I vote Gag me with a silver Spoon! Overdone Lauren.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Did they at least make the clothing in America this time?
Or was it another boon to the economy of China?
Either way I'd say overdone, although I do like the casual shirt underneath.
That pic of JFK and family makes me sad.

All that money used for something such as the Olympics.. Imagine how many people could have been helped in some way instead. Then we all could play in the sunshine.

Citizens of Boston told the IOC to fuck off.
Good for them.
In any case, it's well past the time that they find a permanent venue for the Olympics.
Anyone see the irony?
