I try my best to forget. And those outfits :hslap:

Did everyone forget Kaetlyn Osmond's elevator Cleopatra from Sochi?

@Ruga linked to Kaetlyn's program in post #3:thumbsup:

That costume was tragic.

Which one was worse?

Micki Ando 2010 Worlds https://youtu.be/kPjbCqCACM0
Micki Ando 2010 Olympics https://youtu.be/r5nLQSNfj-Y (At least I like the color of this one better)

Other Cleopatra themed programs-
Laurine Lecavalier 2018 Skate America https://youtu.be/g58hcANSbgk
Katelyn Osmond 2014 Olympics https://youtu.be/oJCW8hLHyFA

phaneuf deserved a medal with that skate!

She skated so beautifully and memorably. I loved how happy she was in the kiss and cry.

Sort of thought of Jill Trenary too with the Walk like an Egyptian arms from 1990 choreographed by Renee Roca https://youtu.be/0eTF9_sTuME

Which sounds a lot like Renee Roca & James Yorke from 1988...recycling some music I see. Thankfully Jill's outing was an improvement. https://youtu.be/Dp9MJDZ8TCA

And going further down the rabbit hole for another favorite ( I just love them)
1985 Karen Barber & Nicky Slater https://youtu.be/G70rLvtUBfk

1992 Worlds - even Kurt Browning was not immune. One of the weirdest costume malfunctions during the footwork sequence too. The program was doomed.

Hopefully I've entertained you and given you some material for later when we see Alina & Danny G's version.

Wondering if Igor S, Gorsha, or Elena Krikanova (Evgeni Platov's partner as Jr World champs) are in the Russian All-Stars number. I was blessed as an adult beginning dancer to have had a lesson from all three and learned so much that my US teachers tried to tell me was wrong...

Thanks for this, i wondered if someone was actually successful with a Cleopatra program. Osmond's program was bad. Miki Ando's is the same. I like the most Phaneuf because of the vibe, the music and Tuktamysheva because of the "image" (but her program is so empty...).

I hope Alina will get something more like Anna Shcherbakova 2015 LP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrl8Zvw5Rf4 - no over the top egyptian hands, lovely music and costume. I don't expect some "real" representation of Cleoptra, rehabilitating her image is not Alina's, Daniil's or Eteri's job or goal. I just wish for a captivating program!:pray:

It isn't cleopatra but this one by Oksana Bauil is set to 'The feeling begins', which they'll be using in Alina's program.

Alina's EX with the candle reminded me of this actually, wonder if a similar feeling to this was what they were going for.

I would like to ban the use of Cleopatra Hands from all skating, especially those programs that are vaguely Indian or Oriental (a term I am using deliberately in this case), and have absolutely no historical or even logical connection to Cleopatra in any way, shape, or form.

Or maybe not. I can use the laughs.
