A quick refresher: The Fierce Five are the 2012 USA Women's Olympic Team in Artistic Gymnastics. I was a competitive gymnast growing up, and I had been wanting to do these costumes for a few years. I knew if I could wait until an Olympic year it would be the perfect opportunity! I had faith we'd bring home the gold for only the second time in history! We're going to be eating a lot of Corn Flakes come tomorrow.
It's probably worth noting Rory and Lane's Halloween costumes are getting skimpier and skimper each year (Hooters girls to gymnasts). I'm a little terrified to see what next year will bring.
Happy Halloween!

My Olympic Gold Medalists
Whew! Those gold medals are so heavy we had to give our necks a break.
Because if you aren't wearing a scrunchie 20 years after they were popular and a million clips, then it just isn't a gymnast's hairstyle
It was pretty much impossible to get a shot that showed all the details of the costume, so I took one laid flat. I drew out what I wanted Rory and Lane's leotards to look like based on the actual leotards the Fierce Five wore in the team finals, and a dear friend who can sew made them for me.
