With all the hype about how disturbing conditions are for this year’s Winter Olympics (note snarky Fox News article http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/02/06/olympic-sized-failure-journalists-revolt-over-lousy-sochi-conditions/ ) I thought I’d take things into brighter territory by highlighting 5 chic things about Sochi. Not every country can have private toilet stalls but come on, there’s at least some things to appreciate.
1. They have THIS place, on it’s list of “must see attractions.”
It kind of screams Kardashian mansion without being so obnoxious. Money on Kanye West trying to buy this place in the next 3 months.
2. They have palm trees. New York, do YOU have palm trees?
3. The gold metal presented will be one of the biggest. Ever. Oh. (http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco/2014/02/05/sochi-gold-medal-will-be-the-largest-in-olympic-history-heres-how-much-its-worth/)
4. Although Sochi doesn’t allow gay people or Chobani (wtf) in their borders, they did get a shout out from Andy Cohen via WWHL which is more than I can say for myself. They were technically the “Jackhole” of the night but whatever. (http://www.thebraiser.com/top-chef-new-orleans-fan-favorite/)
5. Sochi is going to play host not only to the Winter Games but to some World Cup matches in 2018. There’s no other description I can give for why this is chic besides:
David Beckhamesq men running around. You’re welcome.
So next time you get angry because poor Shaun White is being deprived of his peach Chobani pre competition remember all of the great, chic things about Sochi. Also, I don’t really get the whole problem with the non private toilets, I mean us girl’s can’t go to the bathroom without our friends anyway, what’s a few more added to the party?
Think about that.
