Just curious as to how much you pay for a haircut in the U.S.? I'm old enough to remember when I had to only pay $5 ! Then after a couple of years it was $20. Now it cost me $50. I do not have complicated hair; My haircut is very straightforward and takes no more than 15-20 minutes, depending...

I think Fratianne's 76 LP was really the only good LP that she had. Her performance at the 76 National was outstanding (there's only a grainy video of it though) and also very good at Worlds that year. Unfortunately it kinda went downhill from there for her in term of being able to improve on...

The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth - Michelle Kwan

The online hatefulness directed at Snow White and its star Rachel Zegler is really sad to see. I hope families with little kids will support the film this weekend. The new song "Waiting On A Wish" is very catchy, if a bit too familiar; Zegler has a great voice and sings the heck out of it.

A true legend in the world of figure skating in every sense of the word. One in a million. Thanks for the memories. RIP Uncle Dick. "Good For You, Lucinda Ruh!"

If you have to hold your leg up with your hand then does it really count? Hmm.... Kristi's spiral was merely adequate and no where in the league of Michelle, Sasha, Bobeck.

Watch videos of past skating competitions, of course! I don’t have the patience or attention span anymore to sit through an entire film either in the theatre or via streaming.

I don't want to see any skater on competitive ice skating to "feel sorry/pity for me" music after some having gone through some personal issues. Leave it off ice or for exhibitions, please.

Can Ilia's costume designer please either make his shirt a onesie or change the top of his costume? The shirt tail became undone here as it did also at Lombardia earlier. Distracting and it gave a sloppy look on the ice. Not crazy about either of Naumov's programs this season, or his Tron costume.

Every skater has to go through a period of adjustment after a growth spurt. Levito isn't falling down left and right on the ice, and she had a very good SP. It's too early to proclaim that she "has outgrown her current technique."

It was very nice seeing Alysa back on competitive ice, and her performance has matured. Having said that, I don't see an "IT" factor in her skating that would automatically put her above the other top U.S. ladies if they go clean. Her SP performance was nice and pleasant, not exceptional. I'd...

My late father had a friend who would always ask me "What did you learn today that you didn't learn yesterday?" every time he saw me when I was growing up. It used to drive me crazy, LOL. Anyway, I learned today that when I snipped off the head of a praying mantis, its body was still capable of...

And Lil' Kim was a sweetheart when she was on the show too. I was quite surprised how soft spoken, funny and sweet she was; I had prejudged her to be quite the opposite.

You can make the same argument about any skater who seems to have hung around "forever", i.e. like Jason Brown. I don't believe in forced retirement for any athlete. Compete as long you want and able to until you want to retire.

In what ways do you think she has improved skating-wise ? Nice to see her back doing what she loves, but her skating looks stiff (she doesn't bend her knee on the landings), and overall uninspired, IMO. But I haven't really liked any of the skating that I've seen so far from The Shanghai...
