I find that a lot of ice dance gala programs are quite ho-hum, mostly because the teams tend to choose sappy ballads of the "Sometimes When We Touch" variety that put me to sleep. But V&M chose "Black Magic Woman" and they actually DANCE with each other, and look at how amazing Tessa looks in that LBD. So simple, so elegant - and look at that pleating by her left knee - subtle, very subtle. And one must admit that Scott looks just dashing. To resist the urge to go full-out spangly and skanky for the gala and wear chic all black - and at 19 and 17...wow. I think their costume designer deserves multitudinous awards. Perhaps I over-gush. They're wearing all black, how boring, you say. Well take a look at basically every other ice dance team and perhaps you may see why V&M are so utterly fabulous to me. PS-their gala program is HOT.

And sometime maybe soon I might post on CoC and TEB...
