Sasha Cohen inspired by Kirsten?

I was looking at pictures of Sasha Cohen in her short program outfit. I kept thinking that the dress looked so familiar. Could it be that she was inspired by Kirsten's retired On The Trail dress? Makes me want that retired outfit even more. [img]wink.gif[/img] Sasha even had a little apron on her skating dress and aprons are very unual for skating outfits. [img]eek.gif[/img]

You are so funny!!!

My guess is the dress is inspired by the Ukrainian flag, as a nod to Sasha's Ukrainian heritage. It has the blue and gold and even the skirt is a Babushka shawl!

Good comparison though!

Thats cute!!!!! I didn't notice that!!!

She does look suspiciously like Kirsten though [img]cool.gif[/img] . If this is her (Sasha's) role model then Kirsten deserves a heaping helping of kudos. Sasha has evolved from a somewhat self-absorbed little gal into a truly wonderful young lady. Way to go Kirsten !!!! American Girls all the way! ~Bugs
(Now if we can only find a role model for the lovely little Russian gals meanie leader [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img] )

Oh I just love the comparison. I completely understand Sasha quest for greatness. It is so hard to be perfectionist and deal with the media pressure put on her.

I failed my qualifying exam (written over 4 days, four hours each day). It was devestating. I needed time to re-group, have a baby and come back mentally prepared. It doesn't matter how well I did on a daily basis at work. Those 4 days defined everything.

Thanks for the comparison between Kirsten and Sasha

Judi, you crack me up! You know what I think? I think you really, really need to get Kirsten's On the Trail dress! My general rule of thumb is if I start seeing the doll's outfit in what other (real)people are wearing, I know its time, LOL! I've seen some go for a decent price on eBay.

BTW, I love those Olympic ice skating costumes!

Hee hee . . . that's so cute! It's amazing how all the same colors are used in the outfits. Kirsten can even look like she's wearing skates, if you squint and stand on your head. [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I do want that dress. I may have to start getting serious about looking for it on e-Bay.

Colette is probably right since Sasha's short music is to a Russian Gypsy folk song called "Dark Eyes." I was totally rooting for Irina Slutskaya to win and I'm sad for her that she didn't skate well. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] I love Shizuka Arakawa though. Anyone live near Newington, CT? Maybe you can show her AGT4 or Jess dressed in a skating costume.

I have been ITCHING to order JESS and the skating outfit and make her Fumie Suguri (I like Arakawa too - but Fumie skated so well and didn't see the rewards in that). When she was questioned after she seems bewildered.

My CC is frozen in a 4 litre pail of ICE outside. To prevent me from shopping

I will be good [img]wink.gif[/img]
