ZP Batch #6:

DJ Mute City - PlayStation 1 DanceMix Vol.1 CD 4 4x6 photoprinted screencaps of past PS1 streams 

once again a little late on things mostly due to high shipping costs during the holidays, but will be finally shipping this batch out to my patreon supporters this week. I still plan on getting the next CD finished and shipped early spring. I’ll do a poll on my patreon page to see if people want either GameCube DanceMix Vol.1 or PS2 DanceMix Vol.2 for the next CD (both have not been publicly available yet but are chunks from past unlisted livemixes for patrons!) as far as the next unlisted stream goes.... it might be time to do another PS1 mix since I only scratched the surface of all the tracks I’ve been collecting.

anyway, happy Chinese New Year and enjoy my vidmix of this synced within the game Internal Section if you haven’t checked it already!

A.N: Not my best work but I wanted to get something out

Masterlist

You've been living in Monaco your whole life, went to school there, went to college elsewhere before coming back to Monaco. It's true that it's a hub for all the richest of people, plus all motorsport athletes and fans. On most days you don't mind any of that, but you're starting to hate your life there. A lot of people move in and out of the city all the time, some rich some not, some nice some not, your new neighbour is anything but nice.

He isn't always there but when he is, he makes sure you know it, and makes your life a living hell.

But he's the last thing on your mind right now, you're going out with your friends and boyfriend to go clubbing. It's the weekend and you're all wanting to let loose, it's been a long weekend and your neighbour is back in town, so that adds to the sleepless nights and headaches.

Lando was dragged out of his apartment to go to a club with Max and Kelly. He just came back to Monaco a few days ago and his friends wanted to have fun. P was having a sleepover at her friend's, so it was perfect.

Lando knows who you are, he definitely does, he's seen your glare and heard your shouting more times than he can count. Always screaming in French and never letting him let a word out before you're marching off. He has no idea if you think he speaks French, or if you’re just cussing him out. That gets on his nerves, who shouts and then leaves without any explanation or waiting for any response. It irked him to no end, did it make him blast his music a tad bit louder? Yes he did, but she started it, she's the one that annoyed him and kept shouting.

Lando is dressed to go clubbing with a chain around his neck, his curls wild and free to do as they want. He met with Max and Kelly there, he chose not to drive, knowing he'd be drunk by the end of the night, and the club wasn't that far from his house anyways. Walking in the club, he felt the vibrations going through him, his blood was pumping, itching to have a drink and hit the dance floor, maybe ask the DJ for a go. The mood was amazing, everyone was having fun as if there's no tomorrow, Lando was dancing with this random girl and Max and Kelly were having a good time. An hour in, Lando made his way to the bathroom at the back of the club, he drank so much and needed to pee to be able to drink some more. It was much quieter at the back of the club, the music was muted, the lights were a bit brighter, and surprisingly there weren't that many people around. Maybe this is why Lando heard it, there was shouting, in thick accented English, different accents, but both speaking English. Maybe he was nosey, or maybe he just wanted to make sure that everyone's okay, but he quietly made his way to the corner at the end of the hallway, leading to the emergency door, he peaked around the corner. Seeing the back of a female in a short dress and hair loose, his eyes running up and down her figure, shouting at a guy much taller and bigger than her, the guy's face was pinched in anger, his hand was moving around.

"I saw you! Why are you still denying it?" The female shouted, her anger and hurt vivid in her voice.

"You saw nothing, because nothing happened!" The guy shouted back and she huffed, Lando could imagine her rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms. "Love, please believe me, nothing happened."

"How can I? When I saw you! I saw you and you have no excuse." She sounded desperate now, Lando debated walking back but he couldn't get himself to just turn and walk away, something made him stay.

"It's dark here, you're mistaken, believe me, please, I only have eyes for you." The guys said and took a step closer, his hands landing on the female's shoulders, Lando could see her tensing. "I love you, you know that right?"

"I know." Lando almost missed her words, he knew she was about to forgive him, and even though he didn't know what happened, he knew the guy was bullshitting his way out of cheating, and she was falling for it.

"Then believe me." The guy leaned in for a kiss, but she turned her head to the side, and Lando saw her face, his eyes went wide and he dipped his head back out of sight. He just saw his annoying neighbour fighting with her boyfriend and he had no idea. He checked her out and even liked what he saw. He wants to bleach his eyes for checking her out. How could he find her attractive? Knowing that her boyfriend won’t hurt her, he went to his original destination. Standing in the urinal he does his business before someone walks in and stands at another urinal one down from him. Lando looks up and sees your boyfriend standing there, looking unbothered. He even got out his phone and dialled a number.

