Polish Olympic Dresses

Last week, we saw the beautiful dresses and other uniforms of the Polish team during the opening ceremony.  Several women, myself included, have been gushing over how beautiful the dresses were.

I asked the Polish Embassy on Twitter.  By the way, do you follow them?  You should. 

Here's what they found out.  Apparently, quite a few others have been inquiring about the dresses.

The article on RFM24 is in Polish.  You can use Google Translate to get the gist of the information.  The dress is designed by Poland's Ranita Sobańska.

I decided to check on the 4F website, since that is the company who made the uniforms.  They have the dress!

Polish Olympic Poppy Dress - 2012

The price is 249PLN, which converts to roughly $75USD.  However, it looks like according to their website, they don't offer shipping to the USA at this time.  I will find out and let you know.

After all, I also want one for myself.

Na razie...

Joanna Krupa

Poland's Joanna Krupa will be on The Real Housewives of Miami this season. 

Here's a great interview on Huffington Post with the Polish American beauty.

 

 

Romney

If you follow my facebook page, you will know Romney is set to visit Poland on his trip to Europe.  I'm not sure what will come of his visit, but here is some information of what happened this week during Romney's visit to England.  Based on that and his possible comment of having "strong Anglo-Saxon roots" (remember, Poland is not, nor ever has been Anglo-Saxon), I'm going to be watching the news stories from Romney's visit to Poland in anticipated discomfort.  I don't know what or who could go wrong, but I don't know that it could go smoothly either.

 

New Theme Park in Poland

Check out the new theme park set to open outside of Warsaw in 2014.  The waterpark is supposed to become Poland' largest theme park and will be called Adventure World Warsaw.
