Yes, finally the 2008 Olympics is opening tomorrow evening. The opening ceremonies are always, always grand. The most memorable for me was in 1992 when Barcelona hosted the games. Atlanta, Sydney, and Athens did not leave so much of an impression on me.
I wonder what Beijing has up its sleeves. Honestly, I have very high expectations. God, this has been one controversial hosting by China, but this post is not about that.
As I said, I want to post sample pictures of how the Olympics is inspiring fashion spreads. The first is a collection from Vogue Korea for August 2008. And the next is from Harper's Bazaar for August 2008 with Lucy Liu on the cover. Now who says fashion and sports do not mix?

Bat naging mukhang Pokwang si Lucy sa cover?
One of my best friends is the chief editor of the Asia Vogues, he'll be in Bangkok next week, and we'll see him again over New Year's in January (one of my fave times to be in Bkk). Maybe you'll run into him in Silom, he's a rather large, shaved head American, very fun. One of his favorite hangouts is Tawan Bar. Cheers! --Will
