Fencing in Fashion: Italian Vogue Features Fencing Streetwear
April 25, 2009
Now you too can dress like a fencer…at work, school or play!
The fencing revolution continues with Italian Vogue’s unveiling of a fencing clothing line!!!!
Let’s start wearing fencing clothes on the street!!! Who is with me???
The article utilizes athletes Fabrice Jeannet of France and Matteo Tagliariol of Italy and a model to contrast the real competitive outfits to the clothing line.
The 2-page spread reads: (something like this via Igoogle translator)
And the most noble of all sports as loyal and respectful of the opponent’s own…
The etymology of the word Italian fencing brings with it the meaning of discipline…
connected to the function of the sword as a means not born to hit, but to defend and to his nickname of weapon white
Alright people, I expect to see everyone wearing fencing outfits around town in the near future!
Amazing Race Doesn’t Respond to Olympic Medalists Application…
April 25, 2009
Sadly, when we (Jason Rogers and myself) applied a few months ago to be on Season 15 of Amazing Race we at least expected to hear a response!
Several months have passed and we haven’t even received notice that we aren’t getting an interview.
Anyone know anyone at the Amazing Race???
It was always a long shot, but would have been fun!
NY Post Hot Bachelors Aftermath!
April 25, 2009
My inbox definitely has been full since the NY Post article Hot Bachelor came out!
Although (sadly) most of the emails have been from friends asking, “Have you gotten a ton of emails from women now?”
The answer is that we have gotten a few emails from women. A girl I met on the train a few years ago, saw the article and emailed. We each received a few emails with pictures…(Apparently the male nurse turned out to be the most popular in terms of email responses)
At our fencing club, the adult beginer class also had an additional 5 women join last week who saw the article! (That’s pretty cool)
Anyway, we truck on trying to promote fencing and create exposure that will lead us to sponsorships and partnerships to train for the London Olympics.
The author of the NY Post article Danica Lo and I on the set of the Fox Show "Happy Hour" holidng up the article...cheesy? Definitely.
