Ice Castles

I know, I know, I’m on an Olympic roll and it sucks for hits, but I live in Vangroover and cannot help it. Here’s something daintier than hockey spinsters and ski bums: a tantalizing taste of the fabulousness that is Ice Couture!

Also, tonight we won in Ice Dancing, so Yay! Let’s have a rousing chorus of O Canada…metal-style.

And a little something for the Americans:

Johnny Weir teh bryde woar Paco Rabanne

and a video straight from the studio of Tania Bass, Manhattan’s hottest ice couturier:

Jasper Conran goes green

Jasper Conran Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010

Or at least a sort of mouldy brown. But it’s so nice of him to come up with a crafts project the whole family can do with nothing more than old paper sacks and a stick figure.

Alexander McQueen's muse Daphne Guinness on the runway for Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show

I want Daphne Guinness’ Alexander McQueen outfit, and the invisible sword that presumably goes with it. And a moderately-sized vat of gin, STAT; this is a medical emergency. We lost to the US in an Olympic hockey game for the first time since 1960, and all of Canada is in bed, drunk and sobbing and holding on to it’s little Troll doll for dear life; all of Canada except me. Someone has to blog this pain away. I am in no mood to be trifled with, except perhaps by Hugh Jackman, and he should wear body armour just to be safe.

Saturday Caption Contest: Ski Bum Edition

Okay, so it’s not a fashion pic per se. Still, who’s complaining about the view?

Cross Country Skiing

Do your best/worst in the comments to explain what excuse Sweden’s Marcus Hellner has for being the last man standing at the finish line of the Men’s 30km Cross-Country Event.

By the way, from a purely self-interested, non-medal standpoint, the Dutch are completely walking away with this Olympics. Heineken House is THE party house (an amazing achievement, given that it’s in sleepy Richmond suburbia), they have the hottest athletes (even if they are dressed like cartoon characters), and they also take the gold medal for attitude.

Saturday Caption Contest Results: Joan Collins Edition

Several of you braved the terrifying spectacle of this Eighties icon risen anew, and captioned, and captioned well. But, just as in a catfight, there can be only one winner.

Joan Collins is terrifying

Blake said those curtains were useless. Well, nobody makes a fool of Alexis.

Darn tootin’! And now, to the presentation of the fabulous imaginary swag. Our 80′s themed hypothetical trophy for this week: a genuine Bob Mackie silk velvet burnout tunic, just the thing to wear for scratching the eyeballs out of your romantic rivals.

Bonus catfight, for old time’s sake:
