Ice Prince <3

I just noticed today's date was the birthday of one of my favourite figure skaters (obsessive much?), so I decided to see if I could find anything on the web on him. Lo and behold, I find a post on [livejournal.com profile] ontd_skating dedicated to him! (And even though it's on a ONYD comm, the post is pretty straightforward, with many, many pics, videos and info. <3)

The reason why I am a (Russian) figure skating fangirl for life: Alexei Urmanov

I'm pretty sure the costume pictured at the beginning of the post is the reason why he caught my eye in the first place... Real men can wear sequins, dammit! (And ruffles... And gloves. ;)

BTW, is it wrong that the protagonist for the original story I was going to do for Nano is inspired by him? Or is it just plain creepy? XP

In other news, I really should be writing at the moment, but I feel no inspiration; it's very frustrating. :/ I keep on starting to write stuff, but am unable to finish... And I also want to draw, but I'm not happy with my drawings either (I tend to only draw tiny thumbnails while I experiment with costuming, sigh)...
