Olympic Ice Dancing: Fab and Fabber

These ladies discuss the woes of figure skating fashion. Topics include:

The first tramp stamp to be showcased in skating costumes:

A program dedicated to Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes?:

So how cute are candian Ice dancing pair Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir?

Here they are skating to Pink Floyd last year:

Am stoked that their compulsory dance was recieved so well.

After last night they sit in second place behind the Russians.

Who, though not my favorite, really set the standard:

Can't seem to ever enjoy a Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto performance.

Feel like under the sequins Tanith is a super uptight beyotch:

They're into fourth place just behind the other americans Charlie Davis

and Meryl White in third. Think Davis and White are more tolerable.

Or maybe I'm just biased because of the bollywood routine

they'll be performing in sunday night's original dance.

A note about tonight's free skate

Down with Mullets.

Pairs short program recap

So, anybody else think the Ukrainian's costumes were hilarious?

Skating to "Dreams Illusions" it would appear that they were asking, nay begging for a Blades of Glory sequel to be made about them.

Loved this:

And this:

Thought this was a little under appreciated. For a clean program and all. Perhaps I'm just a sucker for the Love Actually soundtrack:

On second look, I think not.

Hopefully here are your winners:

Felt a little confused about more than one score last night. Makes me want to blame this new scoring system. On the 6.0 scale it was very straight forward. But now it is so complex that even fans like myself have a hard time understanding the scores. The idea was to limit cheating but it seems like all it has done is disguise the judges' bias. Makes me kind of miss this:

Even if it is total cheese, I loved this program. At least we knew the judges had cheated.

Here is a link with the detailed score breakdowns.

James Cameron

I'm not sure how I feel about James Cameron's new look:

I asked tash to help me describe this...atrocity. She sent me a couple hilarious texts, but my favorite by far was:

"The Founding Fathers meet Sarah Hughes"

What do you think? Write your own description in the comments!

Thank you very much, Jane Campion

original screenplay or not, your version of John Keats and Fanny Brawne's relationship was breathtaking.

For tash

Its been a little while since I've been on here. I'm sure all five or six of you who read this have missed my attempts at being clever and witty. I wish I could update you all with interesting tidbits about love and life but I've pretty much been studying, working and sleeping. Oh, I must mention I got to go to Dallas two weeks ago with Kimball to see President Uctdorff. He is surprisingly tall and surprisingly a fan of Harry Potter as he quoted Dumbledore in his talk. Joe and Katy were excellent hosts and have the very cutest kids. Lately I've been a bit busy trying to nurse my immune system back to health. I went to the doctor about a month ago after feeling like crap for a week (high fever, throat pain, exhaustion). As it turns out I didn't have mono, but a mono-like illness. What is that? I have no idea. I wonder if the doctor made up the term on the spot to make me feel better. But I haven't been feeling better; at that time or for almost a month since. I'm tired all the time (and I'm usually an energetic person), fever on and off, and throat pain. Cami, my big sister had mono in highschool. I remember her sleeping a lot. When I found out what I had I texted her to ask what she felt like. She said: "I felt like crap all the time!" This is what your tonsils look like with mono:

The good news is I'm feeling better.
