Fashion is So(chi) Dumb

The Opening Ceremonies of the 2014 Sochi Winter Games were of course a spectacle, as all opening ceremonies are, complete with pomp, circumstance, some nostalgic love for Mother Russia...and some of the worst team outfits I've seen in awhile (who are we kidding , they're simply the worst team outfits since the last opening ceremonies). Anywhoo, we have a recurring bit to finish, so on to our vinners...

Team Germany - the German designer claims these are not at all a shot at homophobic host country Russia. Yep, gotcha, and Cinna didn't design Katniss' MockingJay dress to cause a stir (that reference was done specifically for zwoman).


Team America - these sweaters have been panned for weeks now, there ain't much else to say. I'm pretty sure Andy Williams doesn't even approve of these.


Team Bermuda - you just couldnt help yourself, could ya? Had to wear shorts. F U, Bermuda.


And finally, I could not leave without showing some love for my new favorite announcer (announcing duo) - Johnny Weir dressing like Paul Reubens in "Blow" is fab (that Lipinski stare is...something...):

    The Germans have a rich history of tolerence and respect for diversity.

    I love Bermuda. Love the island, love the beaches, love the rum. Love the shorts. Love "smart casual" attire. It's perfect for dorky WASPs like me.

    Mainly I love the rum.

    I'm happy to have had a hand in semi-ruining Hey Jude for you, Clarence.

    I drive by a Jaguar dealer twice a day and every time I'm like "Gaaaaah! Must have!" at the F Types. I stopped once to ogle. When you look down on one it has the E Type's wasp waist and upturned rear deck. I don't like the centered exhaust but it's a damn good looking car.

    Every four years I say to myself "Speed skating is fun to watch" and the I don't watch it again for four years. I guess hanging out with TR provides all the beefy-thighed man time I need.

    I find the Dutch love/obsession with speed skating fascinating. I didn't learn about it until the last Winter Olympics. And I hadn't thought about it since. Until today.
