Festa on Ice 2010

We plan to continue our 2009-2010 retrospective soon, but we wanted to make a post about a certain favorite skating show of ours while it was still timely. Of all of the off-season shows, Festa on Ice is our absolute favorite. We aren't even going to tell you why in our introduction. We are just going to let this recap speak for itself. (These costumes represent a mixture of 2009-2010 exhibition costumes and brand new costumes for Festa on Ice.)

If you're going to wear normal clothes on the ice, this is the way to do it. We would like to print out a picture of this costume and distribute it to all the male skaters who are thinking to themselves, "I know what would really stand out on the ice! The clothes I wear every day, but ugly!" Look at that kicky little purple vest. We both love it, even though Bee hates vests and Elle hates skating suits. What makes this work is that Abbott didn't try to add gratuitous sparkles or eye-searing colors. He just found a style and a color palette that worked really well for him, and wore the clothes. This costume wins our Best Use of a Vest Award for 2009-2010.
