Common questions
No ice skates, what goes on the feet?
White sneakers or white boots. Nobody sees feet past the laced calves; the ribbon lacing does the work.
How do you get the perfect skater bun?
A hair donut plus bobby pins, twist the hair around the donut and pin every inch. The donut is the difference between a bun and a lump.
