Olympic fashion is really important. The, official Olympic sponsor, HBC has sold a zillion dollars worth of red mittens.
There are line-ups a block long to get into the store to buy official Canada sports wear.
And, it isn't just Canadians buying the stuff. A good portion of the people I saw in line were sporting other nation's colours.
Good souvenirs to take back to the kids in Sweden, I guess.
It seems that everyone is wearing something red, even if it means mittens and toques when it is a balmy thirteen degrees outside.
There are those, however, that choose to be a little more creative with their patriotic fashion choices.
Others are entrepreneurial.
Attractive head wear is a must,
no matter which country you support.
It's also important to make sure your pet reflects your nationalistic fervor.
Some like the, "I just got off shift at Home Depot" look. This is not my personal preference but there are worse offenders...
... like the "Elvis gives blood" boys,
and the ah... ah ... quick call the Fashion Police!
Officer Dudley Dress Right to the rescue. He's fabulous but the job is so big he needs super power help, so he calls on his friends,
the Fashion Savior (his breath is really garlicky),
Cowboy Canuck (uses his umbrellas for good and not evil),
and Captain Coolada ( just generally better than everyone).
Yes, the Olympic crowd is an awfully attractive bunch, but I choose these two to bring home.
