Welcome to the Figure Skating Fashion Deathmatch! Whoops, wrong post! :D I guess I've gotten used to making these on Monday.
Still, I can inform you that the winners of
The Worst Skating Outfit Platinum Challenge are our favorite race!faily pseudo-Aboriginals Oksana Domnina & Maxim Shabalin, with 54% of the votes. Brian Joubert's Ewok outfit is in second place and Ashley Wagner takes the bronze.
SO WHAT IS THIS POST REALLY ABOUT? EVAN LYSACEK. EVAN LYSACEK SHIFTING AWAY FROM HIS 2006 CUTE DORK PERSONA. IN THIS INTERVIEW FROM 2007, OUR BRO:
- visits Eli's Cheesecake's production site and snacks on their desserts
- wants to make a "double layer whoopie"
- talks about his desire to land a quintuple jump
- mentions his archrival Johnny Weir and the fact that Johnny's fans send him hatemail
- disapproves of the spandex, glitter, costumes and music that come along with figure skating
- mentions that he and Tanith are trying to include figure skating in the X-Games (*INSERT EPIC EYEROLL HERE*)
- is asked if he could ever pull a Tonya Harding on Johnny Weir backstage (WHUT)
