We are absolute fans of Ralph Lauren and his preppy horsey look, but he dropped the ball when it came to the Olympic uniforms at Sochi. Patchwork is NEVER right. It was wrong in the 70’s and it’s still wrong. Paper magazine compares and critiques all the uniforms HERE – fashionistas take a look!
Much fun has been made of the notion that Russian President Vladimiir Putin photos adorn almost all of the hotel rooms in Sochi in spite of the myriad of problems. Lack of heat, internet, water, door knobs, or even walls, tormented “crybaby American” visitors, but a serious portrait of Putin looking elegant in a suit and tie, is there to greet everyone. Rumors that the Putin photos were gigantic and topless or featured him taming wild animals were purely speculative. But it IS an amusing and personal touch. Wish we were there.
