I would love sitting in a corner coming up with concepts. You advertising brain must be like that also.<br /><br />@ Sucharita - yes the verbal sparring will turn into verbal something else if I am not careful lol!<br /><br />@ Megan - too, too funny!<br /><br />@ Stefan - well you have nothing to complain about then, lol<br /><br />@ Paris - thanks for dropping by and glad you are feeling better.<br /><br />@ CM-Chap - thanks for stopping by. I hope yu get to watch a game on Centre Court some time.<br /><br />@ Magee - balance, yes thats what my grandmother always said. About everything come to think of it.<br /><br />@ Annette - you are right. The average normal girl who is still very pretty cannot compete. It must be so hard for them to be judged on their looks when they are there to be judged on their tennis abilities.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-2682005007442512352009-07-02T23:20:19.132+10:002009-07-02T23:20:19.132+10:00@ Darsden – you must post about your tennis someti...@ Darsden – you must post about your tennis sometime soon. I loved your tennis story and you wiping the court with that guy. Woo hoo. Do you still play? It’s a great game!<br /><br />@ Fish Hawk – he he, very funny! Love your Legal Disclaimer. What is that in case your wife finds my blog and your comment?<br /><br />@ Roshni – yes I think it is all about sponsors – you go it in one. Advertising $s.<br /><br />@ Pastor Sharon – I think you would make a great Rockette. You could dress like that while giving your sermons. That should make the congregation stand up and take notice. I am sure you don’t need that though from reading your blog.<br /><br />@ Rhonda – you are right and that story is horrible. Stupid girl.<br /><br />@ Juls – I heard Chris Evert talk about those grunting sounds – she thinks they do it before they execute the shot as a way to put off their opponent. I think they were going to ban it but Maria S is still doing it at Wimbledon.<br /><br />@ Christine – Spornography – yep.<br /><br />@ Soul Merlin – I think you may make a better Rudolf then I would a Hilary. Besides I would worry about breaking my nails, lol!!<br /><br />@ Sarah – I agree reality is so much better than fantasy anyway.<br /><br />@ Sylvia – you don’t have TV – I admire that Sylvia. Then again, I like the way you think. Inspirational.<br /><br />@ Kay – yes I know of Michelle. That would be why because of her appeal factor. Good luck to them but it’s sad for some poor person who is not blessed with looks though. That’s life.<br /><br />@ The Mind of a Mom – two hours to get ready, lol. Oh my!<br /><br />@ Banoffi – now that is deep....and true.<br /><br />@ SugarCain – Cheerleaders. Now we have them here for football too. Russell Crowe the actor bought a football team and threw out the cheerleaders and put in a marching band. He thought they were not suitable for family entertainment. Kudos to him.<br /><br />@ Lisleman – sorry I could not get back to you and I have yet to visit everyone’s blogs as well. No there is nothing wrong in admiring a fit body. All elite sports people have them. This is a little different. They are selecting players to be televised who have prettier faces even if they are not the best players. That is a little perverse. Interesting about dead celebrities. I am sure it will be the case with Michael Jackson too.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-47663960634509532552009-07-02T23:11:08.921+10:002009-07-02T23:11:08.921+10:00They're starting to look all a bit Barbie Doll...They're starting to look all a bit Barbie Dollish though.

Thank you for doing such worthwhile work!<br /><br />@ Carolyn – yes it is a big sigh and yes Wimbledon organisers are backtracking now...<br /><br />@ Betty – it’s never about anything but money – you think we would have learnt our lessons.<br /><br />@ Ugich – yes great comment – it’s all about the commercial interests and people are commodities.<br /><br />@ Sam – when you are really famous watch yourself!! LOL<br /><br />@ cjw666 – I was waiting for your response. So you watch women’s tennis for the skill factor and beach volley ball for the entertainment factor. You live in a warm climate don’t you – surely you could park yourself on the beach with a pair of binoculars for that kind of view and get a tan at the same time. Lol!!<br /><br />@ Vicky – I actually read somewhere when the economy gets worse we like our sport and entertainment even more so to give us a reprieve over what really ails us. It’s all started in the war apparently. Sport became a great unifier. I think we have got the whole reward thing way out of whack though. But that won’t change I daresay.<br /><br />@ Julie – Spornography – yes I should copyright that word.<br /><br />@ Peggy – you do know every time you see luscious women playing sport in the briefest of gear while their male counterparts are more sensibly dressed you will think of that word, spornography!!<br /><br />@ LadyFi – soul – you said it. That I why I do not believe atheists exist. Everyone honors a God – mostly money and material possessions.<br /><br />@ Good on you Tami – I am with you the sporting prowess first and the cute guys second. All athletes are good to watch and inspiring.<br /><br />@ Aleta – this was interesting. In the US you have to be super good looking to be on TV – just look at your soaps. BUT if you are in the UK you don’t. And Australia is in between and more like the USA. That is a great point.<br /><br />@ Kristina – yes Andy is a lovely young guy!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-48101395110173061482009-07-02T10:12:14.699+10:002009-07-02T10:12:14.699+10:00Hi Lilly...finally getting to stop by after not fe...Hi Lilly...finally getting to stop by after not feeling good for a few days.

I find it interesting that this strange/unfair? value system continues after death.

I've been so disgusted with the media for so many years now and it just gets worse. I haven't bought a magazine in I don't ever remember how long, we don't have TV and yet everywhere you look -- at the grocery store, the pharmacy! I even stopped the newspaper. If there is something I feel I need to know I can find it on the computer -- but I find it, not the other way around.

I...I know I was disgusted to find out they do this. It is a sporting event for chrissakes not a beauty pageant. Now after looking at the TV and press for days on end about Michael Jackson I am convinced the world is crazy.<br /><br />Seriously what is wrong with us that we think its ok for the media to publish images of his dead body, images of his children, transcripts of his autopsy report, the views of every hanger on imaginable and worse still the lies and sepculation of trashy journalists. I remember you said you never bought another magazine after Heath Ledger died and I am with you on this. I will never buy another newspaper or magazine again. And TV viewing is also going to be seriously curtailed starting with the news. We all need to get back to the real world not a fantasy world that the media and Hollywood create for us.<br /><br />After that rant, great post Lilly. Rhonda is so right about this topic. So right.Sarahnoreply@blogger.com
