It's probably just the angle, Tabbi. Apolo's helmet is casting a shadow over his eyes. I love the "swoopiness" of this photo. He looks like a bird in flight.

I wanted to share my experience after going to the skating competitions in Cleveland yesterday. I live a good 45mins. from there. when i got there, I was very lost and nervous because I had never been to any of those events and I didn't know what to expect. The skating rink was long. It was cold to certain degree in there. I went with 2 of my friends who like me, know nothing about these events. we walked around to get a feel of the place. It was full of parents and little kids every where. When I was doing my rounds, I recognized one of the skaters who was walking around listening to his iPod. then we began looking for seats. We got there at about 6:50pm, so it was very full. as soon as we found seats, we began to look around. It was really cute and funny. All this little kids were running around playing not letting the people walking get through. A little girl fell and hit her head. She cried for a good minute until she was back to playing again. We got to see all the competitions but, the most interesting ones were the one Allison and Apolo were in because they were for the more grown up. Although, we had a blast looking at the younger skaters. They are amazing. Those kids made me feel fat and lazy. My reaction of Allison is that she is very fit and is actually very hot looking. Does pictures really don't do her any justice. I thought I was going to see this ugly girl with pounds of eye make up, but instead I saw a very pretty girl. She's very thin. She has an amazing body. Her upper body is thin and her lower body is larger. She does not have tree trunk legs. They are not thin obviously, but her legs look amazing. I wish I had a butt like hers. In the other hand, my reaction to seeing Apolo was shocking. He is very short and very, very thin. Like Allison, he has a very lean upper body and e very developed lower body. I'm not saying that I was in a bad shock, it was amazing. Apolo's a wonder in the ice. Its amazing how when he skates, he makes it look very simple. When he skates, Apolo looks as if though he's not stresses and at some point he was skating very slow and in a standing position that I though he was about to stop. Thats the way he starts his races. When there are about 2 to 3 laps to go, Apolo picks up speed amazingly and heads to the lead leaving the rest of skaters a good 40ft behind. He is amazing. Apolo is a wonderful skater. I couldn't believe the things he did on the ice. No one is like him, from what I saw from the rest of the skaters. We stayed for the awards ceremony which ended at 10pm. When Allison came to get her medal, she walks in a very cocky way. She walks as if she knew/thinks that she's the best thing ever next to coca-cola. It was funny. She took her hair band to have her picture taken. I could tell the she had put on some eye makeup for the picture . she is very pretty though. I was able to see what it was that Apolo saw in her for she is very attractive in person. When Apolo came to get his medal. He walked very slow and took time to glance at the audience waiting for him. . something that I noticed about him is that he looks very serious. He gets this don't-talk-to-me look but, it was late and he was racing so I'm pretty sure he was very, very tires. I do the same and I'm pretty sure others do as well. It was really cute to see that when Apolo comes out to skate, the kids run to the edge of the railing to get a closer look. When they say his name in the loud speakers, the kids scream and yell his name. They love him. It was really cute and funny. Its like the kids where in the presence of Mickey Mouse. Im sorry my post was too long but I wanted to share my experience. Sorry my pic looks funny, but my camera decided to act out when it came to taking pictures.

Andrew, you are man among men. Thanks for sharing your story. I love that Apolo was surrounded by kids, and I'm glad Alison turned your head a bit.
;D

Andrew, you are man among men. Thanks for sharing your story. I love that Apolo was surrounded by kids, and I'm glad Alison turned your head a bit. ;D Thanks but, Im a girl. My name is Andrea. My close friends and family began to call me Andrew long ago and it stuck. I doesnt bother me though. I kinda like it. Allison is very pretty and she has a great body. Im a girl and I can say that. One of the friends that went with me who's a guy said the same. Apolo is just like in the pictures. He's face is very handsome. His face has a porcelain texture. Im so jelous. Im giving up chocolate. I just went to see the races and to see him off course. I also saw Jordan Malone and he is also very, very short and thin. I'd like to know their secret. The one thing that I didnt like about Apolo was how thin he is in real life and how short he is. Other than that, he is beautiful. He does have an amazing butt. ;D I took a good look at the bottom part of Apolo's body. He is very serious. I didn't see him smile at all. Only time I saw him smile was when they took his picture. And I didnt see him talking to anyone fromt he audience. Then again he was very tired I suppose. He is human. I love him still. I understand. He is great. Never change Apolo.

I took a good look at the bottom part of Apolo's body. Hee! You are a lucky girl! Thank you very, very much for that wonderfully detailed account of your time at the competitions! As Elle said, you made me feel like I was there! So many of Apolo's fans (myself included) have been charmed by Apolo's radiant smile. Therefore, I was suprised when I read Haile Kim's comments that she used to be afraid of Apolo because he "doesn't smile." But she also said he is funny and is a nice guy. So, to read your observations of him not smiling is very interesting as well. I am sure he has a lot on his mind at times. Your observation of his thin frame has me a bit worried. Though I am looking forward to it, when I heard Apolo was to be on DWTS, I wondered how that would affect his weight. In the past, he has repeatedly mentioned how he wants to "try not to get fat" and "will hopefully get thinner and thinner," etc. I hope his preparations for the show will not cause him to become thinner than what is healthy for him. I have always thought Allison was pretty, so it's nice to read your impression of her. Your description of her strutting was hilarious! Great picture of Apolo. Thanks, again.
