Ice Ice Baby

September 14, 2009 Riley Product reviews

I have always lived in hot places. Which means that in order for me to go ice skating, I had to wait for someone to turn some place like the downtown community center into an ice rink for a couple days/weeks in the winter, during which we could pretend we lived in a cold kind of place where water actually freezed and we could go ice skating.

I think because of my lack of opportunity to go ice skating, I sort of became enamored with it, a la the you-always-want-what-you-can’t-have syndrome.

The movie The Cutting Edge didn’t help. I used the watch that movie over and over… toe pick!

Then there’s the Olympics to contend with, and their darling ice skaters. The Olympics love their ice skaters.

Blades of Glory came along. And Amy Pohler earned a new level of respect in my book.

And then, there are ice shows. I think there is nothing better than taking any wonderful show to ice (unless Will Ferrell is in the production, I suppose). I even saw Carmen on Ice (after which I never looked at the Toreador Song the same way ever again).

This is all to say that Disney on Ice is coming round your parts, and I am soooooo taking Little No Limit this December.

Visit here for more Disney on Ice info. Princess Classics show for sure. I suppose I’ll let her wear whatever Disney princess dress she wants. Oh, to be a kid. If I showed up at the Disney on Ice show wearing a costume, I daresay they’d escort me right back out. I can see the headlines now: Woman Wearing Obnoxious Cinderella Dress
Booted From Disney On Ice. “I just asked that they call me Cindy, she said.”

Hmmm… come to think of it, that could be a rather funny post if I did that…
