Shishkova and Naumov were such lovely skaters and I think another example of their unluckiness is how they retired/turned pro just as the pro circuit was just about to dry up once the ISU stepped in and turned most of the events into pro-ams. Still, they were quite successful and had some very...

I don’t have good insight into what can be done specifically for participation, but one thing I’ve been frustrated by is how the USFS/the powers that be have seemingly paid little attention to nor meaningfully tapped into the many moments of recent pop culture relevance the sport has had. A few...

Coachella was originally rescheduled from April to October. It was just canceled and a limited attendance event is being planned for next April. I can’t see a Grand Prix happening.

Josee Chouinard did a program to Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain in 1997. (program starts at 2:10 in this clip) https://youtu.be/2QHKpiPX2bE

Does anyone have intel on rumored hosts for the next SA? Seems a lot of people talking online about the possibility of a return to Vegas but it’s probably just wishful thinking. Personally loved the venue and experience. Seems odd though on-brand for the org that USFS doesn’t immediately...

Sidebar: if anyone coming to town for SA is looking for something different to do outside of the event beyond the normal Vegas stuff, tickets just went on sale for this Tim Burton exhibition at the Neon Museum. http://mentalfloss.com/article/597007/tim-burton-art-exhibit-las-vegas

I’ve also been wondering whether folks like Ashley Wagner, Johnny Weir, Surya Bonaly and Adam Rippon might be able to capitalize on their respective viral attention in recent years by jumpstarting at least one or two pro competitions or even more elevated/artistic (ie not Disson) shows. Still...

Was just listening to the Twin Peaks: The Return soundtrack and was reminded what great short program music this is.. very driving music sort of in the vein of "Radar Love": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E2hkZBVya4 The track is called "Snake Eyes" and the artist is Trouble (a band that...

Kacey Musgraves, Janelle Monae and any Nina Simone that’s not Feeling Good.

Took a look at the Chicago show’s ticket situation after seeing ads during worlds and it appears very, very few tickets have sold. It’s not a big arena and it looks maybe 5% sold. To me, the cast is just too light to consider purchasing tickets. If they’re not going to bring in international...

I just remembered Kristi Yamaguchi did "Natural Woman" during Stars on Ice 1997, but I believe this is the Celine Dion cover. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4kuu

Given the news today, I thought it'd be nice to share clips and memories from Aretha Franklin's various connections with the skating world over the years. She performed in two Disson Skating specials, Aretha Franklin Tribute on Ice (in 2001) and Fashion on Ice (in 2011). I can't find any clips...

Another idea: Although G/P did Bond already, I've always thought a James Bond medley including the main 007 theme, Goldeneye (Tina Turner) and Die Another Day (Madonna) would be a great fit for a dance team -- and I could really see Z/G shining to this.

Seconding this too! Specifically Confessions on a Dance Floor (starting with Hung Up) has never been used and I could see them pulling this off well.

I’d love to see a free dance to a medley from Beyoncé’s self-titled album from 2014: I’m picturing Drunk in Love to start, Superpower or No Angel in the middle, Blow to end. It’s still on the more lyrical edge of things (and could also work as a gala program) but Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Runaway” has...
