lol maybe the purple portion? because i thought original prince inspiration was, well, prince himself!

 

(i can say after spending three years to find this image )

 

but purple spandex suit - and spandex suit in general - is very brian-esque 

 

Three years? Good gravy! 

Well, yes, of course it was Prince, it's just that Brian's monstrosity was similar and the photos made me laugh too much not to share.

The purple was JButt's idea because with the white costume all we see when he's on the ice was a floating head

That white was so much cooler,  I'm still mourning it. The whole program was a different beast in purple. They should have just dyed the ice purple for him!

Not gonna lie, the white felt like an assault on my eyes. It was so bright I love the way it looks but even looking at pictures now I can feel a headache forming

Princepiration from Brian at the 1984 Olympics

 

 

OH GOD, those pantsuits......didn't hide anything did they, amazing they managed to skate with all of that D: my eyes.......my eyes.... DDDD:

 

slightly OT but I thought Yuzu's LGC outfit would scandalise my conservative Asian parents but they actually really liked it on him. Personally, I love the costume lol, it's somehow perfectly Yuzu. I'm so intrigued about what he might bring next season but that's....thinking too far ahead.....

I thought it was pretty SCANDOLO myself when I saw it and it took me a long time to appreciate the brilliance of the program - now oneof my favourites - because I just couldn't look without cringing. My mother can't watch, either, it though UA runthroughs seem to be okay. (it really looks so much better in UA. I keep saying it but I'd be fine if he performed everything in UA. So much sharper!)

It's really unfair how Hanyu copies stuff and then manages to nonchalantly outdo the original in both design and how he looks in them. He even outdid Prince, which I thought could never be outdone. If he ever sets his sight on world domination outside of simply fs...

 

...well can't say I'd resist. He'd make a better ruler than most of the monkeys in power these days.

 

I did think the design was weird at first, though I always liked the vest bit, I thought the pants were too high...until he sold me the program (LGC wasn't really a fave of mine from Prince, though I like his other stuff) and I finally saw.

 

It's still due largely in part to how his physique is shaped though. He's got an upper torso that has a very defined v-shape to it which I definitely think helped him pull off even stuff like this. The vest tapering off at the waist was definitely an ingenious touch that accentuates his waistline and gives the costume a 2-piece feel instead of a 1-piece one.

Omg! That's the word! I've been wondering for so long that there's something in his dance technique that isn't quite right. You named it right! Bouncy!

every time I see him in LGC drag, the mean girls 'your hair looks so sexy pushed back' quote rings in my ears

lol right??? He's too earnest and bouncy and chipper when he dances to be ~cool~ in the requisite way  he should probably learn some Chill from Nathan

 

(LGC was probably the closest he came and I wouldn't say Prince is the paragon of male coolness, at least not from a conventional perspective --- but it works for me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I'm sorry, I should have put a warning before posting something like that.
