"Lysacek’s skating was divine on Tuesday night, but his costume was nearly unwatchable: black strips of fabric wrapped and wrapped around the bodice as on a sinister mummy, a sparkly strip of fabric around the neck like a gaudy necklace, feathers at the wrists (song choice: Stravinsky’s “Firebird”), and what looked more than anything like rolled black pipe cleaners at the shoulders. The slicked-back hairdo didn’t help. Lysacek is built like a truck driver, and the whole ensemble just looked … unseemly. As he waited for his results, and the camera treated us to a close-up, I kept wanting to protect his dignity by averting my eyes."
