I HATE it when I'm right (sometimes)

Yep Sasha stopped, dropped and rolled.....crap.

I hate it for her. Although truth be told, her prospects for post amateur lucre are so much brighter than the days of say, Dorothy Hamill

Cause really the only games in town were Ice Follies and Ice Capades.

And if you weren't golden, you were gone. Back to the rinks to drum up a living coaching. Which isin't all bad and can be very rewarding, but really isin't all THAT!

But Brian Boitano was the one who changed all that. Why you might ask?

Because he shared the wealth. Coming off his gold, he formed his own show. Gone were the hokey cheesey acts of Follies and Capades. And stupid group numbers. And single one draw stars.

Hello lighting and mood and rockin music with LIVE bands and the ultimate skater's reward ARTISTIC CONTROL!!!

The skaters were given carte blanche to cut LOOSE, have FUN! Not concepts that were or are associated with the highly controlled and often stodgy world of amateur skating.

His show generated so much buzz, that it led the way to organized professional competitions.

Hello money! Hello entertainment! Hello life after amateur!

So while I'm sorry Sasha dusted her tushy. I also know she's going to be okay, more than okay really.

Cause she's got the IT factor and she's got options.

Those two things ARE golden!
