In addition to making photo collages, one thing I\’m really good at is loving America. As you can see from the college at left, I am no stranger to the American related fashion statement. On the right is the ultra fabulous USA Olympics gear my wonderful boyfriend gave me for Valentine\’s Day. And while I am on record as loving the Ralph Lauren patriotic teacher sweaters our Olympians are decked out in this year with a fervor that some find \”odd\” or \”unwarranted\” I\’ve noticed that a few other countries have really brought it in the fashion department this Olympics. Particularly with the hats. I love a good hat.
1- I\’m a big fan of the Russian ear flap hats with tassels and just the everything. And check out their unintentionally hilarious glove pattern!
2- These are my favorite hats. The Austrian team is rocking the knitted, giant ball tassel, lovely blue ski caps and making me consider emigrating there. And not just for the usual reasons. (Goat-themed marionette shows)
3- Slovakia (or Slovenia? I dunno. One.) loves the Olympics. Just loves them. These athletes don\’t just wear their hearts on their sleeve, but… (finish obvious joke for yourselves)
4- I would wear this every day if it wasn\’t sold out and now up to like $5,000 on ebay. $4,000 was my limit.
5- I\’m loving the Dutch ski caps as well. Unfortunately, I\’m seeing a lot of them on medal podiums. Honorable mention in this photo goes to another great Russian hat. It\’s comforting to look at the Russian uniforms and know that at least some of the gays helped with the Olympics.
6- Oh, Canada. The hats! The maple leaf gloves! The beards! You have truly put down your poutine forks and stepped up to bat.
7- I don\’t have a lot of words for this. But just look at the picture. It needs no words.
8- Canada again! Maybe if our fans dressed like that, our curling teams wouldn\’t be last and next to last. You should see the hat he wore to watch the alpine skiing though. Twenty-nine of the people in his section were treated for concussions.
