"What if your blog became as popular as Julie's in 'Julie & Julia'?!?!?!"


This was a question posed to me by my friend Ellie earlier today. There are a few answers to this question:

A) That would be AWESOME!
B) I feel like this blog might translate better to reality tv than it would to film.

That being said, here are the ideas Ellie and I came up with for reality shows based on/inspired by Ode to Olympic Spandex:

- a "Newlyweds" type show documenting my love affair with Spandy Andy

- a show that follows me around as I learn how to do various Olympic sports while also modeling each sport's unique spandex

- a show that follows me on my quest to meet Spandy Andy (would likely be the precursor to the first idea, may or may not include my Olympic misadventures along the way)

- a show that is straight up about spandex and the different capacities in which it is worn

Obviously I need to decide quickly since there is only a week and a half left of the Olympics!

    Nora... This is absolutely fantastic. I am so impressed and feel like I don't even have to watch the olympics now beecause I can get up to the minute spandex updates. I mean, that is like 99% of why anyone watches the olympics anyway. miss you!

Aliya Mustafina (RUS): Queen of Russian Glitter

Omg.  Readers.  I thought that I was going to have to create my own Aliya Mustafina makeup tutorial for you, but upon Googling "Aliya Mustafina makeup" I was presented with an onslaught of tutorials, pictures, and general awesomeness. Let me tell you about Ms. Mustafina.  I've loved her from day one because NBC labeled her a diva.  A Russian, gymnastics DIVA.  Girl also wears 75 pounds (31.0194 kg, if you're in Russia) of glitter in her hair and on her eyes.  She is my Olympic beauty idol.  Honestly, I'm thinking of forgoing my Princess Sophia Grace Halloween/Purim costume in favor of going as Aliya Mustafina.  I'm obsessed. I've included a makeup tutorial below, however it fails to include two important tips. 1.  You must wear your best bitch face with this look.  I'm not saying that Aliya Mustafina is a bitch- I'm telling you that girl knows what she wants and will go Hunger Games on your ass to get it. 2.  After applying your

Olympics Day 0 Brings 1000 Things to Discuss

Image
I have to admit that I'm confused by Day 0 of the Olympics. When people ask me why competition starts prior to the Opening Ceremonies I respond confidently that there is just too much to fit in. People tend to believe me because I have positioned myself as an expert on most things Olympic, but I'm pretty sure I made that up. Regardless, we got an extra day of spandex and I am here to break it all down for you. Figure Skating Team Event: Men's and Pairs Unapologetic chest exposure, and fancy couples costumes Figure skating is truly the golden sport when it comes to wintertime Olympic spandex. With the introduction of the team event, there are even MORE outfits to be worn, and this fills our cold, judgmental heart with pure joy. We've much to discuss, so let's not waste any more time. A trend among the men's skaters last night was a blatant open chest. Is it a sweat issue? I imagine that this would come into play to some extent, and I guess the women

Women's Volleyball: A sport I actually know about

Image
Here's a fun fact- I played volleyball for 7 years while in school.  Admittedly, it was middle and high school.  And we weren't very good.  And I spent most of my time on the bench.  But when I sat on that bench, I did it in spandex. Anyway, because I actually know how this sport works, I generally enjoy watching it.  I am currently taking in the USA vs South Korea game and have a few things to note. 1.  I NEED to get my hands on the South Korean shorts.  I am a general supporter of all spandex apparel, but I am especially fond of the spandex short (this likely stems from the time I spent playing volleyball).  The detail on the butt is GLORIOUS! 2.  Most unfortunate name of the match (and probably the whole Olympics, but it's too early to call): Destinee Hooker .  I hope that her athletic prowess overshadowed her name growing up.  If not, LOOK WHERE SHE IS NOW, BITCHES!!! Whilst writing this post, Team USA defeated South Korea.  CONGRATS!  Below, my thoughts o
