Also, watch Ilia's exhibition, it's a hoot! The girls screamed, I laughed my head off. He clearly got my memo saying he should lean into his heartthrob era instead of trying to sell niche merch #GPFRA ⛸️

Also, the french audience is not much into plushies but the ONE plushie on the ice after Andrew Torgashev's FS was a pizza slice 😀🍕🍕 #GPFRA ⛸️

3) Chatting with Adam's mum! She is so sweet and happy to talk about being Adam's mum. She was manning his merch stand and i guess it worked i bought something. I love her! So happy for Adam he has normal parents, she just leaves him to do his thing and just minds his funny merch

2) Small talk with Tessa Virtue. Long story, Angers is a small town, at first i didnt realise who i'd just exchanged pleasantries with then i was like Wait... HOLY COW!

Some folks have FEELINGS about Angers but i just had a good time. My 3 highlights: 1) getting a selfie with Ilia. We had to be pretty shameless to acost him but we reckoned we needed to do it before he fully embraces his rockstar era #GPFRA ⛸️

This hero held up her TRUST SURVIVOR sign from FB/C skating in to results. Bet the tv camera that loves audience faces didn't include her in the broadcast! #GPFRA #GPFIGURE

It's a plague of biblical proportions

I've never been a particular fan of the Italians but now I'm full throatedly behind them. Revenge skate your BEST, Charlene and Marco! #GPAFRA ⛸️

She was also holding court backstage yesterday with a group of young people seated round her listening to her (the backstage diner is glass fronted). I know we all knew she's not cancelled but ☠️☠️ GPFRA ⛸️

Eteri is at dance practice ☠️☠️ #GPFRA ⛸️

Verily tis an (Egyptian) plague of orientalism of Biblical proportions #GPFRA dance practice 😖⛸️

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 3d

Also, too much Bocelli (so many more MUCH better opera singers) ⛸️ #GPFRA

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 3d

Why this sudden plague of orientalism? 😖⛸️ #GPFRA

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 3d

I teared for him a bit (and no one else of course)

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 3d

Ok now that she is a GP champion people need to stop calling her Amy. It's AH-mi ⛸️ And definitely not Amy Naki

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 3d

Pairs practice was a better watch than the competition:-( Riku / Ryuichi save us! #GPFRA

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 4d

Those were NOT borrowed boots yesterday. No idea then why he didn't runthrough.

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 4d

Ok I'm happy to report it's Not a Mullet and in fact perfectly normal coloured hair even

Ok everyone don't hate on me pl. But objectively FB/C looked amazing to me in practice. The power, speed and artistry. Though F/G's FD is surprisingly good. But I couldn't take G/F's RD seriously #GPFRA ⛸️

I'm not sure i can vouch for non-mullet. But the colour seemed normal and to me it was all just normal for a young man who likes Expressing Himself. I'll try to pay more attention to his hair I realise that's the most important task of today 😅

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 4d

Actually in real life it's not bad. I didn't notice anything untoward when I saw him at close quarters, neither cut nor colour seemed off to me. I think this photo just came out weird

Said excited screaming schoolkids at pairs practice. Adorable! They'll be trying to toss each other in the schoolyard tomorrow #GPFRA ⛸️

This is really cute the rink is full of extremely excitable kids for the pairs practice. Screams upon landed simple jumps!! #GPFRA ⛸️

Serendipity 🌻 @serendipity55.bsky.social · 5d

Well that was the most boring practice ever. We listened to (absent) French men's music than Ilia stroked through his runthrough (i think i heard he lost his bag borrowed skates could be why; but dont quote me i could be wrong) #GPFRA ⛸️

None of the French men are at practice. What is going on? #gpfrance ⛸️
