2GN2S - Odds'n'ends ...
The 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing are in February, but Team
USA and Team Canada are already facing off for style points.

Ralph Lauren has reigned over US Olympic styles as the official
outfitter since 2008, but athleisure favorite Lululemon is a newcomer to
the scene. That dynamic is evident in the outfits, as the American
label has taken a classic approach while the Canadian brand has focused
on a modular set of styles with Transformer-like features -- including a
vest that turns into a pillow or scarf.

Meanwhile, Team Canada's all-red and all-cream kits are tech-driven,
with textiles that are insulated, sweat-wicking, bacteria-inhibiting,
breathable, resistant to water and wind, and light on seams. Hidden
pockets abound, and the maple leaf appears as a simple icon as well as
an abstracted print. The athletes will wear parkas, down jackets,
joggers, trapper caps, bucket hats and zip ups, with plenty of
opportunities to modify: the parka can be zipped off into three
different lengths, and the down jacket can be worn like a backpack if it
gets too hot.

Every time I visit your blog I have a treat. today is no exception. Thank you for that. :-)
Thank you, John. You are so kind.
The outfits of the American and the Canadian team are really stylish. But I think Eugene looks as good in his classical outfit as the athletes do. You emphasized how smart he looks.
Today's smiles are absolutely funny. I like them.
Hi Jacki,
Thank you for posting the video of Jane Goodall. (Hope I spelled that right.)
I plan to forward it to several of my friends. She is certainly a role model for all of us. I particularly liked her comment about it "being a different time" in the 60s when she was accused of getting a job because her legs were nice looking. I do remember those times, working in a field that was then mainly men. So glad that at least some women on this earth don't have to deal with that.
Also thank you for the laughs, the fashion, and the cool graphic.
Thank you, Elenor. Eugene fascinated me with his hair and waistoat.
Thank you, Carrol, for taking time to comment. I so appreciate your feedback. And, as I have mentioned, I love it when you like the blog. It fuels me.
