Emily’s Musings

I have thoroughly loved watching the Olympics over the last two weeks.  Every night, I tell Dallin to chill out, so I can watch the most disgustingly talented people on the planet compete.  I LOVE watching Gymnastics and synchronized swimming.  And hey, who doesn’t get a thrill watching Michael Phelps win gold metal after gold metal?

I just have one tiny little question for that “infamous council of they” (you know, “they” that know the answer to everything).  If these athletes have access to the best coaches and training in the world, then why on Earth DON’T THEY HAVE PROFESSIONAL MAKE-UP ARTISTS DOING THEIR FACES?  You can’t expect athletes to be perfect at everything, and a make-up artist on site could make the events so much easier on the eyes. Honestly, Shawn Johnson is a darling girl, but at 16 years old, you can’t expect her to know how to do professional make-up for TV.  You would think that someone on the Olympics council would hire an artist for every country, for every event.  Aren’t they interested in making TV look good?

Did anyone see Shawn Johnson interviewed on NBC?  Someone, who knew to do her make-up and hair, made Shawn look awesome.  David was shocked to see her so “wow” looking.  Make-up done properly, and a little style in your hair can go a long way.

All I’m saying is that if I was at the Olympics, I WOULD PERSONALLY HIRE, AND FLY OUT MY VERY OWN STYLIST (Like Ken Paves or someone else in high demand).  I would certainly want to look my best when the whole world watched me.

So I am in love with synchronized swimming.  It is AMAZING.  The Russians are incredible, and if you didn’t see their gold metal performances, you missed out!  You to see their performance on the link below.   Just scroll down to “Duet Final: Russia’s Gold Medal Routine”.

I just have to say one thing . . . Why would you want to cake on make-up to jump in a pool? No, really! I honestly don’t get why they cake on TONS OF MAKE-UP. My face just itches thinking about it.

I hope they all have facials scheduled.
