One more "report" from "Stockholm Ice" ... about all skaters - here are just parts about Zhenya
(I apologize in advance - girls on this site have a little "freer way of expressing" )

STOCKHOLM ICE REDUX
Me and my sister malvien finally got home today, so I come bringing STORIES. There are some photos of the actual show - not terrific, but some - but my camera died during the finale so no photos of when we MET THE GUYS. (YEAH DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT?!) Mal tried her best to make the photos presentable, and I included some that are kinda shitty because they're still kinda cool. :p LIVE WITH IT OKAY...
Zhenya's plushie, the... err... well, AMAZING TREE FROG WITH A SUNFLOWER. I um. Well, [info]malvien went "I WANT TO GIVE HIM A SUNFLOWER" (yes, it was because of Hetalia) and then we needed a plushie to go with it. AND FROGS JUMP OKAY, JUST LIKE ZHENYA. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. STFU.
........
So Globen told me earlier that there would be an autograph session, but they didn't know when or where yet.... We bothered some more staff to ask about any possibility of an autograph session and were shot down YET AGAIN. They did have about 40 copies each of posters that were signed by Steffi and Zhenya, but that just was not the same.
SO THEN we split up and got to our seats, which were all over the place. Ours were in A13, illemaintenant's in A21 or something and the other two, lucky bitches, had seats in A2 just by the skaters' entrance. They actually saw the skaters even before they were on ice and stuff, and apparently Steffi was being a dancing spaz there too a bit. :D
...
(... then "anotherdream" write who is all performed before Zhenya: Jamal Othman, Tatiana VOLOSOZHAR and STANISLAV Morozov, ADRIAN SCHULTHEISS. SARAH MEIER, ISABEL Delobel and Olivier Schonfelder, VICTORIA HELGESSON, FIONA ZALDUA and DIMITRI SUKHANOV...)
Then there was silence and darkness, and just the presenter person was talking. Someone came on ice and at first we were like SO WHO IS THAT. And then we stared for a while, looked at his speed and his costume and the way he skated so effortlessly. And then this guy started doing small jumps all around the rink, still in the dark but you could see him, like he was just going LAA DE DAA THIS IS SO EASY SEE ME JUMPING and we realized who it is. There were isolated shouts and then he was announced properly, and the crowd just EXPLODED. It was like THIS IS WHO WE CAME HERE TO SEE FUCK YEAH GIVE US THE KIIIIIING. It was amazing everyone even shut the fuck down when he started skating.
I am OF COURSE talking about EVGENI PLUSHENKO, FUCKING KING OF THE ICE. He did his tango program. He was so fast that most of my photos came out way too blurry - these are the ones that aren't COMPLETE disasters.
ook Zhenya, they're bringing you flowers!
In the end, he literally ran out of hands, his arms were full of plushies and flowers and the girls were STILL gathering more and he had to have them help him carry them to the backstage. Sadly I did not get good photos of this. If anyone finds photos of him on the ice getting all those gifts, PLEASE I want to see because he was holding our froggie in plain view :DDD
The difficult task of following up after the King was given to ALIONA SAVCHENKO and ROBIN SZOLKOWY. They skated a nice calmer program that I can't remember the music to but they got the crowd to calm down for the next act nicely....
(... then she writes as all akters once again performed, but no story details of performances, and no more shots because the camera was still on its deathbed )
SHOW WAS OVER. We did not despair! We headed to the entrance, bothered more staff, and eventually decided to go around Globen looking for an adequately suspicious door. We found one in no time. It conveniently had a sign on it proclaiming "BACKSTAGE" - how helpful! There were a couple of other girls hanging around so we decided it was probably the right place and waited.
People we saw but did not stop for autographs: Robin Szolkowy, Aliona Savchenko, Jason Graetz, Isabel Delobel, Olivier Schönfelder. IDK nobody was just very interested and/or they looked like they didn't want to be stopped. >.> First skater we DID stop: Berntsson. He, and the next one to come out, Adrian Schultheiss, looked a bit weirded out and/or amused that they were asked for autographs. BUT they gave them anyway and Adrian posed with the sign. We didn't ask if he got the plushie though. :D
SUDDENLY PLUSHY. He came out with a couple of assistants and I was almost sure he'd just walk past us, but he didn't! He stopped and signed for us when we asked. He didn't say much, mostly "thank you" and "okay" and stuff like that. He was all COOL~ and KINGLY~ and sort of intimidating and OMG. I babbled at him about how we've been watching him skate for like ten years and we came all the way from Finland to the show and I think I said "you're a god on ice" to his face, and he was just "okay, thank you". :DDD LOL WAS THAT FOR REAL. I don't remember much of what he said, I was too WHELMED I mean I've been stanning that amazing son of a bitch for over a decade and I didn't want to be all embarrassed and horribly fangirly >.>
malvien however WAS NOT FAZED and HUGGED HIM. Lucky bitch. Plushy has this ~force field~ of kingly awesomeness about him and I could never in a million years have asked him for a hug, but my baby sister did, and got a hug. AMG...
BONUS SCANS of the pages of the souvenir programme I got signed!

SO HER SISTER AND I WENT TO THIS SKATING THING IN STOCKHOLM YESTERDAY AND THEN WE MET SOME DUDES OUTSIDE THE VENUE AND THEY INSISTED ON TAKING PICTURES WITH THIS SIGN.
OK SO HERE'S THE STORY
PLUSHY WAS KINDA SCEPTICAL ABOUT IT WHEN I ASKED HIM TO HOLD THE SIGN, HE LOOKED AT IT LIKE HE THOUGHT I'D WRITTEN SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE'S MUM, IDEK
ALSO I WAS COMPLETELY INTIMIDATED BY THAT PLATINUM STARE, EVEN THO HE'S LIKE TIIIIINY TINY HIS AURA IS 10 FT TALL, NO KIDDING...
When he was asked to hold the ONTD_S sign he was a bit "WTF is ziis" and read the sign OUT LOUD in the most ADORABLE ACCENT. hence the comm is now titled ahhhenteedee skaatiing. I was wondering about this! HOW CUTE.
.......
PLUSHY IS KINDA INTIMIDATING BUT HE'S THE KING SO I GUESS HE HAS TO BE IDEKKKK
PLUSHY WAS ACTUALLY ALRIGHT AND VERY SMILEY AND HAPPY BUT WE JUST BOTH MANAGED TO TAKE THE PICTURE WHEN HE WAS BLINKING. FAIL FAIL FAIL. XD
