Something really crazy/wonderful about these modern olympians

Yeah!  this was so fun to watch last night.  along with women’s downhill skiing - what a thrill!  I was squealing on the couch sipping hot cocoa.

But Peter and I did wonder… why do the women have to wear so much make-up?? That was kind of sad (and just weird with Cusamo’s tiara).  They are already beautiful and have the most amazing bodies and talent.

The Olympics are compelling, that’s for sure, and Andrea and I picked a good first night to watch them. Women’s Downhill had three wipeouts and a great narrative (the girl putting on the tiara prematurely deserved to be knocked down to second with that kind of karma going against the injured favorite) and Half Pipe is always a pleaser with it’s own great SW narrative as well (what a sport that can be played in jeans). All in all a lot of fun, and I don’t pretend to understand/appreciate make-up in any context, Olympic podium or not.
