The Adult Figure Skating community is very large in Los Angeles. For the most part I skate adult sessions at the Pickwick Ice Center in Burbank. Some of the people there just astound me. One of the men has got to be in his late 60s or early 70s and he has better jumps than I do!  I’m very jealous. Another of the women is probably also in her 60s.  Thankfully (for my own pride) I can still jump a little better than she can.  But she is still in incredibly good shape, and has more personality on the ice than almost anyone else I know.  She wore her competition outfit to practice the other day and was gracious enough to allow me to take a picture. Her program (for this costume) is to an instrumental version of the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar.” Yes, the Stones logo is made up entirely of Swarovski crystals.  Fab-U-LOUS!
