Barrette-Mania at the Beijing Olympics
Tuesday August 19, 2008
Let's take a quick 10-second break from twirls and jumps and spins from last night's gymnastics competition and talk about the barrette art. If you tuned into the bars competition last night you may have noticed the various colored barrettes sported by virtually every gymnast. There were white barrettes, red barrettes, heart-shaped barrettes, barrettes in a line across the top of the head like soldiers preparing for battle. Surely they are to keep the hair out of the face, but the barrettes were pretty funny.
Ok, that was fun, now back to NBC....

I noticed the barrettes also. I thought they were pretty funny too, and I could not stop staring at the barette art. Good blog!
