Olympic Fashion Update: Funky Pants Make Stars of Norway’s Curling Team
It’s hard to become a star if you’re an Olympic curler, and doubly-hard if you’re an Olympic curler from Norway. Unless of course you are willing to make the kind of wacky fashion statement that gets attention from people who don’t actually care about the games – then you might have a shot. The risk, obviously, is that your oddball fashion choice will over-shadow your performance on the ice. Sure, it’s great to be known for wearing ugly-ass pants, but in the end, you want your greatness at sweeping a broom furiously and for no apparent reason in front of a giant sliding stone to be your legacy. And there’s one other crucial thing to keep in mind: whatever you do, don’t incorporate animal fur into your flashy outfit. Johnny Weir found out the hard way – those animal rights activists are seriously messed-up and will not give you a free pass just because you’re gay.
