I figured.. tho his caused some comments. That’s why I did not mention a category. Are Junior costumes eligible.. probably not..sorry dear, too plainextra is the key (hers is nice
my partner in crime @labgoat explained already
Yes, through the myriad of WTFedness over history, that one stands out... though I have to also give a nod to the Ilia Kulik giraffe thing, as for the life of us we can't even work out what he is trying to do with the costume let alone how it relates to his music or program. And yep yep yep to...
Yep yep yep.I'd like to nominate Jana Khokhlova for the career award, although it will be hard to beat Weir, especially since it has to be considered that being a woman in ice dance makes it easier to have outstanding costumes. Anyway, she has given too much to the figure skating world to not be considered.
Or, on a second thought, maybe it should be Novitsky?
I nominate them both.

yes they are! no age restrictions, no gender categoriesI figured.. tho his caused some comments. That’s why I did not mention a category. Are Junior costumes eligible.. probably not..
Back to my image file
I have the same dilemma. I have favorite classical skaters, favorites who push boundaries, inspirational skaters like Paul Wylie, OTT skaters such as Jana & Sergei, skaters who creates abstract, subtle and/or impressionist beauty, skaters who live for performance and on and on. Ask me my favorite male skater - Curry, Cranston, Cousins, Orser, Boitano, Wylie, Browning, Petrenko, Barna, Chen, Shoma, Yuzu, Jason, Ilia - all of the above!I have loved this couple for absolutely years they are so OTT it is glorious. (Their skating is also OTT by the way, definitely athletic rather than artistic/beautiful as you can probably tell by the wild poses in all of their stills online
The most beautiful of all time would be a completely different and impossibly unwieldy animal though, due in no small part to our very very different standards on 'beautiful' (I have a folder, there are at least 100 'favourites' in there not counting Yuzu and by being absolutely ruthless I've narrowed his down to a dozen and counting. And then there's Shoma. And Eunsoo and all the Korean girls. And...). Even most beautiful this season would be tough.
Who else would think to wear a volcano shirt for rocketman!
love this name
not sure we can be friends anymore since you didn't mention Patrick
(just being a brat... bored at home, with covid...)
The Elektras…sounds better
I didn’t mention Denis Ten either - probably cause I worked 12 hours! Honestly I was falling asleep as I typed.not sure we can be friends anymore since you didn't mention Patrick
Oh I am so sorry. Feel better.
this is not helping my general feeling. If there is a tragedy in figure skating in these last few years, it's Denis's awful and completely unnecessary murder. 
Hug.
I know - hell, everyone knows - my most dearly loved skater of all time is Yuzu, but like probably most of you I have a folder of favourite competition videos (2120 and counting... to be fair, some are every. single. separate. video. of. that. performance. available.) and if one were to ask for a single defining thread between all the skaters therein, I couldn't tell you to save my life and I doubt anyone else could (I am also not sure if @4everchan will be happy or not to hear that yes, some of Patrick's are in there
).
for the career award you can nominate whoever you want (with pictures), for the other catetories only costumes from this season.I know - hell, everyone knows - my most dearly loved skater of all time is Yuzu, but like probably most of you I have a folder of favourite competition videos (2120 and counting... to be fair, some are every. single. separate. video. of. that. performance. available.) and if one were to ask for a single defining thread between all the skaters therein, I couldn't tell you to save my life and I doubt anyone else could (I am also not sure if @4everchan will be happy or not to hear that yes, some of Patrick's are in there
But I also have a folder of costumes (I am into costuming in general), the great, the good the not too bad and the ohgodwhydidtheyappearinpublicinTHAT (though obviously not the dull, which cut out a lot of men) and that is where the dozen different Yuzu ones are (again and counting, some of the show ones are to die for). If we were to do a 2023-24 competition-only best of, there's a little Chinese couple I really really want to nominate...
I do like the two career ones so far; others had definite lowlights (or highlights in all the wrong but entertaining ways) but not so consistently
Though Domnina and Shabalin, even if there's an argument they should get a nom just for THAT atrocity we all remember alone, have a claim to be pretty dire at other times...
And yet, and yet... my hero, for who FS purists spent years criticising and damning his costumes (I do recall someone claiming they would actually prevent him from ever winning major awards) is now a Gucci ambassador - who would have predicted that 8-10 years ago? - and both his and Shoma's sparkly spectaculars are regularly in exhibitions and dearly loved. So maybe we should be a leeeetle cautious in lowering the fashion boom lest the future lowers it on us... Nah. Where's the fun in that?
