Serena ain't ugly. Her features are just not European enough for the likes of you (that was a joke, bilmore). Hell, you think Pink is hot. And aside for her "Get the party started video," she is decidedly not.

I think Serena is rather striking, not in the with -a-stick kind of way. Venus, not so much. But despite their muscle build they both present themselves as pretty feminine from what I've seen.

(And yet a good waxer can remove the tell tale steroid induced facial hair).

A. Sorry if that came off bitchy.

B. There's no absolute, and exercise will do great things, but when a certain stage of muscle development is reached, yeah, the prediction of steroid use is fairly reliable, esp. when combined withe the presence of some other physical changes they provoke.

oh.
i guess i don't know enough about stages and the other physical changes. are we talking voice deepening, facial hair, things like that? do serena and capriati have them? (just curious, not trying to argue for its own sake). do men who take steroids get the same side effects?

Speaking of tennis players, did anyone else read the article where Venus is starting her own interior design biz? I'm not sure if she's just planning for the future after tennis or if she's tired of everyone pointing out that her little sister is beating her and planning on getting out sooner than expecte.

Either way, I'm hoping the Williams' sisters taste in tennis outfits isn't a glimpse of their design sense.

I saw that. I think she realizes, correctly, that her younger sis is both a better tennis player and more attractive woman than her. The worst thing about the former fact is that Richard Williams has been proven correct that Serena would, in time, become the better player.

Not being a fan of the "less is more" approach of interior design, or tennis dress, I agree with your hope. I can assure you that I want my interior design to cover me from all angles. I don't particularly relish curtains that cover only, say, the upper corners of the windows. Or neon carpeting.

Venus is in the enviable position of having such incredibly deep pockets plus a well-known name, that she, unlike most interior designers, will have a decent chance of making it through many lean years before she can actually strike it rich.

Please think about Dignan. Please.

Did Dignan ever think about me?

You probably never even think about me.

Think about that.

Or Paigow will be sorry...

Dear Sebby,

I'm glad my ideas intrigued you, even if you're not into my aesthetics. NTTAWWT. Can't wait to send you my newsletter which describes the virtues of the bass fiddle position (not in a disgustingly clinical I-love-myself-like-JFF kinda way either).

In guys, testicles shrink, breasts grow, they start to go bald, and, in general, they get weird emotionally (manic-d, irritable, etc.). In women, development of masculine characteristics, such as decreased body fat and breast size, deepening of the voice, excessive growth of body hair and loss of scalp hair, severe acne and stunting of bone growth, along with all the emotional stuff, too. Plus, in both, muscle mass increases much more quickly than one would expect, and to a greater extent.

So women go after professional athletes why?

I used to go to a gym frequented by hardcore juicing bodybuilders and it was fairly easy to tell who was on cycle and who was not. I remember one guy got so pissed he couldn't do enough reps or something with the weight he was using that he threw a dumbell through a mirror. Crazy shit. Also, he was in his late 30's and had acne like a 15 year old.

It's like this. All athletes take steriods. Male athletes grow boobs due to steriod use. All women need big boobs to be desirable to the opposite sex, which is all any woman should really care about. Women can achieve bigger boobs by being injected with the boob growth serum from the male athletes.

That's why women go after professional athletes.

Or you could just conscientiously do those exercises like in "Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret" and grow up to have your own, instead of having to go after a man-boobed jock. Worked for me.

I actually tried this back in the day but I could never determine whether I was doing it right. They should have provided an instructional video.

You're right TM. An impotent man-boobed lunkhead whose career will be over and his life meaningless at 35 is exactly what I prefer over an actual man. Ass.
