Is anyone watching this ghastly OLYMPICS Opening Ceremony display on NBC?

131. They aren't "those" headdresses, though. The "stylized" aspect is lost when paired with a skirt

that's slit up to where ever, and finished off with Go Go boots.

They didn't look a thing like what Catherine the Great wore. They DID look like something Sally Rand or the naked showgirls in Vegas might wear. Some of them were shaped like Stewie Griffin's head.



They're apparently in reference to a "Snow Maiden" of myth---that accounts for the odd shape(s).

I rather doubt they are meant to be worn with cheesy seventies-style "stewardess" outfits, though.

Russian traditional clothing (which has some nexus with Persian tribal clothing) is quite remarkable--why not riff on that, instead of Hooters Airlines? They could have done a modern take on that, instead of Fembot chic...

Not sure what "America the Beautiful" has to do with this...but then, there are people who don't know what the tune to the Russian (former USSR) anthem is, these days, either...granted, they have an excuse--it's been changed three times in the last quarter century.

Pootie approved it all, though--so it IS his taste.
