While the Olympics were going on over the summer, I got a bit obssessed with this lot. The paired swimmers in particular were fascinating and I found out all about their costumes, hairpieces, how they do their hair (gelatine) and their make up (waterproof). But I couldn't find any really great pictures to sum up how odd but beautiful they were, like some sort of underwater circus ballet dancers. As usual, you find something once you stop looking for it, and rummaging in the depths of the internet to try and calm down my agitated mind I came across this.... Have fun.
