Hellloooo

I know, I'm a slacker but I have a good excuse.  The US Open is on, all my spare time is devoted to watching tennis.  Granted, I could be sitting on the couch and still working on my laptop but then I might miss something important... ok, ok, I have the matches on Tivo so I could rewind but that wouldn't be the same either!

We are down to the quarter finals so things are wrapping up and I promise to get back in the groove.

In the meantime, have you seen some of the cute & not so cute dresses the girls are wearing:


Maria Sharapova looking very classy--too bad she lost.














Maria lost to Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, she was looking snappy in a Stella McCartney for Adidas outfit.

Here are a few of the other girls: Victoria Azarenka--she passed out on the court and had to be taken off in a wheelchair, very dramatic.

Ana Ivanovic made a pretty good run, she won the French Open a few years ago then dropped off the rankings, now she is working her way back.

Jelena Jankovic is slightly annoying to watch but she has great fashion sense.  She's started wearing clothes by a company out of China that doesn't seem to be distributed in the US yet.

You can't tell in this picture but this purple looks pretty cool on TV.

Finally, Venus Williams, she got it a bit of trouble at the French for wearing spankies (the shorts under the dresses) that wear flesh toned.  If you just got a glance it does seem a bit revealing but once you realize they are shorts, who cares!  Here is the controversial picture:

At the US Open she has worn a couple of different dresses this one was also kinda controversial because it was REALLY sparkly when she played under the lights in her night match.  So much so, that the commentators were talking about the fact it could be distracting her opponent.  She wore this same dress in red during the day matches.  Interestingly enough, her spankies this time are black but they also have sparkles on them.  When she finishes a long rally this dress was up almost past her waist so it's a good thing she was wearing something under there! ;-)  She designs her own clothes through her company Eleven.

Well, we shouldn't leave out the boys, there are some weird outfits out there... Novak Djokovic for one, he has crazy dragons and crap on his clothes lately... I don't get it.  I couldn't find a good picture of it, but I did find a nice one of him without a shirt. ;-)

Lastly, the two main hotties (in my opinion) Rafael Nadal & Roger Federer.  Rafa always has the newest, coolest Nike wear and Roger always has very classy--made just for him--Nike wear.  This shirt Rafa is wearing is HOT, you can't tell in the picture but it looks like it has darker stripes then a touch of green, whew!

Here they are:

Oh, one last note... Maria Sharapova is designing her own shoes and handbags with Cole Hahn.  I'm sure you noticed that she is no longer wearing Nike tennis shoes on the court.  It took me forever to find out that she is wearing her own design (with Cole Hahn) that is why there isn't a Nike stripe!
