I love it!

The ladies look so tiny next to the Obamas. Emily always looked about 5'10" on ice next to Evan. Sometimes I forget how short so many of the athletes are. I think I wasted my shortness by not pursuing ice skating or gymnastics.

The men are on a riser too- so some of them are not so tall either.
I definetly wasted my shortness... if I knew how to jump, Rockne would be calling me, without a doubt.

I didn't realize the guys were on a riser--but I never realized just how petite the girls are; I always thought of Tanith as statuesque but certainly not compared to Michelle Obama. How wonderful to be in the White House with the Obamas.

tanith would've probably looked a lot more statuesque, even next to michelle, if she were wearing heels and a dress

Meryl comes out of that looking like the tallest lady. Applause to her!

It really does feel like a crime, not having her around.

Saturday is finally here!!!…excited about the Smucker's Gala on TV today.

**shan** · 02-02-2013, 09:04 PM

I love the new exhibition!! I cant wait for the entire show to be posted on IN. For those who attended, did the champions do encores?

**literaryfreak** · 02-02-2013, 10:11 PM

That was beautiful, like a country-folk waltz. I think I even saw a step from the Midnight Blues CD, but maybe it's accidental. My favorite part is the first minute or so, which TABFan so kindly taped for us.

Did something go wrong with the "spin" (it was after the DF straight line lift) - it looked like they missed grabbing hands and couldn't get in rotations, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be?

I hope this shows up on youtube sometime soon. It shows off their improved chemistry (and step sequences!) so well.

No, there weren't any encores. Competitions in the US never seem to do them! They just did the usual group bows at the end and throwing of goodies into the audience.

Did they show the dancing at the beginning? My local channel cut off the first hour for cartoons.

What time did it come on? I thought it was listed for 4 - 6pm on NBC today. The time scheduling must have been changed. Golf is on NBC in my area now.

When is the Exhibition supposed to be posted on IN?

It looks like she is wearing heels with her pants.

Could someone who receives the magazine possibly scan the interview that's inside?

I just realized that they are interviewing each other in this issue.

Hoping for some not-so-mainstream Q's.

Love that cover photo!!

I also love this article from Jackie Wong:

And the 2013 Dougies go to ....

at Meryl and Charlie's "award".

**circuscandy** · 02-04-2013, 02:41 AM

Finally got to see the new exhibition today. I adore it! It really displays how far they've come even within this past season. Pretty astounding, really.

And my ears were so happy to be free from Adele. It seems so long ago that I loved Someone Like You

**~tapdancer~** · 02-04-2013, 03:12 AM

Love Meryl and Charlie's Dougie award! Yes, they've been our skate goddess and god for quite some time now!

**comickiwi** · 02-04-2013, 05:20 AM

I'm on pins and needles waiting to see the new exhibition...can't find it anywhere....dying here...aaarrrhh...
