Wait, WHY aren't we all sharing our favorite Olympians? A 20 minute conversation with my gay friend has given me more names to oggle than this whole board put together. Although, Pussygalore just introduced me to my new favorite, James Magnussen. He's like my (as my best pal so eloquently put it) "cafe-sitting beardy dude" ideal, but with an Olympian athlete's body: With hair: Without hair: With clothes on: And then this one just because:
AM neglected to mention my personal favorite, US swimmer Nathan Adrian. Hot damn, I'd let him ruin me:
I'm just gonna throw this out: every swimmer. Holy cow. I wish I had a 24-hour stream of male Olympic swimmers on demand. I'd even take Phelps and just put a bag over his ugly mug.
Seriously. I wish I didn't have a crush on that Ryan guy, but I do. I'm sure he is the biggest tool in existence, but that's fine. Here's the British diving team:
So in the next 10 days sometime, A friend is getting back in the country after having been out of town for a while. He's arranged to rent my spare room for 3 months before he goes off again. He was a national representative swimmer with the amazing chest and abs and swimmers V in highschool, then he went and joined the armed forces as an infantry medic, now he's working as a skiing and rock climbing instructor. I have no idea how he managed six years in the military in combat zones for four and a half of those years since he has none of the ego or machismo I'd expect from an elite athlete or an infantry grunt. He's doing some side work as a submissive male fetish model. He's paying his rent for the next 3 months by keeping his shirt off and cooking my meals. There's no point to this story, I just wanted to gloat.
It is a goddamn crying shame he's such a douche, that's what it is. I have been enjoying the 2004 and 2008 replays in which he had a goofy mop of hair, however. Anyone remember Aaron Piersol? He had the Lochte look with a lot less jackass.
Does this mean that every time you feel like some eye candy you can scream MEDIC and it will actually appear?
Alright ladies: a clothes problem. I'm looking for a classic black pencil skirt. Nothing cut on the bias, and nothing with horizontal striping or stitching. Sleek, black, pencil. The problem is I'm 5'3, and any true pencil skirt comes down well past my knees. Anybody have a suggestion for a Canadian retailer that would sell a classic pencil in petites?
As somebody who is not 5'10", I have discovered that tailoring is my friend. My hardest areas to fit are my overly large rump, and if it fits there, the waist is way too big. So I fit that, then get everything else tailored to size. I can't even remember the last pair of pants that I didn't have to have taken up in the length. Tons of places, from Nordstrom, to Banana, to J. Crew also offer free alterations.
I typically hem my own pants, because I enjoy sewing. But just once I'd like to buy something OTR and have it fit nicely.
Gap has one - it does have two seams down the front (not sure how you feel about seams) but it's available in petite and they ship to Canada. $55 and the reviews (on the US site - Canada site didn't have any) are pretty good.
I don't mind verticle seams in the front, but when manufacturers sew horizontal seams (or worse, use a horizontal pattern) I just shake my head. Who would want their ass to look WIDER?
Speaking as someone with a wide ass, pencil skirts are not the way to go. It's a style for little bottoms.
I missed all the Olympian Love somehow. So I say fuck this current batch of swimmers. Who remembers this guy?
