Missed my plane from Socchi, just getting home now

What's up Internet! I got trapped in Sochi and I couldn't make it bak TIL now !!!!!

As KOJAk said the Olympics are over FROWNY FACE. SAD TEAR FACE. Angry face. Finally accepting it face. 

There were many """"bloggable""@ fashions #olympicfashion hashtags !!! 

Butt it turns out we had a small number of rsbfart posts. Even tho on day2 I was all like "YA BRO IM GONNA bLOG FASHION EVERYDAY OF THE o-pix "" it just didn't happen. 

In short I have to summarize with a few screen shotzz. (Even tho I was there I needed to get my vizualz from tv or Puter. 

So let's talk bobSLEIGH paint job. USA sucked. I'll say it again. The expensive  2 man BMW designed USA bobsled looked like a damn drone or apache helicopter. It was all corporate power graphics. I was NOT a fan! On the flip side let's talk Netherlands paint job. 


Ok. Orange. For a start. And also just some good old fashion BLACK FREAKING FLAMES. It's like dukes of hazard meets a dangerous ink-shooting squid. And tho they didn't place (I don't think) they surely trumped the old USA on style. Now. let's talk Belgium. Ok it's basically your three colores = GOLD MAD GOLD FOOL. BLAK AND RED. Simple yet elegant and connoting of gold. USA take some vizzzzual advice. Don't be lame as hell!!


Ok let's move on to ice dancing. I hate to go there, because as you know GENTLE READER I am not a fan- so much. But again - as you know- my cold hard heart of a fearless bloodthirsty warrior is softening in old age and I find myself gazing on the ice dancing in spite on myself. 

Here is a charming #. He is "the little prince" and if u r wondering YES IT IS THAT Little prince. 

Let's move in for a tighter close up on them pants!

Ok
Moving on 2 curling. Now just when you thought Goood Old ROCKY was a USA hater. You were wrong becuz- let's scope
The USA curling outfit. 

Thought I would hate it?? Rong! Actually I like it and why.  Because it's reel. It shows a real American dude. Not really in shape. Just got a regular long sleeve Tshirt. And a baseball hat. You might see this guy at Applebee's getting chicken wings and then a fettuccine. And you'd be like- 'hey there's just a regular guy. Not some wild athlete". I like that about this dude. 

Now there was much HyPe about norways curling pants. And for the most part they lived up to the hype. Norway and mc hammer kno the power of these pants. And look at this dude. If u saw him at Applebee's you'd be like "DID APLEBEES just turn into handsome boy modeling agency?"


And of course we won't leave out the Host Nation. I'll let the outfit speak for itself and then the guys expression speak some parting words. 
Rocky!

Luge gloves

Ok. Now ONE OF THE ORINGINAL intentions of #olympicfashion blogging was to talk about how Olympic styles can be integrated into your daily non Olympic life. Today id like to TALK ABOUT LUGE GLOVES. THEY HAVE GRAAT SPIKES FOR grilling the ice !!!@&$

Why not wear them if you are expecting someone to break up with you and then-- OUCH!!! That 'slap in the face' is going to sting JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. a great idea for valentines day :) :) :;( €|^]*#>

Day 2 Bowtie trends in iced dancing

Ok so many of you faithful readers know that I am pretty ANTI-iced dancing. See this CLASSIC RANT !&@$@! http://rsbfart.blogspot.com/2010/02/anti-twizzle-campaign.html?m=1

However bizarrely in my old age my heart is softening in a slight way -and it is not as hard and cold as a cold hard rock. Basically what I am saying is that the ice dancing was STILL UNACCEPTABLE as a sport - ie it is too highly dependent on artificial narrative . And yet there were a couple ----ok---- fashion items.  Below this guy rocked a
Bow tie and had a matching "Face of COnfiDENCE".  He was a iced dancer from ITAL VITAL (Italy)
And the entire ensemble with partner was pretty decent too. Her skirt was tasteFul in length and reminds of (I Donno sailing?)


