Down Under

Hits and misses of summer in Oz-


So it's open season in Melbourne, and we're whale watching. Yellow and purple ones to be exact. When I saw this I thought of overripe banana + Barney. Also, how can you be a professional athlete and still look like that? I am b-to-the-e-fuggled, but apparently she didn't use to look like this.

What about Fernando "previously best known as Ana Ivanovic's boyfriend" Verdasco? He looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle with asymmetric abs. Granted he knocked Andy Murray out of the tournament for me, but are you sure this is an Adidas design? Please ask Ana to buy some shirts for you while she's busy shopping as you work your butt off to try and beat my Nadal.

Cowabunga! TMNT Fiasco


As with misses, there will be hits. Serena Williams' dress was well-received by the masses. This design by Nike comes in white too, but dark blue is nicer. Cut=great, fit=flattering, colour=awesome, victory=priceless. I say, this one's a winner on and off the court! Sweet :D

Gracious as ever



And the most controversial of all: sparkly checked shorts, possibly two-toned. It's pretty distracting if you ask me. Brother and I were conjecturing as to whether it was possibly a tactical decision. How else would you justify his agreeing to wear such uncharacteristic pants? He is known to be superstitious, thought to have OCD and always always played in his favourite trademark piratas up till this year. The crowds don't seem to mind though, they're easily enough placated by shirt changes during matches. LOL!

World Number One and AO top seed



Regardless of choice of apparel, I wish them all the best. This is just the beginning of the competitive year. Of course, I'm rooting for Serena and Rafa! Love them both. Will faithfully cheer them on from the confines of my home (:

Love and Excitement,
