Figure Skating Costume Don'ts: Russian Ice Dancing Team Oksana Domnina and Maxin Shabalin
Yesterday I got up very early to tape a radio interview with NPR's
"The Takeaway" where I spoke about the Olympic Figure Skating Costumes (of course, what else??). I spoke about my thoughts on
Domnina and Shabalin's controversial--and some would say, culturally insensitive Aboriginal-inspired costumes, as well as my favorite all-time figure skating costumes and naturally, spoke a little about
Johnny Weir and his fur/no fur controversy. My interview will air tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
The Takeaway is a national morning news program that invites listeners to be part of the American conversation. Hosts
John Hockenberry (
Todd Zwillich sub-hosted for my interview) and
Celeste Headlee, along with partners
The New York Times,
BBC World Service,
WNYC,
Public Radio International and
WGBH Boston, deliver news and analysis and help you prepare for the day ahead.

The Takeaway on the radio every weekday morning on the stations listed

Oh, is that what they were supposed to be? And here I thought, just seeing pictures, mind, that they were the gingerbread people from hell...
Very entertaining read! Thank you for sharing your take on the figure skating costumes, candidness is always appreciated.
