How some textile designers find work is beyond me, some of those prints were absolutely shocking! If I'd have come out with any of those things whilst I was studying textile design at college it would have been insta-fail. How do people think these things look good?? xx

And a lot of celebration of working stiffs, the gar-garage outfit, the country bumpkins... and ew, the Burberry!

Norwegian curling pants

Those . . . amazing . . . pants at the curling venue belong to the Norwegians.

The Burberry print is horrendous.....

Well, if you can't wear goofy pants while participating in a goofy sport, then where can you wear them?

On Halloween. At a circus (if you're the clown).

The behavior of spectators is worse than an ugly outfit.

Canadian curling fans leave Danish player in tears
A Danish curler was brought to tears after a boisterous Canadian crowd intentionally distracted her during crucial shots in her team's match against the home nation. With the crowd stomping and making deafening noise, Denmark skip Madeleine Dupont missed two potentially game-winning shots and tearfully blamed the fans for it afterward. Canada won the match 5-4 in an extra end.

Or maybe it is? [huh]

Excuse me, goofy sport?

Watch out, guys, we have a well known curling fanatic in our midst!
But really, it seems the Scots have always had a genius for inventing wonderfully loopy forms of amusement. Consider golf!

the five months pregnant thing hurts it even more

Sorry, I was just responding to the "truly bloodcurdling" aspect of the OP, not what you posted. I should have quoted it.

I have nothing against the curling trousers, it's all good fun

But the figure skating costumes on the other hand... I think it is an impressive sport but the costumes are a distraction.

I think it would be more distracting without them...

I do think the Russian ice dancers' outfits and routine were quite rude. Pretty ignorant.

I quite liked the US snowboarding outfits. They were culturally appropriate.

Yes it caused a bit of a stir here as you can imagine. It is actually pretty offensive. What's with the rubbing noses? That's a Maori greeting and nothing to do with Australian Aboriginal culture. It's just so wrong on all levels.

The brother riding his sister, in her Daisy Dukes, like a truck bothered me a bit more.
