If i were an olympic skater...

i would make sure that the nude netting of my costume and tights match my actual skin color. 

Then, i would watch this video of peggy fleming for inspiration.  no visible sequins or flowing strips of shredded fabric necessary.

  1. Seriously, Erin. That chick from Hungary had some serious issues with her not-so-flesh-colored arms. So weird looking. Love you, friend.

  2. And the cute as pie American and her toast colored legs. Blech. I think The Skating World is full of such enigmas that we, the uninitiated, will never understand.

  3. Wow, the video of Peggy Fleming was actually enjoyable to watch. The ridiculous "costumes" that they were today are just such a distraction at best and offensive at worst (see the Russian skating couple).
    Whenever I see the couples skating, I just sit there wondering, as long as they're out there on the ice anyway, why aren't the guys playing hockey instead? Like why would you rather prance around on the ice in a fancy costume when you could be playing hockey? Some things just don't make sense to me.
