2025 Skate Canada Rhythm Dance PBP - I'm Too Spooky

[PRlady]

It's so odd because I do not remember pleather or actual leather being that huge of a fashion fabric in the '90s.

It’s more ‘80s. Or, at least, first husband gave me pleather outfit for Christmas one year. It was awful. He was bad at presents.

 

[just tuned in]

I mean, they usually come in pairs.

Ha ha, I mean two different guys, but you knew that.

 

[MacMadame]

Did Emily and Ian have those costumes in France? I feel like I would have remembered them as I think hers is particularly horrible.

And by the way, Mrazeks are using an AI SONG CREATED TO SOUND LIKE BON JOVI if you didn't know yet.

 

[genevieve]

thank you for labeling the scores wedgie data. its government name confuses me.

thank you for noticing! I knew something was off the first 2 weeks and then I was horrified that Wedgie Data would fade into history.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Here at the rink and ready to ROCK for the RD!!!

 

[Jay42]

Kaitlyn Weaver is honestly way too excited about the RD theme for how boring a lot of the programs will actually end up being.

The thing that's the most frustrating about this theme is there's so much iconic music from the 90's but forcing that stupid 120 BPM rule has taken away any real potential for variety and the skaters actually being able to have fun with what they're doing.

I feel like the crimping was more '80s too. But now that I'm getting a better look, it looks like several of the women were passing the crimper around.

oh no this is a terrible choice

 

[peibeck]

Someone must have shared their peanut butter cups with Romain.

I believe so. Emily for sure had the same unitard 2 weeks ago that she's wearing today.

 

[Wyliefan]

Ian with the drama face to start.

Kaitlyn Weaver is honestly way too excited about the RD theme for how boring a lot of the programs will actually end up being.

This belongs in a different closed-off forum probably, but having talked with a few recently retired skaters about the decades dances after discussing on Youtube, they told me Weaver is very in favor of them and defends it to no end

 

[genevieve]

Emily's fake tie gives death in my soul

That should be illegal. Like go to jail illegal.

 

[Wyliefan]

Levels on the twizzles are not great. There wasn't a lot of unison, for one thing.

 

[Karen-W]

I feel like the crimping was more '80s too. But now that I'm getting a better look, it looks like several of the women were passing the crimper around.

Crimping was definitely on its last legs by the early '90s - I graduated HS in '91 and if I were to go through my YB photos, I'm sure there'd be a few girls who were still crimping their hair but not as prevalent as it was 2-3 years earlier when I was a freshman/sophomore in HS.

 

[tony]

That should be illegal. Like go to jail illegal.

Which is why I said all rules about release date being in the 90s go out the window when you can create nonsense like that in 2025, whether the rules say it's okay or not. There is no saving the IDTC at this point.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

It's so odd because I do not remember pleather or actual leather being that huge of a fashion fabric in the '90s.

It was definitely a thing in Europe in the 90s. My other half got himself some fashionable leather jeans in the mid 90s when he was going to a Rude Euro art school. He still has them although they haven’t fit him in a very long time. Oh and he wants to know why there seem to be no 90s techno or industrial music RDs.

 

[peibeck]

What are you looking at? Ian's obviously. Duh!

They should have just gone with Madonna songs, or just restrict to Vogue and make everyone use the same music. It couldn't be any worse.

 

[Rukia]

Those twizzles were a fight to survive

This program is not the worst I guess

 

[marbri]

This team really is having an unfortunate season with the music choices the same as two superior teams.

I get that vibe from her Instagram too when she talks about dance specifically and not her choreography work. I love her as an ice dancer and she seems to be a decent enough human being but her taste in RD themes is terrible and I would like her to expand her horizons a little.

Also unless they can sort out the 2000's copyright issues they've pretty much done all the decades anyway unless they want to start engaging with the 1930's and 40's.

 

[Belsornia]

Something still feels a bit off about Bratti/Somerville’s opening choreo, but it’s not Ian’s fault he has such a baby face; he’s more than old enough to wear a harness and stroke a butt if that’s what he wants to do.

twizzles.

 

[genevieve]

I mean, I didn't hate it. Ian gave good face, as it were

 

[tony]

This team really is having an unfortunate season with the music choices the same as two superior teams.

And in both cases they were backed into that because of late changes.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

B/S had the most irritating flailing arms. Way too distracting since their feet weren't doing much.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

I don’t remember noticing it before when I saw them live, maybe it’s the pants, but Ian has a booty the gayz would kill for
