Short N' Sweet Music Mashup

You know what they say - this blog's all fun and games until someone loses/uses an eye - my two in this instance. In less than half a minute, you'll find that I do have a sensitive, artistic bone in my body! 

Song: Know No Better - Major Lazer (feat. Travis Scott, Camila Cabello & Quavo)

Tokyo 2020+1

I only get excited about the Olympics every 4 years and after 4 beers! I mean 5. On both counts.

Ash was ready to rock:

Where can I get one of these bathrobes? Asking for a friend @WTA #tokyo2020 #fashionriskhttps://t.co/Sc6VgjRMEL

Edit: She bath-bombed out of the singles! Not to worry - Serbia dropped out of the mixed doubles so she just rocked up and got Bronze as a result. Noice!

Melbourne was in lockdown for most of the games and still is. Stay at home and watch the Olympics? You didn’t have to ask me twice! It also helped that good-looking people filled my screen for two weeks - much like grand slams.

Especially for Naomi, the ceremonies were lit!

 

As in DVD-fireplace lit.

From bucket hats to human flora, they were intensely bizarre. They really don’t muck around at the Olympics, they pulled out all of the stops:

"and my back muscles"

The fashion was on steroids (hopefully that was the only thing), though some looked like they were bought from an airport souvenir store. Or as if they’ve just returned home from work. Covid’s been hard on all of us but particularly for the athletes. They’ve had to make ends meet with the following day jobs:

Salsa dancers + hotel staff:



Nuclear technicians (hence the radioactive clothing):



McDowell’s a la Coming to America:



Pie-chart statisticians:



Go-Go dancers:



Theme park operators:



Flight crews:



Department store cosmeticians:



Or pirates if they were from the Seychelles, earning 4% of the country’s GDP!

The officials weren’t much better, looking like ice cream franchisees:

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for… Iceland!?”

 

 

 

Or walking signs:

My hopes for a drug-free olympics were dashed before the events even began:



Throughout the games, they were everywhere I looked:

“These smell pretty good”

I don’t think they’re meant to be consumed like that…

Speaking of, I think it’s funny that Russia’s named the Russian Olympic Committee. I just think of the athletes sitting in a Zoom committee meeting:

“We forgot to write the minutes last night…”

Going back down Olympic memory lane, remember that walker who got disqualified at Sydney 2000? She looks like every mum who’s ever taken her kids to the Aussie Open:

“A ground pass is such good value!” cries*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One kiddo who’s been is Belinda Bencic, now a gold medallist. Wow, you’ve matured a lot!

Also is Taylor Swift circa 2006, who won women’s doubles with the talk-singer Krejčíková!

GRATULUJU, holky! 😍
Jste skvělý! 🥇🇨🇿❤️@BKrejcikova / @K_Siniakova pic.twitter.com/c9yuXvQZDg

One commentator said that the destination of the gold medal for mixed doubles is “unknown”...

Hmm, something tells me it's going to Russia...

Congrats Andrey and Nastia on winning… these dusty things?

With her love of karaoke and his musical past, they should totally collaborate. I hope they sung Happy birthday to Elena Vesnina on August 1 and to all of the horses out there! Or at least Gold by Spandau Ballet.

Tennis usually sounds like porn, but now it looks like it!

 

Paris is next! Ooft, that is going to be good. I wonder where they’ll be playing tennis? ;)
