Vampires don't wear make up; that's how they naturally look :) It is us, the mortals, who need make up to look like them.

Sounds logical. But the hairstyles? They must use their brushes and combs, if you think that they spend the whole day in the coffin, they have to make some preparations before going to town to enjoy some entertainment... :)

It seems like she was hacked based on an Instagram story by a Team Tutberidze account

Could be.

I assumed ask.fm is relatively safe, since the owner of the account has full control over answering the questions. But like many teenagers, Kostornaya has many accounts, many or perhaps just one password and might not always be careful with her credentials.

Since you can send in your questions anonymously, she could have received nasty and inappropriate messages too.

I for one didn't like the questions trying to find out where she lives and at what hour by which line and stations of Metro she travels. She even wrote something like 'meet me up at Khrustalniy, you can find its address in the telephone directory'.
Those are unsafe things to say or post in her position I would say.

Like we find out dialy on some of those rotten Youtube channels, private conversation, live streams are stolen and abused, ripped out of context and used to discredit the skater and/or attack others. Alyona already has had bad experiences with this.

She may be the chatterbox at the rink but so far she has been very smart about answering any questions about her team mates and trainers.
Alyona is clever and we should respect her privacy and any decision made by or for her with respect to maintain relative silence on her social media.

The vampire and ice palaces saga is fun and inexhaustible, just like years before. :biggrin:

I wonder if her jumps were planned or not :)

I think she did pretty well, all things considering. Being off for over a month and back for only a week isn’t easy, especially when you are growing. Good for her for going for it - she did water her content down somewhat

Only good if she was cleared to do so by coaches and doctors and wasn't risking her body after the injury. But regardless, I was happy to see her.

I would hope that she was cleared by the doctors and coaches because she also did a 3S in the opening, and I’m sure that wasn’t choreographed before the injury.

Alena can skate to everything and make it look good. She was fierce today as a Vampire. :)