"Hey babe... yeah, I'm going to be late... don't wait up for me.... I know, I miss you too... don't worry, I have tomorrow off and I'm spending it all with you... yeah... whatever you want... I love you... see you tomorrow my love." Lando is standing there in disbelief, that asshole is two timing girls. He may not like you, he despises you even, but that doesn't give that guy rights to cheat on you.

Lando debates telling you, as the alcohol in his system seemed to disappear and he doesn’t drink for the rest of the night, but he did manage to spot you a few times dancing with your boyfriend with a smile on your face, his first time seeing you smiling. Completely unaware, and over the fight you two had.

He decides not to tell you, you'll figure it out.

And you figured it out, one text sent to you by mistake was all it took. Scott kept calling you at all hours of the day and night, you had to block him but he'd get a new number and start calling you again, it left you sleepless and more sensitive. This is why you're standing here in your pyjamas at Lando's door pounding on his door at 8 PM, it isn't that late but you haven't been sleeping well and just wanted to get

to bed, but the music coming from Lando's house just made it impossible to do so. It took Lando a minute before he answered the door. That minute felt like a lifetime to you, you really wanted to strangle him by the time he made it to the door.

"What do you want?" Lando asked, he now knew you spoke English, he was surprised to see you there. You never come to knock on his door, usually your confrontations happen when he's going out at the same time as you or one of you is coming in and another is leaving.

"S'il te plaît, baisse la musique.” (Please turn down the music.) You say in French pinching between your eyebrows in a desperate need to stop the headache.

"Don't speak French, love." You sigh it takes you a moment to register what he’s saying and it seemed for the first time you realise he doesn't, and frown to yourself.

"What?"

"I don't speak French." He repeats amused.

"But-But that means every time-“

"Yes, I understood nothing." You huff and push your hair out your face, your pyjama top rising with your hand movement, giving Lando's eyes free access to your skin, he bites his bottom lip lightly.

"Okay, can you please turn the music down a bit, I can't sleep." You ask him to choose to ignore the fact that he can't speak French.

"It's 8" Lengo frowns and you sigh, he then realises how tired you are. "I'll turn it down."

"Thanks" With that you turn barefoot and walk back to your apartment, closing the door behind you, all while Lango is watching you. He shook his head and went back into his apartment and turned the music off.

You don't interact much but Lendo has seen you in passing during the next week, he caught your phone ringing a few times, it seemed to ring a lot lately and you never seem to answer, always declining the call and then blocking the number, he can only guess that you found out.

Finding out that your boyfriend is cheating on you is never easy, but finding out it’s more than one woman, and more than one time is much harder. How could you be so blind? you don’t get why he’s still calling you. You could only guess that he’s been dumped by all the women he was stringing along. You were going through the breakup, not getting enough sleep, not going out, spending your days on the balcony looking over the city.

You were sitting there with a glass of wine, your head leaning back on the chair as you chilled. Blindly taking a sip of the wine, only to find the glass empty opening your eyes you groan. Begrudgingly getting up to refill your glass when you glance down and have to do a double take, Scott’s car is parked in front of your building, the ugly purple car, eye-catching even in a city like Monte Carlo. “Fuck.”

Your brain came to one conclusion, you have to escape. You run inside, through your apartment and outside to the elevator, only to find it already on its way up. Not a lot of floors in the building, turning and looking frantically, your eyes fell onto your neighbours door, you run there and ring the bell while knocking on the door, repeatedly. Lando opens the door, he doesn’t have time to think before he’s pushed back and his door is slammed, his vision is filled with your hair, you have only managed to push him back a step. you’re looking through the peephole not caring that you just barged into his apartment without any rhyme or reason, offering no explanation.

“What the fuck?” Lando whispered to himself, before he heard it, pounding on your door. Your breathing picks up pace, your eye glued to the peephole.

“Shit, shit, shit.” You mutter over and over again.

“What is happening?” Lando asks and it seemed like you didn't hear him, so he gently moves you to the side and it's then you come out of the trace you're in and blink up at him, he looks through your peephole and sees your ex standing there in front of your door, he's started shouting and calling your name. “What is he doing here?”

