Guys, I am ALL ABOUT Natalia Zabiiako's styling this year. I loved the weird medieval goth costumes yesterday, I love the modern goth costumes today, this is SO much better than last year's bland ballet stuff.

Wait, they're still ahead of the Russians?

Uh, I hate that Gatsby program, but that disaster should not have been enough to keep them ahead.

Nicole and Matteo were off today. It's always a pleasure just to gaze at him, though. :)

I finally figured out what seems off-putting to me, adn always has. Nicole keeps her head tipped back/ chin up always; it comes across to me as a little snooty. Whew, I am so glad to have figured it out. Also, I'm not crazy about the jerks with which she gets into some positions.

On a positive note .... I saw during early warm up one of Tae Ok's touches that I love and so makes a difference. At the end of her jumps, she raises her chin, just for a second. It makes her look into the audience and sell the jump. It seems, for me at least, a little of that goes such a long way!

This program was a mess and yet they received 64+ in PCS, whereas Boikova/Kozlovski received 61 last week for absolutely perfect? That is just... I have no words for that.

Well, the Russians should be 1,2... but the judges wanted "diversity".... I hate political correctnes.
