{ Olympics 2012: Deconstructing an Icon }

Now, I'm not the biggest Olympics fan... but really I guess I don't get 'into' too many sports, unless it's South American Futbol, aka soccer. But the nationalism, spectacle, and tradition of the Olympics usually wins me over enough to enjoy a few games. This year, I think I might be watching for another reason, the fashion! Stella McCartney (yes, the last name is familiar cause she is Paul McCartney's daughter) is one of my FAVORITE fashion designers, and as of late I've been on a project runway / sewing my lil'  butt off kick, so McCartney's collection for Team Great Britain was something for me to really get excited over! Primarily made up of a deconstructed icon, the Union Jack, was a fun, new, modern way to re-interrupt the team uniform. Made by Adidas, the kit supplies over 900 British athletes with a total of approximately 175,000 items of clothing during London 2012, talk about a big deal! 

Adidas UK Marketing Director Nick Craggs said: ‘All eyes will be on the British athletes when they take the stage at the Games, so we wanted to ensure that they would be the best equipped team through a combination of leading technologies including PowerWEB and Climacool and a unified and striking team identity.’ {via}

This is the madness that happens when a country has no beaches

Time to get down and hispanic! Just in case you missed it, last SNL was a pretty awesome, I'm not emBEARassed to admit I'm a huge JLo fan, so this SNL seemsed extra awesome!

One of the best skits was the station Telemundo covering the winter olympics. I am always a fan of poking fun at hispanics, and this nailed it! Not to mention, since I am dating a cute Canadian which is really just a Mexican with a sweater. Watch below... (and take note of Hector's too cool member's online jacket... gotta get me one!)

this skit also got me remembering ?Que Hora Es? one of the best pokes at the ol' hispanic telenuevo and that ridiculous spanish class we all took in 4th grade. I can't tell you how many times I've zoned out and think about just rattling on about pollo or the bibliotheque... you know, so I sound legit...
