I dont think it was a coincidence. JMO.
I'm still over the moon that I suggested that piece of music for them (it was a piece that I loved before I knew what After the Rain was) and then they ended up using it the next season. It's all a coincidence, but that never happens to me.
Where did you suggest it? to know where to go to leave my suggestions
^^ I always thought the Shibs might have checked out the Hip Hop thread in Trash and been inspired by my random idea for hip hop music selection: a Frank Sinatra hip hop mix

wow, her hair looks so fabulous in that picture!!. I don´t love the look of Alex, he looks soooo young in that picture.
I just have a feeling you are well known in ShibSibLand.
LOL. I doubt they think so. You are as passionate about their success as they are. I think you are a shadow member of Team Shib.I really hope not because I sound like a crazy person.
^^ Judging panels should be neutral, independent and unbeholden, not to mention non-corruptible. But that's like asking for the moon and getting a kick in the a#!
I guess China and Canada will do well in team comp? Canada of course may very well win gold. With good pairs and good men, but lagging a bit in ladies and ice dance, China could break even. U.S., Russia, Japan will battle for the other team podium spots.
Under draw 'disappointments,' IN forgot to list U.S. pairs being wuzrobbed by the rules. That's too bad about Michael Christian Martinez only making first alternate for the Olympics. I always enjoy watching him skate.
I don't know enough about the ice dance judges from the chosen countries to comment on that panel.
The pool of judges have been drawn for the Olympics:

Any thoughts?
It's funny reading my post now. Only @topaz and kwanoverrated liked my suggestion at that time though you and @Coco liked my subsequent posts defending my suggestions haha. I even said they should consult with Asian-American hip hop crews and do hip hop for the SD. I know they ended up consulting with Quest Crew and Aye Hasegawa because of their connection with Dante Brasco, so that wasn't me, but I love that a lot of my suggestions came to fruition even if I had nothing to do with it other than having some cosmic meeting-of-the-minds with them.

i think skaters (or their parents/friends/coaches) read these boards to get updates on rivals or simply on the skating world. all of them are young people with computers and smartphones, raised in the internet-obsessed era ( :
every person is different but if i were them i would keep an eye on a thread about myself ( :
well, luckily Shibs have a safe zone in here ( : Tessa for example was regularly called "fat", not sure if it ever happened on fsu (probably yes), and she herself addressed the issue joining a campaign. so yes it seems she's aware, anyway i hope she's somehow able to get some little love from here as well (,:
I expect that the usual politicking among federations conspiracy theories will abound, especially in ice dancing. I would love to see a MAJOR upset in this event since the skating boards have been predicting that only one medal, the bronze, is up for grabs. The rest has been preordained by the skate gods .
This is what makes me angry. It's one thing to express favour/'disfavour' to a certain athlete, but it should be done in a polite way. I don't think that any athlete spends much time by reading all the comments, but it's inevitable for him/her to read some. And sometimes it doesn't take much, one comment full of hatred may be enough for one to doubt his/her skills, appearance, etc. This issue is probably the drawback of being a successful athlete, I guess. Especially of those who are on the top of their game. Yet it doesn't make it any less terrible.well, luckily Shibs have a safe zone in here ( : Tessa for example was regularly called "fat", not sure if it ever happened on fsu (probably yes), and she herself addressed the issue joining a campaign. so yes it seems she's aware, anyway i hope she's somehow able to get some little love from here as well (,:
Is that a bit of the LP music?!?!? I'm desperate for anything at this point.New vlog https://youtu.be/tYOOJsbXY8s?t=215

Maia looks great with the new dress . I always wanted them to show something of how they design their costumes .

I’m watching Six By Sondheim, a documentary on Broadway legendary composer Stephen Sondheim and there’s a part where he’s talking about his mentor Oscar Hammerstein and the present he gave him as he was on his death bed, and then it segues into Sondheim speaking about Sunday in the Park with George and the backing score is “Spiegel im Spiegel”. It really is a beautiful piece of music. I’m glad the Shibs used it and had that top performance at 4CC where it seemed to come together for them. I’m glad that the Shibs are mentioned in that piece’s Wikipedia page. I swear I did not edit it to include them, haha.
