#if i had bothered to make a sideblog for figure skating i would’ve gone for the url diamondropsofkristiyamaguchi #but i could never manage the effort. so it’s free for the taking. #this is gonna make me scream about modern fs costumes. where’s the layers where’s the embellishment where’s the ~costume~ feel? #its the same unembellished or barely embellished dresses. single layer skirts and jumpsuits. #ombre like it makes up for it having nothing else going on. #yes it is a sport. function and the athlete’s comfort should come first. but also. artistry and presentation are a huge part of judging. #this is not disparaging the skaters btw i love them all and know there is good taste among them this is a General Indictment #kristi yamaguchi #figure skating #1990s #i’m realizing i just call them diamond drops naturally even though i know they aren’t but i’m not saying crystal drops or whatever #diamond drops #fave fashion #mine #fskate costumes
