It’s been the most amazing two weeks of Olympics–our women’s gymnastics team took gold, Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian in history…and Ryan Lochte wore a grill on the medal stand.

They can’t really use their clothes to express themselves, so that’s where makeup, jewelry and, yes teeth adornment, comes in. From signature hair styles to bejeweled face painting, Olympians were not afraid to let their freak flags fly. And we loved them for it.
