[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Mirai Nagasu, easily.

Her comment during the US International Figure Skating Classic, about watching RuPaul's Drag Race to get in touch with her Inner Queen, was inspired!

 

[rfisher]

Radionova's hair.

 

[meggonzo]

Meagan Duhamel

 

[Aerobicidal]

Tutberidze
Adoniev
Lucie Mysliveckova (she even has a Cabaret program this season)
This picture alone (probably NSFW) should qualify Hendrickx for gay icon and, depending on one's taste, porniest

I think both porniest skater and gay icon need to be gender-inclusive. It's 2017; just because Cappellini and Lanotte are skating the same program they always have doesn't mean we can't evolve.

For some reason viewing this photo, I'm in the mood for BBQ Beef Jerky.

Tutberidze - Fab look and awesome presence, successful....

Poor Ted looks so exhausted here.
The only way he could secure an interview with Lady T was to do seven triples after the two minute mark, all with 'Tano and Rippon variations.

Eteri Tutberidze for the win!

Or Zagitova for skating to “Moonlight” soundtrack combined with “Black Swan” for her short.

Og Zagitova is too young to skate in a tiger body suit, she's too young to win this award

Eteri FTW!
Tsareva as an honorable mention.

We should have porny/icon coach of the year too.

This!
I second the idea for icon coach. Although it's not fair cause Romain Haguenauer wins by default.

 

[briancoogaert]

Vanessa James or Meagan Duhamel !

I really hope Tutberidze doesn't win this award.

Where's LaTuk? I thought she'd be next in line for this year. Also worth considering is Larkyn Austman. Two skaters who are fabulous on social media, disastrous on the ice. (Ok, not always, but both have had their share of fiascos recently.)

How could you forget your boy Rippon?

I’m kind of over Adoniev, even his bathtime fun instagram stories are boring. Gleykengauz is where it’s at these days.

Tutberidze is intriguing and I admit I’m a little obsessed with the wardrobe, bitchface, and facial regimen, but for me, Vanessa James needs to win this.

Honey, what's he going roaming around half naked in Central Park. Looking for the Brambles?

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

I say a nice icon - Vanessa James

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

GOLD: Nagasu (Hands down). Invoking RuPaul? Child, please! Slay!
SILVER: James
BRONZE: Stolbova

Up and coming: Papadakis

 

[allezfred]

Tuktamysheva - girl needs to win something this year....

Nominating Tarah Kayne, Caroline Zhang, Laurine Lecavelier, and Valentina Marchei to get this up to an even 20
