Fug and Fab the Swimmers: Speedo parties and beyond


We’ve amply covered their awesomeness when they are wearing their skin, but what of America’s Most Lusted when they’re clad in things other than lycra and abdominal cheese graters? The party circuit will tell us.

    …Delusions of Piracy shall be the name of my new cover band, which shall play only tributes to Wes Anderson film soundtracks.

    But seriously, it’s a little alarming to see them all clothed.

      My band (Me bass, Hubbie drums, Mike and Bob rythm and lead guitar) is called The Cheesegraters.

    Oh, Lochte. At least he didn’t wear the grill. Sweet Lord, did Ervin just pull a meth bender? His socks nearly killed me.

      Picture 5 is actually of Clark Burckle, not Anthony Ervin. One look at his Twitter photos and it’s obvious he has an unhealthy affinity toward ugly glasses.

        Interesting! our photo source had it captioned wrong… I will investigate and fix!

    Who are the other people in the photo with Phelps and his girlfriend? I like that blue dress on the brunette (not that it would look good on me, but on her, cute).

    I saw the title of this post and thought I was about to enjoy another round of swimmers. This time, partying in their Speedos. Oh, well.

    I do enjoy a clean-cut Phelps.

    “I’ve got the key, you bring the” Lochte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pure GFY greatness. My hat is off to you.

    I always think Beisel is a brunette too!

    Tyler Clary’s lady friend has on a seriously cute outfit.

    Michael Phelps needs to stay un-shaggy. Un-shaggy is shag-worthy.

    I think if Lochte was clothed-famous instead of practically-naked-famous, nobody would be swooning.

      Yeah, in all his clothes he’s actually not that hot, I think. I mean, he’s a good-looking guy, but sort of the same as every other good-looking frat boy I knew in college. It’s only in his swimsuit that he’s all that stupendous. I know that’s objectifying and unfair, but what can I say? There are some women (even ones I know) who are pretty in clothes, but amazing in a bikini. I’m not one of them, but it does happen.

        I might find Lochte cute if he’d stop talking. But instead, I think he’s kind of gross now.

      You think? I actually find his face (and body, duh) extreamely attractive. He’s right up my alley.

        Ryan Lochte is right up my alley as well. But as beautiful as he is, he is also a specific type; i.e. he’s hot in a frat boy kind of way. I actually prefer him when he had longer, curly hair a few years back, as that made him look like a Greek god and less like an overgrown frat boy. But yeah, Lochte’s a hottie for sure. Yum.

          He’s right up my alley too, so cute and I am fine being the smarter one of the pair. :) Oh why did I graduate from University of Florida 4 years before him?!

      Um, have you seen his Ralph Lauren ads? At Macy’s in Atlanta, as you come up the escalator there is a HUGE Lochte banner and it is stunning. I seriously almost fell on my face.

    You might need Natalie’s leather jacket, but she’s needs face blotter paper.

    Lochte needs a girlfriend to help him dress himself!

      Where’s that “I VOLUNTEER!” Hunger Games gif from the Ab post?

    You are NOT the only one who cares about Clary’s flip flops (or thongs, as my mother says. Gross). Seeing big boy pants and flip flops or slides together is a total pet peeve of mine and always seems to signal an upcoming game of beer pong. Or a totally bangin’ night out, bro.

    Re: Phelps Girlfriend: I do not for one second believe Mama Phelps would let a fame hungry woman near her gold medal winning baby boy. Not for a second.

    Nathan is adorable, even if he is a little under dressed.

    And Lochte still delicious. I don’t mind the suit and I love the cardigan look. (Im trying to get my husband to see how good of a look this is but he’s not budging on this “cardigans are things girls wear” stance.) But I do agree on the jeans needing to be slimmer. All in all..JEAH!

      My thoughts EXACTLY regarding mama Phelps. And the Phelps sisters. Let him have his fun and if she gets in the way, I’m sure as sh*t she’ll get the boot.

      Mama Phelps might just be waiting to see how it plays out…he’s about to go from training all-day every day to retired at 27 and traveling the world…that would be rough on any relationship! It has to be better than a Kardashian :)

        If Phelpsy were dating a Kardashian, we’d have to have a Carefrontation with him.