“I-uh- I don't know.” You say weakly and look up at Lando, eyes filled with tears, shaking you head you continue voice wavering. “I don't know, he's-he's been calling me and sending me texts and I've blocked him but-but…”

You trail off as Scott starts cussing you out, and throwing threats, your eyes went wider. Lando’s jaw clenched, his hand formed into fists. Lando puts his hands on the door handle and just before he twists it, you place your hand on his to stop him, you're shaking. “Please don't leave me here, don't go out, please.”

“Okay, okay, it's fine, I’ll call security and have him kicked out and he'll be off your visitors’ list.” Lando says and places his hand on your shoulders to calm you down, you nod at his words and Lando just pulls gently to the living room where you collapse on the sofa, your head in your hands. “They’re coming up.” Lando says after his call and sits at the other end of the sofa angled to face you, you look up and Lando takes you in, eyes red, lips raw from you biting at them you're not shaking anymore, but still over all a hot mess. His heart breaks for you, all the past transgressions forgotten.

“Thank you.” You tell Lando honestly, you're grateful he didn't kick you out or tell your ex that you're here.

“No worries, couldn't let you out to that asshole.” Lando clenched his fists just in thought of your ex being outside. “Do you want to drink something, water, tea, coffee?”

“Wine?” You ask and Lando chuckles before he gets a bottle of wine and two glasses. “Thank you.”

Lando pours you a glass, the first one you down in one go. The second one you nurse, by the third you're both talking, fourth your mind is off your ex, and then you're sleeping.

Lando hadn't drank as much as you had, he debated moving you to the guest bedroom, but he's slept on the sofa a few times before and he knows that It's comfortable so he just moves you so you're laying down with a pillow under your head and a light bedsheets over you. Lando finds himself sitting on the coffee table facing you, you look so innocent sleeping, snoring lightly, and once more he just takes you in. “Maybe you're not so bad after all.”

Once he catches himself pulling an Edward Cullen he gets up and goes to his bedroom, leaving you to sleep, but all he could think about is you.

All you could dream about is Lando

Maybe he's not bad after all.

A lot of things I got dragged into sploon, no matter how I enjoying Salmon run (because teamwork and fun day)

So I decided to draw the content

Here's line up agent in my design looks-

Just for the toon style looks, so here's a hcs for each agents:

(Long words)

Trapper, 22 y/o [Species: Octoling??]

Trapper is not just an octoling, he was used to be one of the Kamabo experiment no.5150. Because he was saved by her adoptive mother, Ellie, he always have to hide his identity in the event of Splatoon 1. He doesn't know much about Dj Octavio and the Octarians clan, but he seems interested until the event of Splatoon 3. He doesn't talk, but he can use sign language (it's a sign that he's mute as always and it's because his voice is very likely to human languages and has no bubble effects in it like the other octolings. He's not an only child he was raised by her own mother, he has a sister, Veronika. He doesn't trust the Kamabo or Commander Tartar. He has a strong relationship with Four, but now he miss her (since they became separated and getting worried about her). And also, he's a gardener.

Veronika, 14(splat 3) - 16(now) y/o [Inkling]

She's a little feral and always care for his older brother. Never been join Grizzco industries because her little salmon buddy is afraid of the boss himself. She's a huge fan of Pearl from the Off the Hook. She interested any type of weapons and a mechanic engineer. Being forced to washed herself, since she's smell like fishes belongs in the sea. She's also a best friend of Murch. If you mess with Trapper, you mess with her (she'll forced you to drop yourself in the sea as an threat or eats gross food).

Agent/Captain 3 [No name], 21 y/o [Inkling]

Has slowly lost their original name and gender. Became tired and depressed because of the Octo expansion event, but still smiles when think about the past what they used to. They like Naomi as a close friend. rarely talks and type of introvert person. Doesn't want to talk about Deepsea Metro (they have PTSD). They can rap since they known as DJ Sango. Get along with the Squid sisters, even they stay as their part of the family. Always support other Agents no matter what and only the mysterious agent among others.

Surume/Four, 23 y/o [Inkling]

A great agent who always very positive and an extrovert person. She always like Trapper, who are very close to her (both always think about each other since they were separated from different city). She was busy due to an extracurricular, and a roommates with Hachi and Naomi. Four really care about Trapper's feeling for her if he's not in a good mood. She loves biology to know about sea creatures and even mammals, including plants. She's shorter than other agents.

Hachi/Eight, 21 y/o [Octoling]

An agent who is only one was escaped from the Deepsea Metro with his sister, Naomi. He doesn't get recover his traumatic experience back there, but always finds a way to avoid it. Kind to anyone, likes other agents. He doesn't know about Trapper, but he interested to meet him. Confidence to find answers. He's afraid of C.Q Cumber. When he's stares at you, it can tell he looks like a little puppy. He and Naomi lives with the Off the Hook as like their parent figure. Always protect his sister.

