Like most of you, I am chomping at the bit here about the Olympics. Like Char, I was riveted to the summer, 1972 games in Munich. I think I can even one-up her here (in an old geezer way, go me) and say I remember the 1968 winter games in Grenoble. That’s when I laid eyes on Peggy Fleming and knew that I had to skate. It seems like just about everyone is an Olympic sponsor of some kind these days. Coke, Adidas, P&G, Chobani and a multitude of others. I made a quick jaunt around the house to see if I had any “Olympic” products. Here’s what I found:
Yes folks, official Olympic mascara. Rarified air, I know.You probably already knew I have enough Adidas running gear to sink a battle ship. I won’t even show you. But as I pawed through my workout gear drawers in search of Adidas, I found a unitard. A. Unitard. Why am I even admitting to this? Not an Adidas one, but still…you know I had to try it on.
Add some feathers and metallic face paint and I’m ready for Cirque du Soleil no? Add this one to Camp “WhatwasIthinking?”
What Olympic athlete(s) inspires you?
Do you have “official” Olympic products laying around like I do?
Is it sad that I don’t even know any olymipc athletes?? I have only been in this “athletic scene” for a year, so I have no clue. I never cared for individual sports, I was always more into volleyball, soccer and hockey so I’m especially excited to watch some runners race now that I can relate …..kind of 😉
Sigh.. I have no cable. I hope I can still watch the olympics!
Why, pray tell, would you own a unitard? Please say it was for skating and nothing else! Hahah. That just made my day. You look great in it though…no way I’d take a picture of my flab in one.
My friend wanted to do an OWS tonight…I was like, “Are you kidding? It’s opening ceremonies for the Olympics, I’m not doing anything!!” She didn’t really get it. What??
ok, I just have to say how much I LOVE that you posted a picture of yourself in a unitard. I’m not even entertaining the WHY DO YOU OWN A UNITARD question. If I had one? there would be absolutely ZERO pictures of me in it.
Here is my confession…. I enjoy the Winter Olympics WAY more than Summer.
I want you to wear this leotard for your next PR race. Please.
hahahahahaha! Why would one own a unitard exactly? I mean, not that you can’t rock it ;)!
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved watching gymnastics. Now I’ve added swimming and the marathon to my list of must see sports, but I still love gymnastics the most 🙂
Love the unitard! I recently had to fill out my Team USA “uniform” request, and one of the options was “hooded unitard”. When I left that blank, I got a note back saying I could not “opt out” of any clothing item. Guess I’ll be rocking it on a run soon 🙂
We’re excited, too… planning to watch the opening ceremony with some friends tonight and we’re all encouraged to come dressed up as our favorite Olympic sport… should be fun!
Olympic mascara? Who knew? And you are rocking the unitard–really, the options ARE endless with that!
I’ve got nothing Olympic related–pretty sad! But I can’t wait to watch. Hello Ryan Locthe (being a cougar here)
Hehe. – love the unitard. It reminds me of the good old ’80s when my business was in its prime and I was making g-strings left, right and centre. A unitard with a g-string over the top was a great look back then. A little superman-ish but we were game for anything.
Olympic mascara??? I can’t believe it! You found the strangest things. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Yes, it is extremely hot here in Rome, around 106 F, which is very unusual. I literally don’t go out, or I go out before 9AM and after 7PM.
Definitely can’t wait for the Olympics! I’m excited for almost everything, Mike is going to be DVRing up a storm tonight 🙂
I’m sure we have some products that are officially related to the Olympics at home, most of the water we bought on our trip was!
They’re finally here!!! Olympic mascara, eh? Nice, lol! I think all Olympians are awesome…to have that much talent, drive, and dedication and make it to the Olympics is just beyond impressive.
Love the unitard!:) Can’t wait until tonight!
LOVE the unitard. You should have worn it when interviewing the Bachelor 🙂
I’m so freaking excited for the Olympics.
OK – are you going to share why you have that unitard 😉
Cannot wait for the Olympics!!
I love this post – and that unitard photo is priceless!
I used to own a Mary Lou Retton leotard – I just adored her growing up. However, now I am starting to obsess over cycling! I haven’t been able to stop watching this weekend!
LOL! Aaahhhhh….. the unitard. I was never lucky enough to own one. 🙂

I love the unitard! My house has plenty of P&G and coke products. I don’t really have a favorite, I love watching them all. Last night, I stayed up way too late…Darn Olympics! 🙂
