One of the women skaters last night wore yellow. You almost never see them wear yellow. It was so cheering to me, somehow. An errant, early daffodil. Lovely.
But Irina Slutskaya, the favorite for gold, wore a ONESIE! Apparently, the women can now wear THE DREADED SKATER ONESIE!! Irina’s was a smoky grey get-up with rhinestone fireworks exploding furiously across her chest. I sobbed at the sight of it.
I rather like her, but this, this new onesie concession, is a deeply disturbing development. Why, God, WHY? What does it all mean??
It should mean Instant Disqualification. Stripping of all titles. A Gillooly to the knees. And finally, demotion to a career lumbering around the ice in a bear costume as the very BEST Baloo “Disney On Ice” ever had!
Call me old-fashioned. I like the women skaters to look like women. And I like the men skaters to look like men, if possible. And I don’t like anyone to look like an ASS which is exactly what happens with The Onesie.
You hear me, Baloo??
Hilarious, we felt exactly the same watching it but you say it so much better!
whoa – i heard that over in WI. hope she caught it in italy, because i too share your sentiments.
and no big hair. little bodies and pretty people should not do big hair. (i know hers was straight and fairly short, but it is too wide, too much for her little frame)
