Saw this on the Manleywoman Skatecast's Facebook page:


Cosmopolitan Magazine
"26 Figure Skaters Who Look Like They're Having Sex"

Warning: It's an image slideshow of pairs/ice dancers, no witty captions or naming of names.  +GOE if you recognize Randy Gardner and Tai Babilonia.

Cosmo has recently become a vice of mine, along with drinking Coca-Cola - I don't drink alcohol, smoke or take drugs, so it's all good, lol.
Snark: I was surprised they didn't include some solo skaters grabbing themselves, doing peep-show spirals, A-frame spins or the best - in-air facial expressions that mimic ecstasy.

This is what the ISU gets when they focus on points for extreme positions rather than the grace and flow of skating.

OMG!  That, is just soooo wrong.  It reminds me of a "funnY" motivational poster of a figure skating pair.   It had a picture, like those, and read, "No matter how hot your partner is, you're gay."  (or something like that).

I'm not sure about some of those positions, but they sure look happy.

Google: "demotivational figure skating" for some interesting posters.
