Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B.Yeats.

Bark From The Park, Another Olympic Laugh!
The London 2012 Olympic Games Takes on Star Trek.
Futuristic ceremonial costumes are to be worn by
Olympic escorts and medal bearers. The male medal bearers get to wear purple
suits which are more beam me up Stratford than Saville Row. The Olympic escorts
in turn look like they work for a cheap budget airline with hat masquerading as
a midget spaceship. These hideous Star-Trek creations make me feel I need to
increase boost to warp factor 10 and jet on out of here. Who ever thought these
up have definitely, boldly gone to where no fashion designer has gone before. While
Captain Kirk and crew could rely on Scotty to beam them up in sticky
situations, there will no escape from the chaps and gals in their garish garb
this summer. Nevermind at the end of the Olympics they can hop over to a
Star-Trek convention without needing to change clothes. Enterprising, it’s
certainly not , set lasers to stun we are going to need them!
GARIS INDEED, MOLLY! You, my dear furry friend are top dog in the journalist world of Bark from the Park reporting! WOW! You sniff out the best stories for I had NO idea about the fashion choices for this event. teeheee...I love how you described the HATS as midget spaceships....you are AWESOME!!! Anita
Hi Furries , It's just so bad with Tinky Winky ushers , Jimmy Saville torch bearers and Smurf team GB , I'd cry if only I can stop laughing. Best wishes Molly
I have another nomination for Sunday. I am not sure if Declan's Blog has been featured yet, but I found this post very interesting especially for those of us in the states. http://www.declansdogsblog.co.uk/2012/05/yorkshire-dales.html
Hi Molly, What can I say, Beam me up Scottie, can your sources at Molly Media confirm that these outfits weren't the ones at auction at last years Star Trek Convention...it could have been worse they could have been out of Doctor Who....may the Force be with you........it was lost on the designers, I;m still howling with laughter.

Do you think they might like one of my purple sparkly seats to go with their outfits?! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteDeccy I think someone already used it when they were thinking up the design!
DeleteBest wishes Molly
And they look hot (as in sweaty and warm, not fashionable). Poor things! Who comes up with these designs?!
ReplyDeleteHi Pibble , that's easy someone with no talent , no taste and no common sense. They do indeed look hot and uncomfortable.

Hi Pippinpumpkin , Dr Who might have been a better choice , we could have had the Cyber Men!

ReplyDeleteElyse and Riley
