Paris 2024 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 26 July)

[Sheena]

This is TERRIBLE. Who thought a boat parade in the rain would be a good idea?

It also feels so CHEAP!

 

[VoR]

You know Moldova are going to be clinging to some DRIFTWOOD.

 

[Sheena]

I mean, I’m watching people HULA HOOP

 

[supermassive]

There’s a handful of Morocco guys that can drown me in the Siene

 

[Lucille]

This black boat is quite sinister.

 

[Dark Carnival]

She’s HELD HOSTAGE you mean!

Girl, you want us to talk about the British Museum?

 

[Lucille]

26 Moldavian artists with no return flight.

 

[Marina Salty]

FREE HER!

Laissez her laissez passer

 

[Lucille]

Girl, you want us to talk about the British Museum?

It kind of slaps!

 

[Suedehead]

At least we know how to have some fun
Yaaaass queens

 

[supermassive]

There’s just something about a beret that screams air hostess.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Gorgeous Mongolian outfit.

 

[Lucille]

Actually nothing better than waking up on a Sunday vaguely hungover with no purpose, and making your way to Bloomsbury to find the greatest (stolen) artefacts in the world all in one place!

 

[Suedehead]

I continue to be SHOCKED by how terrible this is

 

[Lucille]

I continue to be SHOCKED by how terrible this is

Did you mean to post this in the Katy Perry thread?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I continue to be SHOCKED by how terrible this is

It might be Stockholm Sydrome, but I'm kinda blindly enjoying it now.

 

[Madison]

This is so awful. I can’t work out if I want more boats or more art crap.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

This is TERRIBLE. Who thought a boat parade in the rain would be a good idea?

It also feels so CHEAP!

I’m trying to work out whether it would have been better in the sunshine - potentially a BIT but it’s 9pm there now so sun is going down anyway.

 

[Suedehead]

Girl, you want us to talk about the British Museum?

honey everyone steals

Anyway what do the French gays make of this… POUBELLE DE MERDE !???

 

[Ellie]

Has Eric Cantona become a rapper now too?

 

[Lucille]

Actually nothing better than waking up on a Sunday vaguely hungover with no purpose, and making your way to Bloomsbury to find the greatest (stolen) artefacts in the world all in one place!

Me: Barely hanging on by a thread after 2 bottles of wine and half a gram of coke

Priceless 3000 year old artefact: Please return me to my homeland

 

[Suedehead]

It might be Stockholm Sydrome, but I'm kinda blindly enjoying it now.

I see what you mean though
I keep saying I will turn it off but I’m not
Mr Suede is liking this rap anyway
So yeah

 

[Suedehead]

HE RAPS IN FRENCH

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I've seen Tiktok lives look better

 

[AGinAg (38)]

French rap is one of the worst genres of music available.

 

[Lucille]

France’s contribution to popular music is really woeful beyond Daft Punk.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Nicky Doll?!?

 

[Suedehead]

I've seen Tiktok lives look better

POTW

 

[supermassive]

Whose uncle is this in a Zara jacket?

 

[Suedehead]

Omg that pose at tue end though

 

[Lucille]

Why is even the fashion segment bad

It’s the ONE THING you’re good at!!!!

 

[Suedehead]

It gets better now that I’m on my second bottle

 

[Ellie]

Celebrating young French designers churning out this shite. when they could have gone for a Jean Paul Gaultier comeback?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I'm guessing we're not getting a blast of Désenchantée.

 

[Suedehead]

Why is even the fashion segment bad

It’s the ONE THING you’re good at!!!!

And isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I feel like the DRAG portion particularly highlights that problems with the camerawork. Girlies with stunning outfits and makeup and we’re never closer than 20 ft away.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Are they doing a french version of sway?

 

[straightorbroken]

Should've just made this a Drag Race segment.

 

[Suedehead]

Where are

Mylene farmer
Christine and the queens
Zazie
Nadia
Kalogero


I mean there ARE some good French singers …

 

[Lucille]

Love a doubly landlocked nation!
