It's time for the CD Olympics. There are so many things we do that become speed events so we can fit our dressing into the time allowed, or become tests of our skills as we attempt to negotiate the outside world once we have dressed. This is tongue in cheek, but there is so much we share. The Olympic motto is Higher, Faster, Stronger. So what do we do that fits?
Gear Retrieval; This is an obstacle course event. How far up in the closet or back in the garage can you put your things so they won't be found? Contestants start as the door closes and the first one to retrieve their gear from a high spot in the garage and return it to the bedroom is the winner.
Heels Race; This is a timed event with points for style and deductions for slips. Contestants are required to walk through a mall wearing 5” high heels. Stops must be made at three stores. A polished cobblestone courtyard adds to the difficulty. Style points available for any purchases made.
Purge Dump; This is a strength and agility event. One and a half cubic meters of girl stuff must be gathered, packed in large plastic bags and tossed in a dumpster. Style points for tear-smeared mascara.
Purge Retrieval; This is a strength and agility event. One and a half cubic meters of girl stuff must be dug out of the dumpster and returned to the closet. Deductions if you break a nail.
Speed makeup; A timed event. At the sound of the closing door, the contestant must select from a wide range of makeup options and do their makeup. Time stops when the wig is on and secure. Style points for good blending and deductions for smudges, poorly balanced brows and mismatched color choices.
Bailout; A timed event. At the sound of the car door in the driveway the contestant must go from full girl mode to male mode as quickly as possible. All makeup must be removed and all clothing, shapers and accessories have to be out of sight and the contestant dressed in sweats or in the shower for the clock to stop.
I know there are others, what would you add to the list? Are there team events?
