Ok so many of you faithful readers know that I am pretty ANTI-iced dancing. See this CLASSIC RANT !&@$@! http://rsbfart.blogspot.com/2010/02/anti-twizzle-campaign.html?m=1
However bizarrely in my old age my heart is softening in a slight way -and it is not as hard and cold as a cold hard rock. Basically what I am saying is that the ice dancing was STILL UNACCEPTABLE as a sport - ie it is too highly dependent on artificial narrative . And yet there were a couple ----ok---- fashion items. Below this guy rocked a
Bow tie and had a matching "Face of COnfiDENCE". He was a iced dancer from ITAL VITAL (Italy)
And the entire ensemble with partner was pretty decent too. Her skirt was tasteFul in length and reminds of (I Donno sailing?)
Get into this whole "narrative" issue with iced dancing. I am reflecting - and this is what I have arrived at: Most of the year we Americans view sports that are not about "judgement" but rather about "who gets a better score" so that's what the Olympics bring us: "judgement" sports. Anyway. And apparnetly ine of the things that is being JUSGED in iced dancin is """storry""". Well so the most compelling narrative (theater wise) was this "nerdy professor" and spicy tempstress that decided to go twizzling together. Credit again goes to DEU (tho it would have been even cooler if they defied the hetero normative franework as per the "rainbow dreams" ski jackets) so- The male character came replete with elbow pads and (well another bow tie) and a sweater vest hahahahah!! And the thick frame glasses which (have they become nerdy again after being cool?)
