WTF, I.O.C.?

Dear IOC (International Olympic Committee),

We saw the news about your panel’s recent decision to cut Olympic Wrestling from the upcoming 2020 Olympic games! 

How can this be?  Wrestling dates back to the Ancient Games and was one of the founding, elemental competitions that brought warring nation’s together for peace through sport.   You IOCers claim that Wrestling doesn’t bring in the ratings and is no longer as relevant as the newer sports?  Please, didn’t you guys see Vision Quest?  It’s freaking awesome!

And when we say “ancient” we mean it.  Wrestling was first a part of the Olympic Games back in 708 B.C.!  It predates Basketball and Rowing, and Table Tennis and Diving.  For goodness sake, Wrestling predates P.E.D.s and doping scandals!

We understand why you’d get rid of Tug of War (1900-1920), but Olympic Wrestling is a fundamental sport; pitting two men entwined by their limbs, using their brute strength and physical prowess to outwit and out maneuver one another.  Seems like the Bravo channel or Logo would be more than happy to air this sport.

Anyway, we’re seriously disappointed by this, I.O.C.  Please reconsider.  And for Heaven’s sake, don’t replace Wrestling with something totally lame like golf.   Or golf.

Disheartened,

Sieg Heil, Heidi Klum…

To My Dearest Sister Heidi,

Now that ANTM Cycle 3.14 has wrapped, I’ve had a few moments to catch up on Project Runway.  I really, really appreciate the stunning conceptual designs and all, but as for you and your judgmental ways, Klum, they are one big, hot, messed-up mess, girlfriend!!!

Listen, Heidi, I totally get that you landed the hostess part for your looks, and not for your wisdom or ability to pronounce words that begin with R. But let’s get real, you and your fellow judges are down-right nasty to those poor designers!  You and that old lesbian Michael Kors laugh wickedly at the contestants even as you critique them so harshly.

Those clothing designers are fragile souls, and still you choose to shatter their fragility even more with your producer-approved snarkiness.  Do you even get how hard it is to sketch and sew a black-leather sweater-vest?  Or how difficult it is to make something from Macy’s look good?  I didn’t think so.  I mean, look at you.  Only thing you know how to make is a littler nose.  Oh, snap!

I would wecommend you focus on how to pronounce Project Wunway, as well as how to treat your designers with more care and grace.  Don’t you watch the parts of your show with Tim Gunn?

Anyways, I stand here before you, asking you to consider showing the kind of compassion we put on display at the CW.  I believe we, as uber-super-models, have the really unique ability to improve lives and spread knowledge to those less fortunate than ourselves.  When we share our experiences, Heidi, then we share our love.

See you at fashion week, gorgeous.    ; )

Hugs & Bulimia,
