Pimp my Olympic team

Have you ever watched "Pimp My Ride"?  It's a TV show where they take bland, unappealing cars and highly customize...."pimp"....them until they become desirable (?).  They're usually really over the top:

I'm guessing that show is popular in Norway, too, or at least with the Norwegian Olympic Curling team, as evidenced by their uniforms....

Business attire

...and when they want to step out on the town.  So much for the calm, introverted Scandinavians, huh? :)

OMG!  Even the host Russians are making a fashion statement!  (I just wish they'd learn how to smile.)

Spain is tarting up, too.

Which leaves the USA.  We look like the valet parking attendants at the Ritz Carlton (circa 1972).  Is it too late for a mad shopping spree at....umm....you know....one of those cool hip stores 63-year-old white men aren't allowed in?

Speaking of the upcoming Olympics, I also read that the Rooskies are trying to spiff up their image with their international guests attending the Sochi Winter Games.  Here is a restroom facility at one of the venue sites.  Quite modern, eh?....

It's actually an upgrade from back in the Commie days when a "two holer" was just that....two holes in the ground. Oddly, the two toilets have to share one roll of toilet paper.  I guess that's one way to get people to work together.  ;)

Peace, out.
