Glad to see Oksana is back into her "posting mode"!
Guest Book - About what's in the big glass at Navka's party, new costumes, and if the girl in the photo with her in Kirov is her sister.
[Oksana July 21]:Good evening!
I'm very glad to see so many people here!
About what's in the big glass at the party: it's Champagne! It's so much, it can only be Champagne!!!
The new costumes will be tailored in Russia. If we find interesting designers we might decide to have some costumes made somewhere else, but this will happen only halfway through the season.
The girl in the photo is my cousin Yulia, on my dad's side.
Off to skate now. Will answer more questions later!
About new programs, and the rumour that Slava Zaitsev might design next season's costumes
[Oksana - July 20]: Hello, hello to everyone!
Thank you for not forgetting about us, and for still checking our website, even after such a long, long break.
About the new programs: I'm sure you'll understand that it's a bit too early to talk about this. I can only say that the music has been chosen, and we are currently in the process of putting the programs together. We'll tell you more about this later.
About the costumes: I also heard the rumour about our costumes being made by Slava Zaitsev (Khokhlova and Novitski's 2008/09 costumes designer, who has been quoted in an article as saying he will create the costumes for the "world champions" - translator's note). I can assure you that this is not true. As usual the journalists messed it up, or maybe the designer himself believes that Khokhlova and Novitski are the world champions, who knows. Anyway it's not clear, but the rumour has nothing to do with us. There you have it![/b]
[Oksana, 19 Jul 2009]: Dear friends and supporters,
please forgive us for not keeping you updated with news from us for such a long time. Our stay in Russia with our beloved ones, vacations, Maxim's health and our return to the US: I'll try to tell you all about it in the near future.
For the moment I can tell you that all is going well: we have been training and working hard on the new programs. We are in a healthy fighting spirit!
We have so much work to do, and so little time.
A huge thank you for the humongous amount of music you sent: you are really helping us a lot.
Please write your questions: I'll answer as soon as I can.
Take care!