Ok let's
Get into this whole "narrative" issue with iced dancing. I am reflecting - and this is what I have arrived at: Most of the year we Americans view sports that are not about "judgement" but rather about "who gets a better score" so that's what the Olympics bring us: "judgement" sports. Anyway. And apparnetly ine of the things that is being JUSGED in iced dancin is """storry""". Well so the most compelling narrative (theater wise) was this "nerdy professor" and spicy tempstress that decided to go twizzling together. Credit again goes to DEU (tho it would have been even cooler if they defied the hetero normative franework as per the "rainbow dreams" ski jackets) so- The male character came replete with elbow pads and (well another bow tie) and a sweater vest hahahahah!! And the thick frame glasses which (have they become nerdy again after being cool?)
Peas out --//"/"/"/ Rocky

OpenGL ceremonies (haha autocorrect


And we're off! I am blogging live from my phone. Luckily I have been in a northwestern state : WASHINGTON. And it's nearby to a neighboring country. And that country is Canada. So that means I watched CBC and CBC just looped the Opening ceremonies over and over. I actually took notes. Nothing really blew me away. Except this one dude from Venezuela who had so much spirit. It didn't matter what he wearing 
 

Well plus the outfit is pretty good basic colors anyway. Aaaaanyways you limited options when it's winter. Most teams just give up and and wear ski jackets. Except for Bermuda who stick true to their climate and undying apparel association. And wear shorts. 
And of course the DEU Germany Deutschland knocked it out the box with their pro gay rainbow wear. 
What else. I thoughT Albania had a nice touch by wearing their scarves on the OUTSIDE?!? of their jackets. Subtle but well played Albania. Well played

Argh this autocorrect is making my typing way too pretty. Well folks that's all u got for ya to night .

Nose Plugs. THE NEXT CRAZE

For some reason I am not as upset by synchronized swimming as by ice dancing. One interesting thing, is that its all about SPARKLES. and Under water Makeup which I think could be good for the general audience that wants to jump in lake and still maintain a fantasmagoric image. Another thing is the SYNCRONIZATION- I wonder at what point we started valuing synchromization as a sport. its not like RACING the CLOCK , or hitting a target. There are some verging on hipter songs that are used and some that are really cheesy techno/. Finally-last prelimnary commnent- is that it is slightly suspect when you are meant to control your facial expression in a sport (OR IS IT- MAYBE this IS A GREAT SPORT)-- or maybe we should hvae a FACE OLYMPICS!

But to get to the real fashionn lesson we can learn from synkronized swimming, its the NOSEplugs. When you want to look as great as possible, but just want to throw something a little weird in there-- how about reaching  for  noseplugs, Its sure to stop any air (or water!) from going in your nose and it makes you look squeegie

Day 2 fasihone SHooting, and colors

Follow up on fashion headwear
AS you can see Teams with higher fashion often times sometimes are the best. For example S. Korea in archering. Awesome glasses and checkerboards on the undersides of their short-brimmed hats.

also this guy from Mexico. He is happy to wear a bracelet and wire frame glasses. Just rocking his own casual style. I respect that he doesn't get too wrapped up in the "sporty" look.


In fact when it comes to Casual- all SHOOTING sports are hitting top bullseyes. Why not strike a pose? Here is a fashion forward tip you can use for your everyday LIFE< JOB< ETC. Its called a shooting eye patch (actually i don't know what its called) and goes over one eye ((SEE ABOVE)) to help you aim. Next time you want to "shoot for the top" of the bisness world and you have an important Business meeting, why not where a SHOOTING EYE  PATCH?


FINALLY in other news, the colors of the london olympics are promintnely RED and pink, MUCH like this blog. which bodes well for the bloggin olympics which we have allready won since they were held in ancient GREEcE.

OLYMPIC FASHION IS BACK: Todays article headwear

Dear Blog readers; I am back after a long Haitus. INSPIRED by the olympcs once again. Remenber if you wish to delve in the long history ofOLYMPIC fashion articles, just click on the label below. I am simply excited about a few of the fashions I have seen already this year.
For me this year it is not really about being unique, but about the special peices that each sport demands. For example: you will spot these hats on many archers:

Archery style Hat

 They remind  me of some of the hats that some highschool girls wear. I guess they are made with a minimal brim so they don't get in the way . AND of course a lighte white color to keep the head cool in a zen sport such as archery.


Table Tennis head scart
Also I was excited to witness Nigeria vs Iran in womens singles Ping Pong. and you can see that this woman was staying true to her way of life even in the heart of the west. I have to give some major fashion points to the matching color of the jersey and hijab.


Until Soon::

ANTI TWIZZLE campaign

Here is a subject you may know because I complained about it 4 years ago. Its called the Twizzle. and it even has a definition. This is more against ice dancing and how it embodies wackness in the form of twizzels and of course in HYPER THEatrical costuming and Imperialized Exoticisms as seen here.

