I'm Back and I've Got Big News!

Guess who's back?  It's ME!  Yes, I know, I've missed all of you too!  So it's been three years (to the day!) since my last post here on Naked Ice.  As promised, I'm back...but things are going to be a little different around here...

Managing this blog was a labor of love and I'm immensely proud of it.  However, I'd been feeling like I wanted to take Naked Ice to the next level.  It was an idea I bounced around for the past year or so and, finally, I decided to just go for it.  So...

I started a YouTube channel!

Naked Ice is Taking a Break!

Hi all!

After giving it lots of thought I've made the decision to take a break from my blog for this season.  I'm not sure if I'll take the Grand Prix off and pick it back up for nationals, or if I'll take the entire season off and come back to blogging full-time next season.  As of now, it's an indefinite break.

I will, of course, continue to follow the season as I always do--the only difference is I won't be talking about it at length here on my blog.  However, I will be around on the forums and I'll give my quick thoughts on Twitter too, so make sure to follow me if you don't already (@NakedIceBlog).

Thank you so much to everyone who has continued to check in over the years.  I'll be back, I promise!

2014-2015 Season

5. Samantha Cesario's "Carmen" FS

"Carmen" is so overused but Sammie's amazing program breathed new life into this battered old warhorse.  This is my all-time favorite "Carmen" program.