    Thank you for softening the blow of Phelps having a girlfriend with some adorable Nathan Adrian. His smile cures all.

      Nathan is adorable and the lady swimmers’ legs are as great as legs can get.
      BTW, Natalie is married and has a blog about her chickens on her farm.
      Thanks, Jessica and Heather for a great time with the swimmers… we won’t soon forget those men and their magnificent bodies. or the Lochte puns…

    I love Nathan Adrian, even underdressed (hell, I love him more underdressed.) Anyway, seconded on the “just friends” with Natalie Coughlin. I mean, they both went to Cal… they’re just being friendly, right?

    Natalie’s calves are AMAZING. That is all.

    Please, if his girlfriend is out for fame and fortune Mama Phelps will kill her with one of her chunky necklaces.

    Since Natalie Coughlin is married, and Nathan Adrian is six years younger, and here at Fug Nation we’re all fine with imaginary fanfic, I’m imagining that Nathan has a massive crush on Natalie (because, why wouldn’t you?) while she just thinks of him as her little brother.

    Not being overly familiar with that Ervin fellow, my first thought upon seeing that photo was “I didn’t know one of the American swimmers had a robot arm, I would have thought CTV would have mentioned that.”. Then I realized it was a camera’s flash assembly blocking his forearm. My second thought was “that boy does not know how to dress himself”.

    To me they’re all mermaids trying to adjust to human life, i.e., clothes. So they get a pass for being so badly dressed.
    On another note: WHERE IS CAMILLE?!

    Thanks for the Nathan attention! I totally think he’s got a big ole crush on Natalie, but I also just saw a random feature on Natalie’s photography talents on the local news, and apparently her favorite photo of the games is the one she took of Nathan on his way to the medal podium where he’s turning back to look at her with a huge smile.

    Flip flops. Really. I’m not a huge fan of mp, but at least he knows how to dress for a public occasion.

      Our photo source had him captioned thusly… someone upthread ID’d him differently so I’m going to investigate and fix if need be. Thanks!

    Anthony Ervin = Terry Richardson in that photo. Which is a bucket of ewwww.

    AND INDEED, our photo source had it wrong — It is Clark Burckle. Mr. Ervin, your name is CLEARED.

    Velvet jackets are so in. For me at least. I just got another in purple from Versace. And the blues look GREAT! I do like the at-first-glance bionic right arm in pic 5.

    I’m not wild about any of the clothing choices here except the Phelps picture. They all look nice. Extra kudos to the brunette with the shiny hair. She looks so cute that I think we can say she holds her own even standing that close to Phelps’s gorgeous model girlfriend.

    Nathan looks hot – if you have that great a body, and a T-shirt hangs on you that well, just go with it is what I say.

    Ryan Lochte is a lot hotter in his swimming trunks than clothed. He looks really sloppy in that first outfit. I prefer the cardigan look, even if the jeans could be better-fitting.

    All that “she’s only with him for his fame!” stuff in the media with Phelps’ girlfriend is ridiculous. Why not just say he’s only with her for her looks? What’s the difference?

      Because she’s getting a LOT more mileage out of being associated with him than he is with her.

        Everyone gets something out of any relationship they’re in. Who cares? It’s their business.

    Lochte dressing the way he does (so close, but yet so far off the mark) and the grill and some of the things he says, just turns me off.

    MP dressed the best for the event for me, and everyone else was ok. Like neige said, they are mermaids trying to adjust to life on the surface, so they get an ok from me.

    And I agree with GFY Heather about the Rupert/Kristen situation. Why isn’t he getting more heat about it? 41 is beyond old enough to know what the responsible thing to do is.

    MP and girlfriend look very cute together.
    Nathan Adrian looks cute, period.

    And Elizabeth Beisel…I hate to say this, but she’s from Rhode Island, and she looks it.

    1. Nathan Adrian is so adorable.
    2. Tyler Clary’s girlfriend(?) has really pretty hair, and I am jealous of it.
    3. Ryan Lochte is so hot, but so, so dumb. And for someone who wants to be a “fashion designer” he has terrible style.
