OMG- Woke up feeling VERY ILL this morning. Missed ALL of the ladies short and we really did want to make it for the last group- Honest Guvs! I am bummed I never saw East Of Eden live- But what the heck :(
Made it for the second group of freedance though- Yay! We were sat lower bowl at the end of the rink which gave you a good perspective on the various teams speed etc etc.
The first group we saw, Tara and I sat together. We liked Belbin and Agosto again very much and we had the delerious Vitaly and Marika banner waving for the Brits too. They were great and was sorry that the Hugentoblers and that AWFUL West Side Story beat them What is Linichuk on- Crack again? LOL
Peed ourselves laughing at the oh so voidy 3rd French team Sauri and Stifunin but we had been getting a good look at her all week due to the fact she dated Gwendal for 7 years.
The next group I think had D&S (FRA) in it, they rocked! Love that program, it was good to hear the gasps of the crowd too when they did their fabulous lifts. By that time I was sat a section across from Tara and Meghan was a section across from me and that is when we started our 'Stand up and applaud on our own and wave at each other so we dont feel lonely' voidyness :)
Must thank Emma Abraham for selling me her ticket at a reasonable price- In fact I think I still owe her a Vodka and Orange LOL - See you in Lausanne babes! I was sat next to a friend of hers Amy, which was most enjoyable as we liked the same teams and she was a huge ice dance fan too.
Hmm - Loved L&T as usual- Shame about the little mistake at the end, especially when I heard they had a 5/4 split with Grunshina and Goncharov and that HORRIBLE free Dance to Gladiator.
Winkler and Lohse were a surprise, they looked like snails at Trophee Lalique and I thought L&T were a bit swizzed there, but here I was happy with the result. The speed was a lot better and I liked the 'new' version. Crowd seemed to get into it too. We gave them a Standing O.
Also gave Standing Os to the Oh so voidy Bulgarians and Galoping Galit and Sergei! Wheeee! They were FABULOUS! XO
Last group! Agh! A&P came out and I couldnt really enjoy it because I was a bit worried after Euros. LOVED it though! They rocked the house- I recall a lot of people being stood up after that- More than for FP&M anyway, who we stood up for too. Dont agree with the result AT ALL- But at the end of the day it's just ice dancing and I'm not going to get into a knot with it. As soon as A&P tech marks went up I knew FP&M were going to win :(
D&V were fabulous but so hosed by the judges! They should have been 3rd definitely. L&A were great too though and it was great to see them get a medal at worlds at last.
I wasn't as taken with B&K today as I was yesterday, but they Tiffed it OK and I gave them a standing O as to not get lynched. Didnt see Meghan stood up this time though LOL
Anyway as the competition ended we went out for a fag and were amazed at the number of people leaving. We went back in and felt really bad for the medallists- Especially the shouting for B&K when FP&M were taking their bows- Oh well, they're world champions I dont think they cared that much LOL.
We went down to the barrier as they all did their lap of honour and screamed at all of them.
We then left the arena in a bit of a dejected void, but sent Cruella along 'In the Official' to get the scoop from the press conferences. Jenny, Tara and I sat outside reviewing the ordinals which Jenny had kept notes of- Pukka Jenny! We saw shells, but she wasn't coming along to play tonight as the silly girl had only bothered to get 3 hours sleep the night before after all our voidyness at the IFS Party and the Crime Lab, so we said goodbye and we'd see her tomorrow.
Cruella came back from the Press Room saying that Marina had kicked ass! We cheered at that! Wheeee! Apparently, she'd GRABBED the microphone and started going on that they were the best and should have won! HA! You go girl!
Apparently Ilia was very sweet and said what he had said to Marina on the podium about them having lost their Junior World Title etc etc...AWWWWWW INNIT!!!
So we went back the hotel to Tiff and not to be predictable we went to the Hyatt! Which I'll post about a bit later.
So we got to the Hyatt- Tara's Cockney accent was causing Cruella a lot of mirth- PML! If you ever meet Tara ask her to say the following phrases:
"Hello- Im Dotty from Ottawa"
Or
"Galloping Galit came GALLOPING right at me"
We commandeered our usual table in the middle- I belive this is the night Guv and I tried poutine I quite enjoyed it, but not something I'd make for myself at home.
Shae was in the bar before us! LOLOL Sat on a table with her mum, other family members I guess, and Nicky Morozov She walked past our table a few times and at one point I sighed and said 'I wish I was 'bulky' like Shae.....' LOL
Neil had joined us that night and we bitched up the dance results and Neil was most amused at our 'Battle of the Ice Dance Divas' costume stakes. I was the first to spot Marina and Gwendal arriving back from Skatefest when I was out having a fag with Laura- I said 'Oh Bugger' and went up to them - I had the excuse of thanking Gwendal for the nice email he had sent me while I was sick and in hospital having surgery He was cool- He asked what had been wrong with me LOLOL as it was a bit of a *womans problem* I didnt want to go into too much detail PML as his night had been crap enough already innit!! LOLOLOL So I just gave a vague answer LOLOL. Marina was there too - Gwendal looked fine and said yes he was unhappy with the result but he felt theyd won the crowd and were happy with their skate. Marina was in a bit of a void- Poor thing but had a lovely smile when I gave her a kiss- Awwwww and...
On a later cigarette mission with Tara and Meghan we saw PMM in the lobby on his own, waiting to be adored- LOL. So naturally we obliged Congratulated him etc etc...Shook his hand again Asked about Jirina but she was in Milan. I asked him if he was growing his hair again, he said he didnt know, we said yes but you'll need long hair for the Spanish ODs next year and he said it would depend on what they were doing for their FD- I think we sort of all shouted at him to grow it then and left him as he was then joined by Babs and the rest of the team to go out and party- Actually come to think of it we probably insulted the poor guy! PML!!!
Back into the bar where saw Todd wearing the most vile 80s style sweater- Something you wouldn't even wear if your mother had given it to you for Christmas. - We did get a nice smile at him at one point though.
We decided that although Shae looked very perky in her blue dress- She was outdone in the Ice Dance Diva stakes by Marina, Babs and Irina. - We did decide she had the best accessory though- Nicky! PML!!! He did come out bumming cigarettes at one point with Mishy- He declined mine (too strong for him- HA!) and had a milder one from Laura.
Then of course the highlight of the night- PPT and PJZ (hell Im just giving him the title already-LOL) walking into the bar looking like they'd stepped off the covers of GQ innit - We elected Meghan's Dave to take the picture that is now gracing the top of this forum (*at FSU) and the Guv to tell PPT about his award. PML at PJZ 'selling' the 'Porn Skater' of the year award.... Tara's explained so well already what happened there LOLOLOL!!!
Dave had grabbed Meghan earlier to have her picture taken with PPT- After that all we could get out of her for 2 hours was "Im in a void...Im in a void- Im in a PPT void" I think he was waiting for some riveting conversation from her as well but all she said was 'I love your freedance' ! PML!!!!
Also while outside smoking I was surprised to see quite a few skaters smoking I wont say who they are here though.
Sergei S (not a smoker- Well not that I saw anyway) had Galloping Galits Cute little dog with him at one point and then came in the bar later with 2 babes on his arm! Yay Sergei! You rock!!
So time to leave the Hyatt and off to the Crima Lab! Wheeee! Tonight it was just Meghan, Dave, Laura, Tara and me. I didnt drink too much tonight - Really! But we were late again and got in at about 4.
