gala thoughts:
zignik - macklemore medley in 2026 is a fun choice. she's a star and he seems so sweet with her
selevbro the sexy - was sexy
isabeau - going from isababy to isababe. she's so poised and perfect, i love to see her having fun
f/g - i'm not buying this program. it's quirky, but not fun quirky
kevin - who the fuck freestyles a cantilever? he's delightful
p/m - she's so beautiful. and her beaming smile after almost faceplanting on ice was gorgeous. he looks so much like a trent
lara naki squidmann - i love a weirdo. the disrobing split jump was my favourite moment of the gala. i adore the detailing on the back of her dress, i'm glad she brought it back. i love her commitment to tano jumps. her arms though.
l/b - as i said, i love a weirdo. zhenia's outfit was an incredible approximation of what a cross between a swan and a meringue would look like. also, it turns out you can be a french ice dancer and not evil
shun - my favourite performance of the gala. the music highlights how snappy of a skating style he has. the program is a joy and i really need him to skate to more lindsey stirling
nina - she spin very fast. i'm not a fan of the half-naked look. also why was the music vaguely "a voice"-y?
adam - a gala and we still get an adam special, but at least this time with a smile. he's so fucking fast and powerful. that was also possibly the best backflip i've seen from him, he didn't at all look like it was going to land on his head
yunasumi - i love fun galas and that was very, very fun
amber - look what she can do when she just fucking calms down. but she won't calm down
p2 - i often find them beautiful but boring. i was not bored. i was even delighted.
yuma - i still don't personally connect with his skating, but it's so pleasant to watch nonetheless
mone - i'm so happy she got to show off this beautiful program before the end of the milano quad. i understand why she wasn't invited at the olys, but she should have been invited
gogo - why are we raving in a t-shirt? i don't know, but i think i'm finally joining the gogo train
kaori - i don't even think i watched that, i was crying and there was a gorgeous blur skating around on my screen. i will miss her so much. i don't have words
ilia - the child is trying to thirst trap. i may be too old and too ace for that, but i think it charming #babysfirstthirsttrap. i'm happy he went back to this gala, i hope fear was only an olympic special
