Skating stuff

First, a question: Does anyone have ideas for 60s/hippie things I could use to add character to my skating program to "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"? So far I have a tie-dyed shirt and an ending pose with a peace sign. I can't think of much else that wouldn't involve props (which are allowed, but I don't like them) or danger (bead necklace hitting my face in a spin, flower falling out of my hair and creating a trip hazard on the ice).

I didn't skate for all of May due to a combination of work, hockey, pain, and more work, but I'm trying to make up for it this month. It helped that this weekend there was finally some ice that wasn't at the crack of dawn.

Since I missed a month, I axed Freeskate for the August competition and am just doing Light Entertainment. As of today, I finally have all the steps memorized and can do them in time with the music. P has more faith than I do in my ability to make simple edges look jazzy/swingy/interesting, so I replaced some of those with slightly more intricate footwork, and I think we're both happy with it. The biggest challenge now is the spin at the end, which involves first raising the left arm, then switching to raising the right arm while the left goes down and back and touches the blade of my free right foot. I've managed it several times, but it's not consistent yet.

Non-skating things: I wandered back to Tumblr for a while. Same username. Fannish stuff is now mostly there.
