Just finished lunch on the couch, while watching the SexOlympics. All those sweaty bodies shimmering in the hot Greek sun. Yes, Nelly, it is getting hot in here.
At any rate, I was watching women's water polo, which so far seems to be the only water sport I've seen that has totally missed the boat in terms of glamour. Those girls are truly working it. This has got to be one of the most athletic competitions out there. Are they nuts? They're treading water, fighting each other, and trying to throw a ball into a net. Made me tired just looking at them.
Plus their head gear gives them this oh-so attractive nun habit look. I have no other way of describing it. They look like broad-shouldered, fierce, kick your ass nuns. And because they're so focused on the game, the expressions on their faces seem positively beatific.
NBC tried to make up for the sex appeal though, in these little jazzy breaks between plays where they'd show individual team members. First a close up still photo, then a live-action shot while the girl would gamely, yet hesitantly shuffle along to upbeat music. I could just hear the director, off camera saying, "Loosen up, have fun, throw your hair! You're at the SexOlympics!"'
