2012 Illusion Mesh Trainwreck Awards

[mosca]

Welcome to the 2012 Illusion Mesh Trainwreck Awards! This is the first of three sets of awards I give annually to the best, worst, and most flamboyant figure skating costumes of the season. It's the sixth consecutive year I've given these awards, and this year, I almost forgot. Many thanks to the anon who hunted me down on Formspring and reminded

LOLarious commentary as always. Love all the Star Trek references.

[mosca]

Thank you!

It is not my fault that Team Japan is stealing costume ideas from old sci-fi.

[ashfae]

YES! Oh man I would've been sad if you skipped these awards, I love them. Hah. Kaitlyn Weaver looks like she's wearing a diaper to me, yikes.

[mosca]

Yay! Glad you look forward to these - it's fun to write them.

*giggles* i love love love these awards! although now i think i want some United Federation Skating Competition fanfic...

and also, Chock's outfit looks like it went to Brazil's Mardi Gras-equivalent and got hacked to death by all the more awesome costumes there.

Hee, skating in the Trek 'verse - never say never.

Chock's costume hurts my eyes. And my sense of decency.

[mosca]

Her belly button is buried under that giant crotch flower.

I wouldn't hate their costumes so much if they weren't doing Carmen. It might be an acceptable dress in another context.

These are amazing(ly awful!) - I'm impressed that you could put them in some sort of order, I think I'd have given up! I can barely muster words for most of them - but I do have to say that Lindsay Davis looks like she might have stolen her dress out of Natalia Mishkutenok's closet circa the mid-90s - blegh!

[mosca]

Heh. I've had lots of practice putting them in order and saying sarcastic things about them.

Davis & Ladwig definitely look like they crawled out of mid-90s Russian ice dance. And like the costumes have been gathering dust since then.
