Your Hair Looks Olympic-y

Posted in Olympics at 17:36 by Mul

I have been at the edge of my seating waiting for this announcement. BOCOG (which, I am certain I am not first to suggest sounds like a Bond villain organization plotting world domination) has announced the official hairstyles and make-up of the Olympic medal presenters. The hairstyles and make-up are intended to be “compatible with the concept of sports, while still reflecting the spirit of Chinese youth.” Please, someone, explain what that means. For hairstyles to be compatible with sports, do they need to be aerodynamic? Wouldn’t a shaved head be more appropriate? I guess the hairstyle with the Olympic ring headband seems compatible enough. To me, the only hairstyle compatible with sports and the Olympics is this one. Or maybe this one. One last one.

Mul NOTES: Sure enough, Google informs that The New York Times has made a similar crack about BOCOG. Great minds and all that.
