More Olympian ovations! This week we crushed on Shelly-Ann Fraser's gleaming braces and Shawn Johnson's balance beam dominance.
You sent in your retro sports photos, which won the adorable Olympics.
We audibly squeeeeeee-d when we discovered that Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were back together. Squeee!
We did not squee over P.U.M.A.s, Will Bower, or any other mouth-breathing, politically destructive a-holes.
International Male from the early mid-80s. Fringe and short shorts and spandex oh my!

We pondered fast fashion.
We no longer want to ponder the status of Jennifer Aniston's vagina, ring finger.
It's the weekend, y'all! So eat some questionable sushi, read some delightful YA novels about brother fucking and relax!

Jamaican Sprinter Shelly Ann Fraser Wins Gold, Jumps For Joy

Despite being, as one commentator called her, the youngest, the shortest and the most inexperienced in her field, twenty-one-year-old Shelly Ann Fraser of Jamaica won the gold medal in the 100 meter race on Sunday. She proceeded to bounce up and down on the track with sheer glee! In a post-race interview, Fraser, whose brace face smile is, frankly, adorable, said, "Well, honestly, most people weren't expecting me to come out here and do something… So with that in mind, it was not do or die. I didn't go out there to prove to anybody, just to myself." Not only is she incredibly fast, but incredibly charming! Seriously. Gotta love her. Clip above.
