Today is the first day of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. I am not particularly thrilled about these games, but there is nothing I can do now but try and have some fun. New York fashion week also started yesterday, and I will be doing my Love and Loathe for some of the catwalk shows, the ones I think are important. Despite being busy with Olympics, and visitors from Sweden, and all of the fashion shows, I still fully intend on posting some regular blog content.
If you’d like to read a bit about the Olympics fashion, you can check out my VERY generic coverage of Olympic style on Examiner. I also did an article about some very cool athlete and consumer gear for the latest issue of View2. If you’d like to know my thoughts on the rather disgusting sponsorship deals, read this interesting article on Business of Fashion, and check out my long-winded comment on the bottom. I also contributed to this Urban Junkies Vancouver Guide, sponsored by Oakley.
In the meantime, here are some fun Olympics images.
These images of Team USA wearing special edition Rodarte knitwear, shot by Ryan McGinley for The New York Times Magazine are pretty cool.

Some creative anti-Olympics images…

And here is a genius logo from the anti-Olympics camp. Is it a middle finger? Or is it a phallic symbol? (Thanks to Jocelyn and Andrew for that!)