Now since when did theater freaks get to have an olympic event. I can think of a few olympic sports that are not represented and I would Personally (THATS RIGHT ME PERSON:ROCKY) vouch that they would be FAR far far FAR FAR FAR far far MORE MUCH more better than icedancing. ANd here ladies and gentlemen are the sports which might replace icedancing. you choose.

BIRDWATCHING
: a hell of a lot more exciting.
Ping pong on ice
Icedancing except ALL of the dancers go at the same time and have permission to roller derby each other
Um.. walking? laser tag? axethrowing or any of the lumberjack sports? HECK anything is better than these TWIZZLES

flannel, polo, what's next?

just a brief note here on sporting fashion. I tired to check out CURLING to learn something new, the sliding release move was nice but the fashion in the ladies match germany v. russia was not nice. Like this:

bad polo shirts did not help convince me this was a legit sport (KOJAK)

OLymipc Fashionista #3 the "morals" edition

THERE is a BIG debate going on_)()+_______...>>>>>>>>
AND I CAN COMMENT ON IT becuase I am an AMERICAN and I CONTRIBUTE TO this very important BloG_. Its a debate that I KNOW
"ALL 2 WeLL"
and its about TIGHT pants. Now you may be pleased to know that i have just purchased my FIRST pair of tite pants and(BOY are they TIGHT). But look- its so late in the game that no one even notices!!! none of my close personal homeboys or homegirls notice. THEY don't say "My those pants are slender" they just ACT like its all NORMAL. Cuz. it is. I am NOT BREAKING THE MOLD. Now.. take this Slender and tite pants and put them on a snow boarder in the olympics and you think no one is going to notice?

Wrong. This dude noticed and he VOICED his moral outrage as he rightly should!! Because you see I agree. When I knowboard, or snowboard MY PANTS "R" huge@huge.com.

OK finally there is a dude- DALE begg smith who got the SILVER in the mogul ski run yeserday. HE IS SO FAR THE COOLEST. why?? because he does not sell out to sponsors/ he has his own private money and where does it come from? He has an INTERNET SPAM compnay HA! true its true. how awesome is that and WHO IS TO SAY THAT IT IS worse than HAVING "Cor0porations" define him!

Olmypics fashion report2


I was also able to catch the ceremonies thanks to a some friends with the HD. If anyone would like to review the outfits there is a really good resource here: /www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/13/olympics-opening-ceremony_n_461130.html

Here are Kojak's thoughts: Azeriebajain were the first to impress with their "pantalones extremas" but I was not into the furry hat.

Bermuda had shorts, cool but a little too gimicky.

I agree that Monaco was pretty sweet. The consensus in our group was "James Bond villains"

Czeck got cut off on TV but upon further review I have to say they had a sweet modern style.

Finland was similar but was ruined by one guy rocking really bad light denim.

The end of the alphabet was generally weak, USA bad

O-ymPIC Fashion report #1

the crisis was averted. i plugged in my internet cable to my TV. Boy I hope the olmpics are all they are craked up to be and don't dissapoint........

NOW FOR ROCKY OLYMPIC FASHION REPORT
Last nite we saw a limited number of nations because olympics of the winter mean COLD and there are lots of nations out there that are not cold. But often time they send one LONE man or woman to represent. For example Jamaica, Pakistan, Ethiopia. I had two special notes last night FOR ME:: the big winners and the highest gold medal count in terms of fashion after our opening day was... MONACO. yes Monaco had fablulos sweaters and little scarves. I am going to give the silver medal to germany cuz, although their jackets were "TECHED" out they were pretty cool. and third place goes to mongolia, because their flagbearer got comments my lady friend
and thats ROCKY WITH THE OLYMPIC FAHIOSN REPORT!!!!

'Pic Rap Down

It certainly has been a while: Rocky slackering? I did want to talk about one of the Jamaican women that has a hairstyle worth noting. Unfortunately I can't remember her name at this time. All I can say is that her hairdo was excellent. It was sticking up like she was in vogue magazine but also kind of punk. WELL ITS SUNDAY and that means the olympics have come to a close. Over all I would say these games some of the themes included. Braces and Glasses. These proved to be some of the fastest people and it goes to show that just because your face might be messed up in some way, it doesn't mean that your body is messed up or dysfunctional. Other than that. There wer a lot of young people IE BORN IN 1994 (WHEN I WAS IN HI_SCHOOL!) yes they revealed controversy of a young lady that said she was born in 92, yet there was evidense for a 94 birth. I didn't even know they made people that young. I gues it just goes to show you how old and decrepit I am getting. My olympic hopes are getting limited to certain sports. But at least I have a few choices that don't require any physical endurance. For example rifle shooting.

