A quick review of bad skating "fashion" for the 2007-2008 competitive season. Bad skating fashion (aka "eurotrash" or "dressing like a 10-ruble Russian whore") is a combination of the following:

- Flesh paneling
- Gloves
- Animal print
- Depictions of animals
- Neon
- Mesh
- Gold skate blades
- Dripping with glitter/sequins
