Fashion models just hanging out? Posted by: Robert Basle Tags: Oddly Enough, beauty, breasts, Fashion, humor, sex,topless Earlier this week I did an item about a hot new fashion trend, dresses that leave one you-know-what exposed, so a woman has to cover it with her hand. I pointed out many flaws in this design, like if you’re left-handed it’s hard to take notes in algebra class and stuff like that. But some readers were like, “Bob, that’s just one dress, it’s not a trend, so shut up.” Well skeptics, you heard it here first. Behold a similar creation from a fashion show yesterday, in MIAMI! Unless this model is just wearing her dress backwards, the trend has arrived on our shores and we have to accept it. Women, I guess it’s time to get out ahead of the curve, so to speak, and start practicing. Take one of your old dresses and some scissors, do your own design, and wear it out to a restaurant this weekend. If anybody objects, send them to my blog.

If we could match this with a two handed handshake, when meeting people life would be grand ! - Posted by Pleased to meet you March 20th, 2009 8:08 pm GMT You know…some little tassles or pasties would probably make a little more sense…. - Posted by K March 20th, 2009 9:58 pm GMT To Robert Basler: Be careful what you wish for. If you think all women have nice little breasts like models you are sadly mistaken. Some breasts are creepy to look at and it’s a good thing they remain covered. - Posted by Dan March 20th, 2009 11:28 pm GMT I believe female athletes in the ancient Greek Olympics competed with one breast exposed. Been there. Done that. - Posted by david March 21st, 2009 12:10 am GMT That chick is smoking hot and her and her boobs need to be in pictures more. - Posted by Wouter March 21st, 2009 12:43 am GMT Women didn’t compete in the ancient Greek Olympics, nor were they allowed to watch since men competed in the nude. However, the Amazons in Greek mythology were a tribe of warrior women who removed one of their breasts so that it would be easier for them to throw spears. - Posted by Chuck March 21st, 2009 5:42 am GMT Not to throw spears, even though it is a close call, but to use their bow. Sword wielding is easier as well without these… burdens, in a way. - Posted by V March 21st, 2009 1:22 pm GMT The Amazons used bows, not spears. Their right breast obstucted the bowstring when they fired, so they cut it off (the breast, not the bowstring). All in all, a stupid fashion. - Posted by John M March 21st, 2009 7:46 pm GMT it is a little sad that designers should resort to thisunderhanded sleight of hand to garner a little slither offame for themselves and their dark little worlds’. but the greatest misjustice is the insult to the gorgeousmodels who have to put up with the peevish, whimsical nature of said DESIGNER, just to earn a few greenbacks and maintain a little continuity of work. guessing designer males’ come and go, but beautiful, intelligent women are here to stay; more power to them… - Posted by bretto March 22nd, 2009 2:35 pm GMT It’s just a boob.

Russian GM Tatiana Kosintseva finished third in the ACP Women's World Rapid Cup in Konya, Turkey. Georgian GM Nana Dzagnidze, leader of the 2010 FIDE Women GP – Jermuk The History of the Women's World Chess Championships In 1996 Zsuzsa Polgar beat Xie Jun at Jaen to become the last World Champion to win the title in a classic match played on the same terms that had been in effect since 1953. The next Candidates Tournament in Groningen 1997, was organized concurrent with the first of the FIDE World Championship Knockout tournaments. Alisa Galliamova and Xie Jun finished 1st and 2nd, seeding them into the final match.The final match in the Women's Championship was scheduled to be played in Shenyang. After Galliamova refused to play the entire match in China, the win was awarded by default to Xie Jun. The title match would be Polgar - Xie Jun. By the time FIDE announced the date and venue for the title match, Polgar had given birth to her first child. She considered that the time to recover from childbirth and to prepare for the new match was insufficient. She requested that the match be postponed, FIDE refused, and negotiations broke down. After the contract deadline passed, FIDE declared that the title match would be played between Xie Jun and Alisa Galliamova. The forfeited Candidates match was to be resurrected as a title match! The 1999 match, with a venue split between Kazan and Shenyang, was won by Xie Jun. A year later, at New Delhi 2000, Xie Jun defended her title by winning the first Women's Championship played with the knockout format. She beat her compatriot Qin Kanying in the final match of the six rounds event. The Chinese dominance was reconfirmed when Zhu Chen beat Alexandra Kosteniuk in the final match of the Moscow 2001 knockout event. On July 7, 2004, Antoaneta Stefanova from Bulgaria became the 10th World Champion at the Championship held in Elista, The president of FIDE, the President of the republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilymzhinov, set a diamond crown on her head. Then on March 2006, Xu Yuhua became the next Champion in Ekaterinburg. The next championship which was organized in Nalchik in 2008 was won by Alexandra Kosteniuk, the current reigning champion, and in the closing ceremony the President of Kabardino-Balkaria, Arcen Kanokov, and FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov awarded the winners of the Championship. In third place came Pia Cramling (Sweden) and Humpy Koneru (India), and in second, the youngest-ever finalist, Hou Yifan (China) was warmly applauded by the audience. The longest applause was naturally reserved for the new Champion, Alexandra Kosteniuk from Russia. All the prizes were presented and the Champion was crowned with a very beautiful and luxurious crown, hand-made in Kabardino-Balkaria.

Oksana -- Russian Immigrant with 39 Lawyers 10/16/2010 1:00 AM PDT by TMZ Staff TMZ has learned ... Oksana Grigorieva -- who has said she doesn't have the power to fight the Mel Gibson machine -- has hired a grand total of 39 (THIRTY-NINE) lawyers so far ... to wage legal war on her behalf.All 39 lawyers have been doing legal work for Oksana in her fight with Mel. Even more shocking, we know at least 18 of the 39 lawyers have submitted more than $1 million in legal bills to the court ... and they're asking the judge to make Mel pay the tab.As for the 39 lawyers who have jumped on board team Oksana, they include: Lisa Bloom, Martin Garbus, Daniel Horowitz, Eric George, Sonia Lee, Robin Sax, John Carlson, James Spertus, Ezra Landes, Mary Fulginiti, Amy Hinkley, Dan O'Malley, Suzie Obeda and Amanda Touchton.But there's more ... the firm of Trope and Trope has put the following lawyers on Oksana's case: Sorrell Trope, Anne Kiley, Angela Harris, Bret Hunter, Hillary Slevin, James Durant, John Ellis, Jennifer Leong, Jonathan Pakravan, Katie Heersema, Lori Howe, Melanie Shornick, Mark Patt, Sophie Bidet, Sarah Luetto, Thomas Dunlap and Tara Scott.And, the firm of Freid and Goldsman have put the following lawyers on Team Oksana: Manley Freid, Gary Cohen, Marci Levine, Janet Kaplan, Cori Steinberg, Susan Park, Jill Foley Alexander and Kristine Capell.And the irony -- at the moment Oksana has no family law attorney repping her ... almost all of them have either been fired or quit.
