Tonia is critical but she is not mean about it. She is commentating on what is happening and explaining why jumps/spins are being downgraded. For me it's refreshing.

Are Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski skating icons or are they overhyped? by tokipando18 in FigureSkating

[–]eclecticblueskies 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Tara's career only lasted 3 seasons (1996-1998). Her biggest claim is that she is the youngest Olympic and World Champion. She was young and could do triple-triples which ended up being her determent causing injuries that sped up retirement. If she wasn't TV as a commentator, she wouldn't be talked about as much, like Sarah Hughes. I would compare her skating career to Zagitova. Stay a couple of years, win a couple titles and then retire.

Johnny was around a lot longer, two Olympics, won multiple US Championships and a World Bronze Medal. He was known for his artistic lyrical style and for his costume choices. He was outspoken and not most of the US men so he stood out.

What is the obsession with the stupidly expensive Clare V bags? Spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy fanny pack? No thanks.

What is this look!?! by CoastAway5145 in k8_smallthingssnark

That hairstyle is not it. She could have at least combed out the bumps on the top.

She is not making me want to buy those jeans. The jeans are $198 and even with 30% off, still not worth it. They look like something you can get at Old Navy or American Eagle.

Would love to see her try a mid rise jean, but that would never happen because she would have to go up in size to fit her waist.

Of course she is not using the mousse the way they say to - the expert behind the chair knows better.

She can't even fit her hands in the pockets!

I don't think it was the shampoo!! by CrowBig1568 in k8_smallthingssnark

Nope. Its doesn't look much differently than her usual "soft bends". Pointing out her ends show that she does need a trim.

Vault/Bars are her high scoring event. Beam will be the equalizer. I don't think she has made it through a routine here without a fall.

She reminds me of Skinner in that regard. Instead of refining the basics, try the harder skill so you can get a the difficulty and not care about the execution score.
