epitome of grace

since i was little figure skating has been the only sport that i would actually sit down and watch.i can remember being glued to the television watching guys and gals move across the ice so effortlessly.it was like they were dancing on air, floating on ice, or preforming some type of magic trick.so today when i found out about the first pair of black skaters to compete in the olympic games i was became immediately intrigued. Yannick Bonheur and Vanessa James created history today as they perform during the pairs short programme figure skating event in Vancouver ,and though they did not win their graceful movements helped remove any doubt that black is beautiful.happy black history month!