Naomi/Eight, 19 y/o [Octoling]

She's a bit shy and a fan of the Squid sisters after the effects of the Calamari Inkatation. She likes Cap 3 about their skills and being cool. She's barely talks, but always needs a help from her brother. She kinda loves the beautiful view around the new city or places she wants to travel. She's having a fear of Blender and being lonely without her brother or someone. She likes doing art and doodles on her sketch she bought in the surface. She always sticks with her brother since she doesn't want to get separated. And a friend of Four.

Welp that's all the hcs I have for my agents. Most of them are similar the canon splatoon facts. And here's the base of the body type looks

And bonus for Trapper in agent outfit:

B A C K G R O U N D

sani was born on a south korean-united states military base. his mother was an army doctor and his father was a doctor in south korea. his mother was a first generation nigerian-american that dedicated her life to saving others and decided to become a military doctor after completing her residency. she met his father a year into being in south korea, and their love was instant, like a fairy tale.

their love didn't last long though. when sani was only seven years old, his parents divorced and when her time as an army doctor was over, his mother returned to the states, taking him with her. he spent his summers in south korea with his father, but primarily lived with his mother for the majority of his life.

sani's always been a creative at heart. whether it be art or music, both come to him naturally. he can play several instruments (the piano, the guitar, the drums and the saxophone), and is very knowledgable on dj'ing equipment and other music production equipment. he has a nice singing voice as well, but prefers to lean on the more creating/dj'ing side of music instead of actively singing.

he moved to briar glen when he turned eighteen for a sense of independence and to prove to his parents, and himself, that he can make it on his own. his parents both wanted him to follow their paths and become a doctor, but that was never something he wanted to pursue.

he makes the bulk of his money by dj'ing or doing freelance art projects for anyone interested in his art style and work.

DJ Mute City - PlayStation DanceMix Vol.1

omg im back! with another CMY2K question! do you have any voice headcanons for the characters? ik I always spend a lot of time thinking abt what my characters sound like so im curious :0

THE MOST SOLID ONE IN MY BRAIN IS TEENY VOICED BY WENDEE LEE that’s literally the shit i’ve been animating this week + the most feasible voiceclaim like i Could possibly work with her on the actual cartoon and make it canon that would be the most ideal ever. also hibiki is selective mute but if he could talk he 100% would sound like kingdom hearts 1 sora i did an audio edit of that last year somewhere on my art blog i think, aaaand voltaire is literally just megaman powered up elecman

beyond that though the voices i have in mind are pretty nebulous and i don’t usually have specific people in mind more just the Sound that’s kinda difficult to describe, like cain for example he has a pretty strained mostly monotone voice and he gets Loud when he gets mad but he doesn’t really emote vocally. and tex i imagine sounds like The most stereotypical NJ/NYC gruff construction worker i can very clearly in my head hear him saying “you got it boss”

teddy i can also hear really clearly in my head cuz i think she should have a kinda nasally nerd voice but totally monotone and bored. rev i go back and forth on cuz it’s either A) the voice in the intro to DJ technorch my gabber is your gabba that goes “can you guess what we’ll listen to next?” that guy or B) the villain guy from princess and the frog something along those lines. betsy all i really know is she talks softly she probably sounds like most people’s headcanon toriel voice. keke i think sounds like whichever version of frieza it was that did the oujosama laugh but keke isn’t the type of guy to Do an oujosama laugh i just think it’s a fitting voice for him

also since it’s set in newark everyone has regional accents unless stated otherwise. cain in particular is fun cuz he’s not from the city he’s from rural jersey closer to pennsylvania so his accent is closer to that, cain’s the type of guy to pronounce water like wooder and it’s a dead giveaway where he’s from

Nigerian Music, The Bright Spark In A Time Of Distress

Today, Nigeria celebrates 62 years of independence from Britain. Expect celebrations to be muted though, as several years of economic decline, further worsened by recent global challenges as a fall out from a pandemic and the Russian-Ukraine war have dampened patriotic affections. These, and a myriad of other problems, some of them as old as the country itself, have made it increasingly difficult to find good reasons to celebrate this country. About this time two years ago, young Nigerians fed up with these challenges, especially the problems of police brutality (read: killings and kidnappings), took to the streets in a series of decentralised, yet coordinated peaceful protests that simultaneously took place in major Nigerian cities. Those ended in the worst possible way, with at least nine people losing their lives to bullets from the security agencies they marched to oppose.

