Oh lawdy, for months I’ve been set in my decision to boycott the Olympics, no fears, no tears: I’m queerer than a $7 bill, and I’m anti-pre/post-totalitarianist Oligarchy anyway.
But you snagged me, you great tempter. The idea of so many, many, many billions of Rubles spent on “Russian Decoration and Artistry in the Olympic Style” has me weeping in fear and hysteric laughter with anticipation. Oh, the spangles! Will there be enough? In the world? Even if some oligarch’s admin had his/her shit together early enough to buy up the world’s supply of spangles and rhinestones? Some intrepid reporter should get on this. I wonder if Michael’s Craft Shoppe has been running out-of-stock of pink and purple sequins?
