Those got e's still.
Speaking of costuming, just looked up Jeremy Abbott's LP music because I didn't understand his costume. (La Vita e Bella by Nicola Piovani) "Life is Beautiful" ... split-personality outfit ... yeah, I don't get it. I liked his skating, but the grimace on his face from taking the ice to the kiss-and-cry was a little out of context.
When I saw the disconnected jacket collar and the black-vs-white bodice, I expected some sort of tango-with-myself routine. Who was it that used to do the exhibition or show routine where he skated as a woman when viewed from the left and as a man from the right?
Abbott's back still doing his mime routine in the K&C. Uh, Jeremy? There are microphones - just say "Hi and I Love You" instead of trying to get out of the shrinking box. One of my kids yelled at him to "sit on his hands."

I think the judges just didn't get Sawyer's free program this year. It's like Shawn's got to wear the full Mad Hatter outfit and hit the judges over their heads for them to get it. Here's hoping that Shawn has more of the Mad Hatter costume for GP Skate Canada this week.
The outfit you're discussing is for his SP, not for his LP. His LP is the vest and dresspants with shirt and tie combo. But, yep, the short one is weird, if the collar on the suit jacket didn't stick up in the back it wouldn't be so bad.Hmmm... UniSports may have shown both and perhaps I am mixing them up. His SP music is a tango, which makes sense. I'll have to pay attention to his next competition.
