From 7-27:<br><br>Michelle makes an appearance in
a Time magazine ad. The address of this pic is
<a href=http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Rink/9959/ad.jpg
target=new>http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Rink/9959/ad.jpg</a> .<br>You can
read what it says besides the pic,
but in the bottom, it says "Her grace and dignity won
something far more precious than gold; it won the heart of
a nation. The fact is, every American Olympic medal
ever won was because of you. Remember to support your
Olympic hopefuls in Sydney and Salt Lake City."

in December '99

The Teen Choice Awards, sponsored in part by
Seventeen magazine, will be airing on Thursday, August 12
on FOX. I was wondering if anyone knew a place where
you could find the winners for the female athlete
award. I think Tara won, but I still have hope for MK.
Thanks, bye!

For all non-members, I just thought I'd let you
know of my large pics 'database'. I have over 40 links
to pics of Michelle in her Carmen and Ariane
programs. Bye!<br>_________________________<br><br>Also
check out my links page to some of the best fan pages
on the WWW.

jkovner posted the following messages on the MK
Forum: <br><br>I met Michelle (she's absolutely
wonderfuly), saw her new programs (they're great), and was
recognized by Danny Kwan on the street. I was there for a
two-week training camp<br><br>Michelle looked great, she
has a new haircut that looks very good. I can't quite
describe it! She looks like she's in very good shape and
she looks mature. Her short program is great, she's
upping the difficulty of her solo jump. Well, Michelle
looks sexy in her new short, and if the Red Violin
cause a splash, wait until this hits the ice. Her
footwork sequence is difficult and innovative and her
spins are looking very, very, very good. Michelle is
putting more details and originality into both of her
programs this year. Her long program is extremely creative
and is paced very well. For example, her triple flip
is fairly late in the program. This season is a
second transformation--not as radical as it was four
years ago, but Michelle has gone from great, to
greater. I hope you enjoy Michelle's programs as much as I
did.<br><br>I'm deliberately not mentioning music! Her short
program is sexy in that the moves combining with the
music is a much more mature package, and it's not like
Maria B's slinky, slinky, short. No other skater has
presented a program like her short for the coming season!
Her layback position is different, and is beautiful,
but it is not the classic, Dorothy Hamill Layback.
Michelle changes her leg positions, according to what
would look good with her arms. However, in both
programs her spins are fast and inventive. Michelle's LP
is kinda dark and passionate. But stylistically it's
different for Michelle (I can't put it into so many words).
I really admire Michelle for trying to constantly
reinvent herself when she doesn't have to. Should I tell
you the music? Put yourself in my situation... I
don't know if Michelle's trying to keep it a secret
like she did with LA, and if she is I don't want to
undermine that.

I'm going to start a newsletter for this club. I'll send one to everyone every
few days. It'll include lots of news and features, and will continue
development. Bye!

Hi, My email is shufeng@... Please call me Sue. Thanks.

I have a question. I need pics for my site and I was wondering if I could use
your pics on the album. Thanks.

I made a Michelle club and I still need more
members. I've only got like 7 members. It is for like 8-16
year olds. Please join it. It has a weekly newsletter
with points and jobs. go to

I think I should tell ya that they aren't mine,
but links to other pages with the pics. You can find
Michelle pics at photographers' sites like J.B. Mittan --
<a href=http://www.nettally.com/jbmittan
target=new>http://www.nettally.com/jbmittan</a><br>or<br>Leah Adams -- <a
href=http://www.leahadams.com target=new>http://www.leahadams.com</a><br>You can
download the pics onto your own server, put 'em on your
club's site, and make sure you provide a link to the
photographer's site. That's what I did with my MK Fan Page. I
hope this helps, and I hope you will still remain
loyal to my club. Bye!

Please answer yes or no, so I can make sure:)

There is a new issue of IFS Magazine online. The
link is: <a href=http://www.ifsmagazine.com
target=new>http://www.ifsmagazine.com</a> . They mention
Michelle's new PC game, Caryn Kadavy is on the cover, there
are articles about Yuka Sato and Jason Dugjen (got
married), Jamie Silverstein and Justin Pekarek, and Roz
Sumners. The magazine is really interesting so check it
out:)

Michelle is awesome at competition and daily practice ! She's so much fun to
watch ! I met her at Ice Castles this summer.

Really cool Rockindiva! On the MK Forum, there
was a thread about someone meeting MK at Ice Castle
too this summer. His/her name was jkovner. Are you a
competitive skater too? Was Michelle working on her new
programs?

If you haven't read it already, Sandra Loosemore
has a new article posted on CBS Sportsline. It is
called "Gulf is narrowing between Gold, Silver" or
something like that (sorry). It does mention MK, but she
does not get a lot of credit. Check it out here:
<a href=http://cbs.sportsline.com/u/ce/multi/0,1329,1267433_10946,00.html
target=new>http://cbs.sportsline.com/u/ce/multi/0,1329,1267433_10946,00.html</a>

Really? I'll check out that person and see if I
know him/her. I'm a sort-of competitive skater,
Michelle was working on her new program and she sort of
changes it all the time because she doesn't feel
comfortable with the original choreography. I think she
choreographs her own programs now, with only a little help of
Elena (ballet), Lori (choreographer) and Frank to
"smooth" it out.

Yes, it's finally out (actually yesterday). You
can order it at Amazon for $6.99! The link is:

search, and it'll bring it up for you. Well, g2g now, and
hopefully I'll get this week's newsletter out to everyone
:)

Please give me your e-mail address, so I can send you my Michelle Kwan Fanatics
Newsletter :)You can post it here or e-mail me at g_bharucha@...

I will be attending the Keri and will be staying at the same hotel as the
skaters. Will get some great photos I hope.

Thanks for the info! I hope you'll be able to get
some great photos too! Maybe you can write some
reviews and tell us how Michelle does too. I hear that
Naomi, Maria B., Alexei Yagudin, etc. will be there.