If independence Day was met with indifference before 2020, this has become outright hostility. There was a time when people waited in eager expectation to witness the pomp and pageantry of the day, while those outside donned clothes that were the promising green and the brilliant white of Nigeria's flag, but that was many years and economic backslides ago. In the midst of all this though, our best export, our music continues to fly, a flourishing plant in poisoned soil.

Our music has always been good. That must be established immediately, especially after the latest bout of a recurring twitter debate that contends that Nigerian music's recent wins are proof that its quality has been lacking for all the years prior. Afrobeats, as music from Nigeria is popularly (and perhaps erroneously) called, has seen its quality steadily rise through time, so that its current status is more attributable to the contributions of many creatives and executives that have carved out the sound and the platform it currently rests on today.

And so our music has become a great source of pride and joy to young Nigerians. A few would go so far as to state that music is one of the things that keeps them sane in today's Nigeria. Music is food for the soul, a common saying goes, and when that food is prepared as well as our artists and producers do, it is no wonder that Nigerians run to it in a time of turmoil. The love and consumption of Nigerian music has long spread beyond our shores, in big and small ways. Psquare, D'banj were some of the earliest big names to be adopted by the London landscape as part of Afrobeats' adoption and christening by London DJs around the turn of the century, but even they would hardly have imagined just how crossover-ready our music would be in 20 years. That an artist like Asake in his breakout year, not yet an industry major player, can have his debut album chart in the UK and then Billboard 200 not quite two weeks after its release, speaks to the star power of Nigerian music as much as it does to the quality of the project itself.

And these are the prongs of our deli forked pride in Nigerian music of today - the quality and stature. The former, as noted earlier, has been built up through the years, helmed by producers and artists that constantly chop and change to experiment with different sounds, absorbing and picking the best part of other genres, and becoming better for it. Afrobeats, at the time of its naming, was already a mish mash of sounds, the indigenous like Afrobeat (no 's'), highlife and west African pop, and the foreign, like hip hop and house which had been perfectly internalised into our sound. But still we haven't stopped evolving. Wizkid's take on Azonto, Mr Eazi's reimaginations of Ghanian slow burning pop, CKay's African play on Caribbean sounds, and of course, the industry's rush for amapiano in the last three years, that has created something that many dub "afropiano" are only a small number of inventions taken by Nigerian creatives in recent years, taking in foreign sounds and stamping a Nigerian identity on them.

Stature is the more visible of these metrics, and it's the one most people will point to as evidence of Nigerian music's growth in recent times. The impact of Wizkid and Tems' "Essence" stateside, and Burna's "Last Last" in the UK are appreciable, as are the head- spinning numbers Ckay has achieved off Love Nwantiti. Fireboy's Peru, Omah Lay's Attention, Pheelz and BNXN'S Finesse are other songs that have become anthems in other parts of the world. And where songs go, concerts quickly follow, as evidenced by feats like Wizkid selling out the 02 arena three times over, and Burna's iconic performance at Madison's Square Garden. Afronation has capitalised on the marketability of modern Nigerian music, and every year it ships African, and especially Nigerian acts for an Afrobeats themed music festival. And so there is a steady pipeline between Lagos and the rest of the world. An artist just breaking out into Nigeria's music scene already has a fanbase waiting to see them on the other side of the globe.

And the flowers are coming in other ways too. In March, Billboard unveiled an Afrobeats chart, dedicated to celebrate the biggest West African songs in the US market. This came after the UK Official Charts had created its Afrobeats listing two years earlier, and these underscore the increased recognition of Nigerian music in both countries. With even more young acts like Oxlade and Victony taxiing to zoom into international stardom, we can rest assured that music will always be the comfort and pride of Nigerians navigating a country that hasn't offered them much else.

