Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympics: #5 Beach Volleyball



Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for the Olympics: #5 Beach Volleyball

This is one sport that is by far one of the most entertaining in all of the Olympic games, yet aside from once every four years, it hardly gains major recognition. 2012 will be another year when Beach Volleyball will entertain the billions of Earth. Beach Volleyball is fast and intense, and makes for great television. Moreover, did anyone ever mention that there is an American sphere of Domination?
The American Women’s teams have dominated this sport since 1996, and no one has even come close.

Sadly, the Brazilian men’s teams have also medaled every year since 1996…..fucking rainforest people :P

Questions for You:
Is this the sport that has the least amount of clothing? I’d bet on it, and I guess that’s a major reason why we don’t see beach volleyball Gold medals from Saudi Arabia or the Sudan….(pause for laughter). 

I remember during the 2008 games, I developed a major crush on China’s Xue Chen. The six foot three dominatrix of Beach Volleyball went on to take the Bronze medal at Beijing and is returning for the 2012 London Games. 

China's Xue Chen and her Money Maker
Xue Chen was ranked as the third sexiest Asian athlete by CNN International. I guess I’m not the only one that is in need of a giant woman in a bathing suit that likes kicking ass.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
