They're technically not Royals anymore, they'll be in line with the rest of us

At this rate, next year it'll be Harry and Meghan....

Oddly enough, she first showed up in my Twitter feed for a tweet about health care, of all things. I had no idea about all the rest. Nor that she was at ACI this year.

I clicked on the thread and this sexy thumbnail is the first thing I see. Now I won't be any use to anyone for the rest of the day.

The tote design is great but it's highly detailed and isn't going to look very clear or stand out at badge size. Something simpler and more graphic will work better. People are free to write what they like in the name portion since it will be blank. At least that's the plan. The intention is to save folks from having to repeatedly fumble for a name, regardless of which name it is.

Yuzu on top and two complete underdogs no one expected to ever win in the #2 and #3 spots would be really interesting and fun. The way this season is going, anything can happen, so why not? But Yuzu on top, that's for certain.

Thanks for the translation. TBH it's the kind of situation where's there's really not much Candaloro can say beyond this.

Oh wow Kazuki! Nice!

Currently working on a design. I didn't drop this project, just had some RL stuff force it to the back burner. I hope to have these available at Worlds and going forward.

If you look at those landings, Yuzu immediately and deliberately kicks his legs out once he feels his balance going so that his feet don't get caught under him. It has to be a safety thing. Also, according to wikipedia, CBC has the rights for Worlds and all non-domestic ISU competitions, so it'll be Kurt, PJ, & Carol & co. for commentary. And Tracy will be free to coach whomever. I would like it if Jason makes it.

Nationals are in Mississauga - it's literally a 25 minute drive from TCC. Yuzu ain't gettin' away with nuttin' right now. Speaking of which, Tracy definitely had her coach's hat on during her commentary for Nationals. If any of the skaters happen to go back and watch the footage, they're going to get good advice from Tracy (for free) out of it.

I was feeling sooooo blue today, but Lotte and the satellites have fixed that! There's a perfectly logical reason to use orange. They're clearly trying to appeal to the Dutch market and seduce those Nederlanders away from speed skating. Now I'm wondering what colour the costume originally was IRL. They couldn't possibly have had all these different colours lined up for him to wear at the photoshoot, could they? It would be $$$.

Didn't Yuzu once say he wished he could be carried piggy back by Patrick in order to learn how Patrick skates? why no, I'm not trying to start anything...why do you ask?

Patrick's one of the athlete ambassadors. Not only will he be there, it might actually be his job to talk to Yuzu (and the other athletes)...something about this just tickles my funnybone.

I thought FaOI isn't doing any shows in April in Japan this year because of Olympics? Maybe that's why Yuzu picked SOI instead?

Aww...! https://skatecanada.ca/2020/01/athlete-spotlight-nicolas-nadeau-2/ Also, https://skatecanada.ca/2020/01/athlete-spotlight-nam-nguyen-3/ and https://skatecanada.ca/2020/01/athlete-spotlight-roman-sadovsky-2/ and https://skatecanada.ca/2020/01/athlete-spotlight-keegan-messing-2/ Love our Canadian boys. not as much as I love Yuzu but still PS: I forgot Conrad, but he's there too - saying that his dream superpower would be to rotate 5 times in the air! What the heck are they cooking up over at TCC, anyway?

Yes, but those brands don't have global reach. I can even order Kose from Shopper's Drug Mart (Canadian chain) online.

When was the last time a man was the face of a global-reach women's skincare line? I can only think of RuPaul for M.A.C. Viva Glam back in the 90's - and that was just a lipstick, not a whole brand...

It's bad enough when he manages to show up in a tailored suit...anything more stylish and there'd be dead fanyus as far as the eye can see....

No kidding! It's like the guy studies levitation in his spare time.

I know, right? When you see it in person it's almost like he's flying. Like really flying, like a bird.

I forget which interview it was (maybe after ACI), but sometime in the fall, Yuzu himself said that his flip wasn't great and he sometimes gets edge calls, but that one day he'd like to work on 4F so that he could do all six quads in a program. I don't think he gave a reason for why he didn't think his flip was strong.

When you describe it this way, it actually sounds a bit like the English expressions 'I'm fed up!' or 'I've had enough of this!'

They should anyway. If not Yuzu, someone's going to try it. But until it's a scoring element, there's no point in anyone wasting a jumping pass on a quint just for bragging rights...
