Men in Tights II

Ok, so I freely admit figure skating is not a very .... manly sport. Men in tights and sequins pirouetting around on the ice. Sounds like something out of a bad Vegas review or the Philadephila mummers parade. Liberace eat your heart out.

However we had an extra ticket and this 'unmanly' sport is one of the most popular sports here and hard to get seats to. So yes I went.


Big Cheese....big screen....
Men in Tights are small and fit. They have to be...they spin like ballet dancers, sprint like runners, and balance like Yoga masters. Its amazing. They also fall. Alot. Especially if you are not ranked in the top 10. Not quite as dramatic as speed skating, but still a substantial splat. There are also lots of Men in Tights....about 30 in the short program group. That is alot of Men in Tights.

Robert and Mary discussing Men in Tights...Robert can't decide which of the costumes he likes best....maybe he'll wear one for Halloween! Brandon just doesn't want to know.