OK one final comment on the broadcasting. 1. This may mark the first time where any entity has tried to declare an all out war against Youtubing, cuz you can't find SH&*((^&*&(*T on youtube and NBC want you to watch on ther proprietary player that only runs on certain computers. NOT COOL NOT COOL. we live in an age where you must not resist change but harness its feelings.
2. As for your PRIME""""TIME:" schedule Barf: How much swimming gymnastic Beach volleyball- and thats pretty much it can I watch? AND WHERE MY DEAR FRIEND IS THE TABLE TENNIS FOOLS???? THANKS FOR SHOWING THAT YOU CHUMPS AND IGNORING WHAT IS BY THE far THE GOLD MEDAL SPORT AMONG SPORTS. WRONG DECISIONS TO NOT FEATURE THAT IN PRIME TIME AND YOU WERE WRONG

finally some fashion!

with the encouragement of rocky and cermak I have been trying to get on this olympic fashion bandwaggon...as has been noted its slim pickins in the pOOl. I must say the diving BOARDs are a little better .. At least it;s more naturalistic (how about a regular looking swim suit with the countries flag) and not negative fashion: FASHIONphelps < 0 :(

In gymnastics the coaches have more style than the participants (track suit) and the pundits are best of all. What up BELA the romanian pundito! You've always got a nice contrast b/w tie and jacket PATTERINS

I think track will be a turn for the better -especially the ladies. For example the JAmaican 100m winner had a nice style: BRACES AND HEADBAND - very nicely color coordinated, junior high retro like gleiking!!!

Bland

Well folks there is not much that seems notable about the fasion in the olympics at this point. If you beg to differ please feel free to au contraire me in the comments- but I just don't see that much FASHION SENSE in these olympics. There is "the kid" a young guy on the Chinese Gymanastic team that has a pretty good haircut.. Hm what else. Swimming? Actually I guess there have beens some cool GOoooggLe Styles. From Clear to to MIRRORED ala a Green Eyed fly, and the occasional NOSEPLUG which makes for a funny sight. All the swimmers makes some excellently funny faces as they adjust the suction force of their goggles b4 the Race. Rocky, for the Fashion Times

Ice Dancing YOU LOSE

I don't thing anyone no matter what their orientariotion is will not disagree with me when I say that ICe Dancing iS """"GAY""" What I mean is STYLISTICALLY GAY nothing to do with the s%%^%^^X. Gayest sport ever? Well Speekwalking is pretty gay. But I would have to say that ice dancing is gayer. Any sport that has a required element called a TWIZZLE is. ......... NOT A DAMN SPORT. ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT FIGURE SKATING IS IN THE OLYMPICS, NOW YOU HAVE TO SUBJECT US TO SOME WIMPY BASTARDIZED FORM OF FIGURE SKATING. Not to mention the dresses are ludicrous. And not the rapper Ludicrous. They are riduclous ritardarded. As specially in the case of the feuding italian lover dancers that will not look at each other just because the BOY DANCCER SLAMMED THE GIRL DANCER INTO THE GROUND

hi its saturday and its hoochoo foot

WARNING: STREAM OF CONSCIOUS WRITING MAY ENSUE, READERS WITH SICKLY STOMACHS SHOULD BE ADHERED TO THE PRECEEDING WARNING AND SHOULD GO DRINK A GLASS OF WARM MILK AND CRY THEMSELVES TO SLEEP.
There's a classic song and its called Paper moon. I sang it in Karaoke, many moons ago. There's nothing like a classic song to make you feel like you "may" not be alone in the world, but you may be in the world with other souls.
In fashion today, there is an areodynamic woman skeletor runner (by the way olympics knowers: is she rolling with the dudes or WHAT?) UNDERstand???
obviously the most drama_tic moment in this sport is the "launch off the ground and land on you tummy dance" Yo I can do that dance in slo mo. Its called go to sleep under mad warm covers and sleep like peaceful lamb shishkabob and dream about uncharted territories.
