Adidas Wants You To Know That They're Serious About This Soles Thing.

And speaking of the new Adidas outsoles... here's an ad to go with it. Featuring Marat smiling dorkily, the Bryan brothers, and Ernests Gulbis, who doesn't even have to try to look dorky.

Do the words "dorky" and "sexy" belong together? I think Marat have successfully fused it together.

I think this is more of damage control than anything else. Nole using Nike for Wimbledon last year was bad, bad, baaad PR by Adidas, but they really did deserve it. Omg, even *I* am getting sick of myself going on and on about this. No more. I will shut down the comm major in me.

UPDATE:

Don't say I didn't tell you so. Novak has his own advertisement for the soles. Okay, Adidas, we get it. No need to beat us upside the head with it.

I hope I'm not the only one who giggled at "CC Genius Novak Grass".

Thanks to @Out_at_sea for the notice!

You May Not Have Noticed, But I Love European Men.

They think nothing of jumping into a tub with three other men, *and* immortalized in photograph.



If you don't think Ginge is totally hot here, I don't know how to help you. Seriously, who is the photographer? I might have to kiss him. He actually caught Ginge looking relaxed, bed-able and very muscular. That is like, some off-the-charts photography skills.

I Think I've Caught The Ginge Fever

Ginge Fever (tm Jills): an awesome state to be in if you're a tennis fan. You're troubled with denial, but then you feel this terrible urge to tell everyone else you've got it. Not so much awesome if you take tennis out of the fever. Because then you'll be admitting to lusting over this pasty, skinny, really dorky dude.

Here's Andy Murray and Some Very Metrosexual Dude (read: David Beckham) at No.10 Downing Street in London. They are marking the launch of the campaign "Malaria No More UK" and focuses on mobilising the public to raise funds for bed nets in Africa. Actually Andy tweeted about it and gave us a link. Go support him and all that.

Here are they with the Prime Minister. Yeah, 'cause he's that important, y'all.

I cannot get over his snaggletooth. It's so awesomely adorable.

*sigh*

That's all.

 

MONTE CARLO: Launch Party (UPDATED: Video)

3 days outta the loop and Monte Carlo started without me. Life's so not fair.

So here it is, guys, the mess that is the Monte Carlo launch party.

Oh my Lord, Rafa. I'm quite speechless here. Is that your father's jacket? Your Uncle Tony's? Tio Miguel? Costa's?

WHOSE IS IT?? YOU'RE KILLING ME. Get thee to a tailor, stat. Do not torture me so, I beg of you.

See Ginge? He's not trying too hard. Fitting jacket, brushed curls, scary snaggleteeth, but nice smile.

Dare I say Nando looks quite.. hittable here? Oh, Nando. If only you keep it in your pants more often.

Nole, I think I have a jacket almost exactly like that. I don't know if it doesn't bode well for me, you, or both of us. Your gf's very cute though.

Beautiful man. Terrible dress sense. That's all. I'd totally hit it though.

UPDATE: Video

Shakira On Rafa: "He's An Animal..."

Jay. Sus. Did you notice the pause before she said, "on courrt"?

I take it back. Turns out I don't like her that much. She got touched by Rafa, and got his shirt as well. *shakes fist*

Some wenches have all the luck. *cries*

Lanvin Rafa Launching In Taiwan

Lanvin L'Homme Sport will be launching in Taiwan on April 5th. Ahoy, the poster:

I guess they're using that image after all. Oh well.

Rafa's Babolat Advert

Here's a serving for all of us who lives in uncivilized places and therefore, no Tennis Mag.

As my BFF would say:

"Yes Rafa, bite it harder! Oh, it hurts sooo goooood!"

Okay, gonna go take my pill now.

Btw, he looks a little weird there. Photoshop much? Discuss.

 

SEO Miami: Gotta Love American Culture

What can I say to top that?

Miami: Sony Ericsson Opening Party (UPDATED)

What does it say about me that I think it's adorable how he hasn't actually figured out this dressing up stuff?

Says I am GONE.

Love the shoes though. Or have I been hanging out too much with my best gay?

Yes, the hair is a bit rough, but we all know he doesn't give a fig.

Benito probably threatened to take away his cookies to make him attend this party.

UPDATE: found more pics!

Ah, Maria Sharapova and her fashion sense.

Don't like her, don't like what she's wearing, but damn she looks good.

Looks REALLY good. Almost can't believe it's her. Are we sure that's her eyes, her jawlines? But those are deffinitely her shoulders.

I like the curls James, why did you shave it off? A little overdressed, but I'll take him.

Serena Williams and her confidence! I'd kill for a sliver of that.

Truth? I think the dress is awesome on her. Suits her to a T.

"Yeah you know I put the D in D-I-V-A."

Venus is the coolest girl on the block!

I don't like the dress, but the hair makes me forgive everything. Doesn't she look fab with that pixie cut? I totally approve.

But is that all? Where's JJ? Ana? Ginge??

Found more pictures at Great Tennis Photos!

JJ's makeup/hair color is verra verra nice. "Opens" her eyes. Approval stamp.

She looks really good with a simple LBD donchathink? I'd burn the shoes though.

Dasco is.. agh. I can't believe I ever made a post of Nando vs Rafa. He's such a skanky manho.

The jeans. The perfectly calculated opening of the shirt. The tucked in shirt. THE SHIRT. The belt. The hair. The shoes.

AGH AGH AGH.

Moving on.

Dress is fine. Agi has a gorgeous bod. The shoes - burn baby burn.

May I ask, what is the point of kitten heels? I never did get it.

Nole's such a goof. The smile erases all his mistakes here, such as the black jacket with the black sneakers, the pants that are too long...

You know what? The smile doesn't erase. Fail.

And I'd actually wear this combination - with different hair and with my complexion, I'd look gorrrrrrge.

I know, I'm so humble. Or delusional. You must get used to it.

What is going on HERE?? Is Coyote Ugly making a sequel?? What's with the random LV bag? Combined with snake pants?? Is this some kinda twist of Cavalli??

I don't even know what's happening with the rest. It's too much for my sensibilities to handle so I'll let you judge for yourselves.
