Here's the youtube link that showed up for me of her interview/press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXfOpauEXHE

Hmmm. I was expecting that of course she would go, but with all the whirlwind of events she's been doing since the Olys, I wondered if she was going to get the ice time she would need to be ready. Maybe she's wondering that, too. :lol:

For the young-uns, Instagram is an indicator of popularity, whereas for us olds I don't think it pertains. :p But if it counts for ticket sales and bringing in new figure skating fans: Alysa has 7.1. million followers, Ilia is next with 1.6 million, then Amber with 1.4 million, and Chock and...

I saw at least ten SOI shows that season. The Florida shows were a fun road trip with Gerry (Milanessa :wuzrobbed ). From looking at my review notes, Sarah skated to Eva Cassidy's "Over The Rainbow" and Tamyra Gray's "Raindrops Will Fall." :p

Sarah Hughes was definitely on Stars on Ice. I saw many, many shows in that era and she was in them.

Methinks SOI powers-that-be should be thanking their lucky stars for Alysa Liu. ;)

Based on what I've seen so far, I don't think she'd be satisfied with just shows. There is a real difference in intensity when she's competing and when she's just doing a show. I've seen her live under both scenarios and to me the difference is obvious. She's an adrenaline junkie and the shows...

Has anyone else watched Season 2 of "The Night Manager" on Amazon Prime? I didn't pay attention to how many episodes there were and that there would also be a season 3 or I wouldn't have been so shocked they ended on a cliffhanger. :lol: I hope it's not a four year wait for Season 3. :p

To show how much ticket sales are affected by the Olympics exposure, I bought my San Jose seat when it first went on sale, but I idly checked the website from time to time to see how sales were going. There were plenty of seats left in the lower bowl just before the Olympics. After the Olympics...

I wonder how many tubes of Rare Beauty lip gloss Alysa has sold for Selena Gomez? :lol: I really liked her lip color and wondered what lipstick it was. I need wonder no more because internet sleuths identified it. :lol: I may have ordered one since my favorite Urban Decay lipsticks are on their...

I think Ilia usually believes he's competing against himself and what he wanted was to achieve a repeat of the seven quads from the GPF on Olympic Ice to cement his place in history. And I think that led to his unraveling when things started to go wrong. Instead of focussing on what he could do...

I don't think it's because the skater skated to it (at least not in my case) - it's because you were introduced to an artist you didn't know and liked what you heard. When Katia Gordeeva skated to Jesse Cook music, I bought the music because I loved it. Same with Michelle when she skated to...

Alysa is cracking me up with her hair. :lol: I swear it looks different every single day.

Because of the middle-of-the-night times for the west coast for the team rhythm dance, pairs short, and women's short, I was going to sleep in and watch Peacock replays unspoiled. But now that it looks like Alysa might be skating her short program (if we can trust the TV promo :p ), I will have...

Tracy is a good choice. I'm glad they are going to have an ice dance analyst since Tara and Johnny certainly aren't.
