STARS ON ICE (DENVER)

by Kathy

I know Xrystal and others are going to do a really great job telling all about Denver, so I'll just mention a few things that stood out for me.

First of all, Katia looked beautiful. Truly. Does the girl ever age?

Her first number was the scarf number. Amazing. Definately better live, if that's possible. Unfortunately, she went for the double axel and missed by about 1/2 rotation. She landed on her rear end. But I'm conviced that by the end of her run, she'll be nailing it every night.

For her second number, she skated to Sunday kind of Love. And it was beautiful. I wish that her programs would never end.

But my absolute favorite part of the entire show was the finale. It was so obvious that Ekaterina was having a really hard time with the timing and even maybe remembering where she was supposed to be or what was coming next. It sounds weird that I should find this entertaining, but she had an enormous smile on her face the whole time and was even laughing with some of the other cast members about it. It seemed as if she was really happy to be out there with the whole cast. And was having a lot of fun being part of the group.
Again, I'm sure in the next few shows, she'll have it down. But it was so endearing to see her open emotions about the whole situation. Very sweet.

The rest of the show was awesome. Studs on Ice. Unbelievable, the amount of male beauty in the show now. :) And really liked the guys numbers and the "Dance" number with Yuka and the guys.
