An Ex-Showgirl's Blog About Ice Show Skaters. March 5, 2015. Some Pretty Tough Shoes to Fill. Entrance to Toller Cranston's studio. Can you see the shoes that are filled in the upper-right hand corner of the photo? Those would be the feet of skating and artist legend, Toller Cranston. In my mind, his shoes and his skates won't ever be filled. But they can be displayed, right? Then I thought, perhaps Canada, yes you, Canada - the country, I'm talking to you, you've got some.

An Ex-Showgirl's Blog About Ice Show Skaters. May 21, 2015. When dance numbers remind me of skating . And this is one of my favorites.

Did you know they've turned Strictly Ballroom into a musical in Australia? For those in the US, have a great Memorial Day weekend!

An Ex-Showgirl's Blog About Ice Show Skaters. October 23, 2014. I mentioned this on Ice Charades in August of 2013. And now I see it on Facebook.

It'll be worth it, I promise. You have yourselves an ice show! Too bad most of us can't make it to Verona, Italy. Any chance for touring dates? Posted by Ice Charades. Ice Charades: ...

Shows just how much fun spandex and sequins can be for anyone for 24/7. I love this quote from one of the three editors who donned figure skating dresses for the entire day, "I told a group of people who asked why we were dressed up that we'd just gotten back from Sochi. I think they believed me.". Land - and try fishnets instead!

An Ex-Showgirl's Blog About Ice Show Skaters. June 15, 2015. As every showgirl knows . The art of the quick change. It's demonstrated quite well in this clip filmed during the 2015 Tony Awards. She's calm, methodical, and not naked for the camera, but did you notice something else? How many dressers does she have? Four - one, two, three, four. I was impressed that a few of the Tony winners thanked their dressers as well as family and directors and producers. Not bad. Posted by Ice Charades.
