THE HISTORY OF MAOSUS PROGRAMS PART 2

[safina_chos]

Hai BBs! Butting in the Tiger patterned trolling~

Do you remember Mao costume/program post I did for her 21th birthday?
WELL, THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF IT, FOCUSING AROUND HER SENIOR ERA!
Sorry for taking so long, I've got carried away by tennis in recent weeks. XD

I hope you'll have fun with it while waiting for Skate America. :)

Clair de Lune! the music, dress all quintessential Mao. Her crossfoot biellman-kerrigan spiral is really exquisite there and makes me forget how awful most catchfoot spirals are! It doesn't look as good in her other programs tho.
I also love Nocturne and Ballade; Mao + Chopin = perfect!

costume-wise, I really like anytime she wears lavender/lilac/purple. and hate all of her black+bright red/blue crisscrossy/skeleton things.

she really really needs to ask Alissa for advice on matching illusion mesh!

Mao + Chopin = perfect!

AGREED!

Haha, I often wonder why she always wears those wrong colored illusion mesh. It almost makes me think it's her charm or something. /o\

OMG she's skating to Scheherezade?!? How did I not know this? I'm going to blame it on the lack of info this off-season. But I am so excited to see it!!

[skate_soar_fly]

OMG I like it already. TY!!

[unimagine]

lol I basically agree with everything buranko said above re: Mao's programs. Although I will forever have a soft spot for Bells of Moscow, her faces during that program were fierce.

All the Ladies in Lavender costumes are great and so are the Clair de Lune ones, also Csardas and the red Fantasie Impromptu. Por Una Cabeza is flawfree. Haters gonna hate, I like the black Masquerade Waltz dress and the red Bells of Moscow too.

Ugh I can't with her SP costumes from last season though, TAT Y U DO DIS

THANK YOU FOR THE POST BB BRB ROLLING AROUND IN IT FOR A WHILE <3

The step sq of Bells of Moscow is amazing, something to die for!

I love all of your choices for Mao costume! And IA to Schnittke Tango costumes /o\ I think 4CC one is pretty but not suited for the program. Le sigh.

Glad you like this BB<3

MAO + CHOPIN = WINNING COMBINATION. EVERY TIME.

Okay, first of all, <3 OVER THE RAINBOW WITH THE DOG! ASDJKF;J;LKJ SO CUTE!!!!! *___*

Chopin’s Etude Op. 10 No. 3 is my all-time favorite of Chopin, so naturally I love her “So Deep Is the Night” exo. My one criticism (which has nothing to do with Mao): I hate that there’s a vocal version to Chopin’s etude. The piece is so pretty on its own, those stupid vocals are interfering with Chopin's masterpiece.

Technically I’m impressed by everything she does - she’s the master of the triple axel. I was super impressed by her jumps in her Fantaisie-Impromptu and her Masquerade Waltz free skates.

Favorite Programs (Besides “all of them” because that’s kind of a given)
SP: Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, Claire de Lune
FS: I loved Liebestraume for its emotion and it’s my second favorite of hers. My No 1 favorite is Bells of Moscow, hands down. So fierce, so powerful, so PASSIONATE. LOVE IT!
EX: Ballade No. 1 by Chopin, So Deep Is the Night

Favorite CostumesThe baby pink costume for the Chopin Nocturne piece, Claire de lune (blue ver.), Bells
