Looking at myself in the mirror, gripping the sink with force, chanting: ”You will grow to like Fear/Gibson free dance. You will call it camp by the end of this season. That dress did not look like it came from a tourist shop in Edinburgh. You will like this for Scotland” #GPFigure #GPFRA

the problem with this season is that if the japanese olympic team doesn't include kaori sakamoto, mone chiba, wakaba higuchi, ami nakai, rion sumiyoshi, rinka watanabe AND rino matsuike i am going to crash out and that's not mathematically possible

i think i've said these exact words before but it makes me want to cry that rino exists and we get to watch her. and whoever choreographed that program deserves a nobel prize #FinlandiaTrophy #GPFigure

To bring some good into this day: seeing Amber’s Like a Prayer live was actually a religious experience and I might have cried a little. Honestly the crowd got so into the music that it was just so magical #FinlandiaTrophy

Asking for a friend - are the press conferences posted somewhere? #FinlandiaTrophy #GPFigure

Commentary from the location:
- Nordis (Helsinki Ice Rink) is COLD
- the ice here seems to be extra slippery idk what to say

Thanks to the ISU, you can't use Depeche Mode released in late 1989 for the 90s RD but you can skate to AI slop copying Bon Jovi songs from 1986! ⛸️
