An Evening With Pink Pantheress

 

Last year, the USA brought home a gold medal in female figure skating. It has been 24 years since this last happened. The most interesting thing about it is the alternative freestyle program performed by winner Alysa Liu. She retired from ice skating at 16 to go live her life. Two years later, she returned and eventually claimed the hold.

You can tell there is something different about Alysa. She has a racoon striped long hair. Her build is thick. She has a self pierced upper lip. She was conceived using IVF. Her dad is a Chinese man who escaped China.

Alysa chose a song by British singer Pink Pantheress for her winning freestyle entry. I have come to realize that Pantheress sings many songs used by TikTok videos. For instance, one song goes, "My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you. You're recommended to me by some people". My interest in Pantheress is piqued.

Pantheress is now on tour in the USA. It is called An Evening With Pink Pantheress. She is coming to my area. She plays on a Sunday and Monday in May. Tickets are a whopping $200. This is for general admmission. It is standing only. I did find $82 tickets for Monday on the resale market. Tried to get my buddy to go with me. He declined.