(although she's not really an agent of any kind, it's just a nickname), her real name is shell shell was originally part of the octarian army, she was someone who didn't stand out among her peers, it could be said that she's always been in the middle, although that could be because she She had no reason to do things, there was nothing that pushed her to stand out, to do things better, she had no motivation to improve herself, she simply followed the pace of others without having any desire of her own. she would go to the world of the inklins when she witnessed the concert between dj octavio and the squid sisters, when she heard the music she felt something unusual and wondered if perhaps there was something more interesting in life for her, she went to inkopolis in search of that "something" that would make her life more interesting, when she arrived in the city she was able to enjoy the varied music, the food and the territorial battles, however, despite the fact that she liked that lifestyle, she did not feel completely comfortable, she did not feel that city as a home, it just felt out of place, like it didn't fit in. Since then, Shell would start traveling around the world in search of a place she could call home, where she would finally feel comfortable. She would arrive in Shadowland by accident when the wind dragged Shell's map to an old underground train track. (which had not been used in many years), these pathways connected with the shadowland and shell caves, out of curiosity he decided to explore the place eventually arriving at the main square. Shell is a very quiet girl, she doesn't like to talk, she only does it when she thinks it's completely necessary, there have been people who have come to think that Shell is mute because of how little she talks, she's a tall girl, she's usually very curious, she is very determined, when she says she is going to do something, she does it, no one could stop her, she is very good at combat, she specializes in short and medium range weapons, She is very brave, I assure you that Shell is someone you can trust!

Oh I am watching everything and taking names. Nobody is safe from my fashion takes this weekend, I don't have to work until Tuesday. I could go back and cover whatever I missed if you guys want, was it only the pairs SP?

The women's event was such a struggle in the outfit department. Before I say anything, I'd just like to emphasize that I'm not dragging the girls themselves, most of them are teenagers and we all know what they go through in this fucking sport. No, who I have beef with is the grossly overpaid adults in their lives who are advising them or even outright controlling what they do and wear. I might have to do this in 2 parts, we'll see.

Seoyeong Wi, sigh. There's a reason no one has managed to make a truly successful P&P 2005 program when even Marina tried - the soundtrack is too short and too specific to the scenes (as any good soundtrack should be). They just played a light and bright piece before a tense and very much period-sounding one and called it a day, no transition, no nothing. A composer would have to sit down, deconstruct and have an orchestra re-record a bespoke P&P program for it to work. The dress, while okay, had nothing to do with the theme, and muted neutrals just don't look great against the cool white of the ice and the harsh TV lighting.

Nini, my long-suffering child. Her mom better pray our paths never cross. Wildly inappropriate music choice and opening pose for a 16yo. The outfit I can only describe as goth Coachella. Great body alignment and mechanics into the elements but knowing the expense at which it came kinda ruins it for me. I hope she can be free and fly away one day soon.

Clare - yet another Tammy victim. Why is the V in the front of the dress so sharp and deep when the one on the back is much softer and rounder? What are those bedazzled flowers at the hip and why do they exist? Why the second strap across the hips? The dress is a strawberry macaroon, it does anything but elongate her lines, and the music is equally saccharine. They should've kept her in junior.

I'm so proud of Mana's dress for surviving that tiger attack to be here. No, but seriously, who did this? The color isn't the worst but paired with the black edges and the not-quite-matching mesh, it's a hard miss. Don't even get me started on the music - she was skating through it, not to it, and disappointingly, this wasn't the only case of electronic music that would be playing at a daytime DJ gig in a riverside cafe in any major city in the world rn. It only made sense after I saw her coach wearing a crocheted blanket over a checkered tablecloth.

Hana - god help me. I actually thought the cut was great, it really flattered her figure, but why that color, why that pattern, and most importantly, why the randomly placed black straps? Ka2sh straight to jail for the music choice too, did she even listen to the lyrics? Bury this song next to Big Spender, if you ask me. We've seen so many programs trying to replicate the success of Wakaba's Energia and just falling flat, just give up already, none of you are Shae-lynn or Wakababy.

It's awful that I knew Mone was skating to Dark Eyes as soon as I saw her in the warmup. The top of the dress is at war with the bottom, the sleeve length is truly random, and why are we doing a Russian song this particular season? The top is overbeaded like last year and I was worried it would rip under the arms every time she lifted them. I like the shape, movement and length of the skirt but it's all just sooo outdated, I'm literally begging these coaches to not underserve these talented girls like this.

I'll be back with Part 2 after I put myself through the men's event.

Fasionista nonny!

Agreed on you caveat, I have gotten lots of weird/angry messages from people when I criticize anything about young women's skaters under the guise of 'they are just kids' as if I am attacking them personally just because I think their jump technique is bad.

I think one day a 2005 Pride and Prejudice program will be possible, the music cut just has to be right, as you said. Clare 100% should still be juniors, she wasn't ready for this. I did not understand the Mana dress or music choice, she is not performing to it, the movements don't match the music, there was a weird dissonance on the ice the entire program, she just had a bland smile on her face the whole time. I actually liked Mana's dress, I just wish there was no blue on the bottom, that was weird, should have just made it simple black.
