34th and Madison, Part 2
[Alyssa's note: Below, I refer to Usain Bolt as one of the fastest men alive. Well, at the Reebok Grand Prix, he one-upped that title by running a 9.72 in the 100m, breaking the current world record and becoming the fastest man alive. But just when you think there can't be a cooler name-sport combo than a man named Bolt being the fastest man alive, you find out about a Russian hurdler who set a world record in the 400m hurdles in 1986—her name: Marina Stepanova.]
Lipstick and Sports
When IRL driver Danica Patrick (who became the first woman to win an Indy race last weekend), steps out of her car after a race, she usually does so wearing lipstick. She also poses in leather undies (see April FHM), bats her eyelashes at interviewers and talks about her hair on Letterman (see Wednesday’s show). Usually, this wouldn’t bug me. Except for the fact that folks on the inside say this is disingenuous. When the cameras are off, Danica’s about as girlie as Chuck Lidell in a miniskirt. Which I believe sends the wrong message to young girls: You’ve gotta be beautiful, and girlie, and talented, and a bulldog on the racetrack to be great at this sport. That is a rare combination.
