[FSWer]

....That's right eveyone!!!!!! Sat. 9:05 PM. EST. on CNN. Larry King intervewed her!!!!! She was talking about how she became a skater, got to the Olympics,and how she feels,etc.Anyone else catch this?

[PaulWyliefan]

I didn't. Did she say whether she's going to be at nationals this year?

[FSWer]

Unless I missed it,no. She just mainly talked about her skating and the make-up she uses.

I did catch the last 1/2 hour of the show last night. They had a bunch of women on the show talking about beauity tips etc... Wearing make-up etc..... They had different women who are in the spotlight, giving their tips and opinions (wearing make-up, styling your hair etc...)

Truly a fluff piece. What is Larry King coming to? Sarah has so much more to offer, I thought she was out of her realm. Why did they pick Sarah for makeup chat? I never quite thought of Sarah as a "makeup" type skater. She has been more of a natural young girl look and I don't really think that having gobs of makeup on make a huge difference if you are a quality skater. I understand that facial expression and feeling in character are important in skating, but the skating world puts way too much emphasis on that stuff. Why can't we be like other sports...and judge on the elements and talent more and false eyelashes and red lips less. Sarah is more than a pretty face. Just a thought. OK now you can attack me for being so wrong. BTW, I like and wear makeup.

butterfly, I thought the same thing - I couldn't figure out what Sarah was doing on that show about make-up ... she hardly even said anything ... it was just strange :lol: but nice to see her anyway :)

I totally agree with you. Sarah is bright enough to know that you need to look your best. And too smart to live and die by what make up she needs to wear.

It was just really good to see she's doing ok--Feels like forever since the last time we saw her on TV.
The discussion was a bit on the fluff side, ITA, but she did do a lot more talking than what donnamarie suggests (Even a little more eloquently than before, I might add--The kid's growing up, what can I say? ;)). And this was much more screen time for Sarah, the likes of which we haven't seen since SLC.
