That was exquisite for a Parkettes leo.

So why...I ask...why was this year the festival of ugly leos? The GK catalogue just came out and they don't look that bad. What happened?

Sacramone looked horrific. The bronze color was great, but the white with the uni-boob sportsbra was second only to the "rhythmic leo on a fireplug" look that Johnson had going. Someone just needs to dress her. Flesh color...really???

Ah well...hopefully GK will get some less than wonderful feedback and re-evaluate before the Olympics.

bogwoppit will become famous soon enough bogwoppit will become famous soon enough
Rumour has it that Shawn, Nastia and Chellsie designed their own suits, that says a lot. I doubt that GK will be selling copies of Shawns any time soon.

When I posted the pics I didn't say they were all ugly, some of them are okay. FUnny how we all like different thing.

I burst out laughing at this! I liked the design of Nastia's but it was the wrong colour and I hate hate hate shiny lycra!

They'd all been overdosing on the fake bake too- they'd been TANGOED! lmao

I actually think the shiny lycra looks great on a lot of them.

I actually didn't mind Ivana's day two "nacho leo".

but i really didn't like shawn's and like everyone said, i agree that nastia's didn't suit her....it was very...PINK! :P

and i totally agree there were some pretty ugly leo's this year!
