, eg Midori Ito, Irina Slutskaya
Yet they will defend the overuse of glitzy costumes for the men. No?There are a few ladies who were seen as "too masculine" and had to try and feminize their styles, eg Midori Ito, Irina Slutskaya
But I think people are getting worried about feminine male skaters because people don't like feminine men. I find that really nasty. Who are we to tell people how to act? There's nothing wrong with being "feminine", whether you're a skater or not!

True, but most of the criticisms for men's costuming are over how "feminine" the costumes are. I'm thinking the Swan costume Johnny wore in 2006, all the talk over that being to swan-princessy, whereas I thought fashionwise it was better than his blue Otonal outfit, which was absolutely heinous but received no nasty comments because it was more "masculine".
Masculine costumes are boring!
I think Scott Hamilton should be put in charge of all men's costume selections.....:
oh no, not another my eyes are dying royal blue.I think Scott Hamilton should be put in charge of all men's costume selections.....:

well all skating fans have the same one you have in mind. Now it seems skating ladies also think the same. It is contagious probably.Well, at least she thinks French male skaters are hot. I wonder if she has anyone in particular in mind.
