When you double down you really double down :eek:

I mean, you’re a grown adult and a self proclaimed costume expert. If you haven’t figured out how to express your dislike of a costume without talking about a skater’s body, maybe that’s a you problem.
Don't be so dense. If you're incapable of recognizing how fabric is cut and pieced together can look drastically different on different body types then that's certainly a you problem. I pointed out how the high waist makes her look boxy - which it does. As far as the skirt - my issue was with the length - having the hem hit at the widest point of your hips is going to accentuate that. These aren't difficult concepts to grasp unless one is being deliberately obtuse.

I did not say that Oona was boxy or that she was heavy - I was pointing out how the design of the costume gave the appearance, to my eye, of looking boxier & bigger than she is.

Wonder why Madison was looking so grumpy there? Maybe she didn't know the camera was on her but that was not a happy face!

Rotational Lift 4

Solid skate with no glaring error, but no the strongest skating of the event. The program is well within their wheelhouse, and makes it easy for the judges to go with them.

84.77 = 1st Place

Awww. Look how many excuses you have to be both wrong and a complete jerk. My shock is 0% that you can’t possibly muster up a single ounce of kindness to anyone.

Also, literally no one agrees with you on Oona. Maybe you need to examine your biases.
 
@tony right now Johny Weir talking about how twizzles from Chock and Bates are kind of the benchmark for ice dance

Well they showed the ones from the french juniors here previously as comparison
 
I pointed out how the high waist makes her look boxy -
Except the first thing I thought when they skated out is "oh, her costume shows off her small waist." And the skirt blended in with the tights during most of the movements so its length is irrelevant.

Yes, there are principles, but like with all artistic endeavors, it's also subjective. I would say, given how many of us thought this costume was cute and flattering, that your subjective opinion is definitely a minority one.

As he once said live on hot mic, ‘I don’t know shit about ice dance!’

And this is a true story. Not a ha ha sarcasm comment.
 
I love the color of Christina's new dress, but it looks more like what pairs or singles women use for their programs. Can't put my finger on why.

First of all, I expressed an opinion. Others are free to disagree with it. Secondly, I wasn't being a jerk and I point blank told another poster in the arena that I have no doubt she looks good in person. We'll just leave it at that before one of the Admins tells us to take it out of the pbp thread, though.
