Miss Gracie Elizabeth Gold the kitten insists on being held at all times. Makes it hard to type.

It will be tough watching this competition sober, but it's nearly midnight and I have to get up for the dogs tomorrow morning.

midnight is the perfect time to open a bottle, it's also Saint Martin day today, when the new wine is ready

 

[moonvine]

Ooh @moonvine. Mark extolling the virtues of Jimmy's skating qualities!

And Mark is quite correct to do so. What's wrong with Lucas' skates?

 

[4everchan]

does Lucas get a nomination for the algae growing on his arms?

i was going to say that he got this made same place as levito's... and then looking further... it's even worse than her white crow dress...

no need for nomination. he goes directly to the GPF of WTF costumes

 

[Jumping_Bean]

That 1T was actually kind of cool-looking

 

[elektra blue]

Algae or thorns?

more like algae and needles judging by his skate

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

My cats must have been high on catnip when they made Lucas's costume.

he's in top 5

At least it isn't solid black.

 

[4everchan]

lucas has nice lines. I just want to shred his costume into pieces, just to leave the black part of it.

Had I known what I do now about Lucas' boot problems, I would have reevaluated my thoughts on him staying junior yesterday. He has so many senior qualities, and I think these skates have been a reflection of equipment issues more so than skating talent. It was a rough skate, but I like the program and his quality is so evident. I'm certain we will see great things from him later on

they were craving sea food there's also a net

I want it solid black.

Lucas. Much better program than his shirt. Really good spins, a couple of pops, but still a decent skate.

 

[YuBluByMe]

That wasn’t a good skate from Broussard. I think he’s one of the best skaters at this competition - top two or three - but he moved up to seniors too soon. Another year would have benefited him.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww no poor Lucas broke his blade and had to get a new one, what rotten luck!

Although he's got a Beilmann nice.

madame, i love your choices and i support them (now you're a man and i've been assuming you were a woman for all these years...)

No, I'm a she/her, but I do support gender equality in drinking therapy

 

[moonvine]

I want it solid black.

Why even get a costume in that case? Go to Walmart and get a black shirt and black pants. I want sequins.

Yes, by 'thorns' I meant cactus' thorns

His thorns/needles are clearly growing... causing many balloons jumps to pop
Still that bielmann spin is gorgeous!!

 

[Sai Bon]

That was a brave performance by Lucas.
