…In which your life's work is not nearly as important as your hot body.

Julie: We should send your gymmie blog posting out as a poll tide-over. I canNOT get over the glitter. They are going to be so embarrassed because they have to live with the glitter for the rest of their lives. And as bad as it is for the gymnasts, it is so much worse on the women’s softball team. Does Aaron Piersol still live in Austin? My new physical criteria for a man is that he must look good in an olive wreath.

Alana: I truly kept myself amused for like 3 hours with the gymmie practicing and execution. I am totally fine with it being a poll tide-over if you wanna do it. Unfortunately Aaron Piersol lives in Newport Beach, California.

Julie: He lives in The OC (bitch)! I know they kept on talking about his California laid-back cool, but I also heard he went to UT. I guess I should go to the swim center and scope out the new crop anyway. I will also get a better job so that I can also become benefactress/sugar mama for next Olympians.

Alana: *sigh*. I love so many of those Olympians.

Blaine: You will be surprised to know that I am also in love with roughly 22 Olympians, including the Romanian Freddie Mercury even, because of his eyes and his prowess on the pommel horse. I think the Popov of this year though is that high bar Italian last night. I don't know so much about Aaron Piersol but I will agree with you that guys are hot with those leaf helmets.

Alana: Okay, let's all name our top 5 Olympians we're in love with.

Blaine: very difficult. give me a moment

Julie: I didn’t see the Italian. I only saw Nemov, who is one of my five.
Also, Popov (sorry). Piersol (whom I didn’t think was all that cute until I saw him in his “leaf helmet”) I only have 3 for now.

Julie: Oh, and my opinion is that not many of the guys can actually pull off the olive leaf look.

Blaine: Yeah, I've only got Popov, and that Italian guy who is named Igor
Cassina as shoe-ins. That Igor is a 5'11"gymnast!! i love him. There are many other cute faced gymnasts with too short bodies and many other superduper bodied swimmers with so-so faces, all of whom I count in the roughly 22 but none of whom can I right now say make the top 5. I unfortunately have missed the diving competitions, and the other non-marquee sports probably have many to love only i haven't seen them enough.

Blaine: i misspoke - my opinion is that hot guys look hotter in leaves. ryan phillipe would look really good in a leaf.

Alana: I like all the Romanian Gymmie girls and also the girl Gymmie from Brazil, but they are too young to actually make my list, so:

Blaine: the only other person i was thinking about calling a shoe-in but did not was this marian dragulescu.
yay!!
The only reason he is not a shoe-in is because of the 5'4", 136 lbs.

Alana: How come neither of you are in love with the Thorpedo?

Julie: Oh yeah, I like him too! And yes, Ian Thorpe (love the name Ian, hate the name Thorpedo, love the new blond locks too).

Blaine: because he looks like this
http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletebios/5009175/detail.html

Alana: I wisht I never saw that picture. I think that people say he's dreamy, though.

Julie: I think he’s cute when dry, which isn’t always the best thing to say about a swimmer.

Blaine: just like people say nick lachey is dreamy. it is because they are fit and famous. they can not hide their faces from me though

Julie: No, neither Nich lachey nor http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletebios/5009135/detail.html is dreamy. But Ian really is cute. Nice teeth--you know how I love the teeth.

Blaine: I'm so mad at you right now.

Alana: spill

Blaine: Julie made me look at Gary Hall, Jr. I do not like looking at Gary Hall, Jr. Julie, I pronounce this guy as your new boyfriend. Alana is witness.

Blaine: ok maybe i was too quick to declare him your boyfriend. If you would prefer someone with more hair then i change my mind to this one

Julie: Shut up. Baldy's not bad, 'cept he's probably half my body width, at 6'2" and 150 lbs. Anyway, it wasn't to trick you. I promise. You’re the one who sent the ugly ian thorpe pic.

Blaine: Baldy's not bad? I think he looks just like a martian. I can't decide if he looks more like Ray Walston when he was My Favorite Martian or more like that little green martian that always floated around Fred Flintstone's head. Either way - Martian.
