I'M IN LOVE-Olympics Edition

Mmm a Male Gymnast with Salt & Pepper hair?
YES, PLEASE!

Jordan Jovtchev representing Bulgaria (but based out of my hometown of Houston, Texas) was the highlight of the Men's Rings final. He was seriously like sex on a stick (or more acurately on rings) out there in Beijing. Why the hell does he not have a Clarins endorsement or sometihng? That Dolce & Gabanna guy can't do everything! Though now that I take a closer look he reminds me of a seriously ripped Richard Burgi. I definitely wouldn't mind Jovtchev showing up on Wisteria Lane (or my street) in the future.
I must give a shout-out to TiVo & Financial Times for making me aware of the ridiculusly hot Jovtchev.

Don't Mess with Texas Women!

Huge Kudos to Plano's Nastia Liukin for winning the Gold in the Women's Individual All-Around.

Sorry for the lack of updates but I'm such an Olympics fangirl that I stay glued to all the NBC channels 24/7. Surprising I know! I just love how educational watching the games can be. Like learning that their is a game called handball and, subsequently, that Eastern Europeans are very good at it. But my favorite event bar none is gymnastics. The names Alexi Nemov & Svetlana Khorkina still bring tears in my eyes. Every time I saw Liukin on the uneven bars all I could think was that I totally miss that diva Svetlana Khorkina. They don't make fierce like that anymore. I mean that literally. Since the fall of the USSR the Russians have gotten soft. But the girls from Stick It said it best- "It's not called gymNICEtics."

On a final note I've got to admit that I'm completely gaga over Alexander "Sasha" Artemev's Pommel Horse routine. Seriously OMG!
