Chexy’s Sports Roundup

by Chexy on August 31, 2011

Stephan Meier focuses during the FIFA Beach Soccer thing in Italy. Try to focus.

Peniel Mlapa (pronounced “Peniel Mlapa”) poses for team pix at the Kurwaldstadion in Bad Lippspringe, Germany. Ever had a bad lippspringe? Not pretty, but Matthias Ostrzolek was…

Lovely eyebrow work.

Kirani James (red shorts) of Grenada is embraced by LaShawn Merritt of the USA after the men’s 400 metres final at something in South Korea.

The Brothers Borlee also competed. The one on the left getting the death grip is a Kevin.

And one for the ladies… Tatyana Chernova (right) is congratulated by Anna Bogdanova at the women’s heptathlon.

Ciaran O’Lionaird of Ireland and his horrible mullet during the heats. You can see his 9 clearly on his shorts.

Mehdi Baala of France wears his country colors in flattering Lycra at Daegu Stadium. Tres bon.

This has been Chexy’s Sports Roundup, Try to Focus edition.

From the gorgeous blog of Shorpy, his 1965 photo of Disneyland’s Tomorrowland and its glam rockets, from a glorious Kodachrome slide.

Photographed from the late lamented Skyway gondola, which disappeared in 1994. (Click the pic for a super-ginormous view.)

Dancing with the Stars, 2018

by Chexy on August 30, 2011

The has-been “Dancing with the Stars” cast for 2018 has been announced.

Former actress and perennial arrestee Lindsay Lohan said, “Fhrwmp druh fwahncinh!” as she is no longer able to speak through her mouth. Maria Shriver, looking more like mother Eunice every year, will represent the Kennedys. Back from the brink Leo DiCaprio, fresh from losing 80 lbs. on Jenny Craig, will dance. Celeb mom Jackie Stallone, 96, cryogenically frozen since 2016, will be thawed for the show.

Former child star and transgender advocate Justina Bieber, former Washington DC Mayor Chris Brown in his first appearance since his arrest and rehab, Gingers Have Rights leader Rupert Grint, Anti-Scientology crusader and binky advocate Suri Cruise, now 12.

Suri’s mother, deprogramming expert Katie Holmes, will attempt to dance, along with game show host David Beckham, internet superstar Gay Carrington, and a “Dancing” first: a hologram of Princess Diana at age 58.

The Duchess and Alfonso Do It

by Chexy on August 30, 2011

Birds do it. Bees do it. The Duchess and Alfonso D. do it.

It was just another Sunday for the celebrated Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart of Spain and her boyfriend, Alfonso Diez, seen here casually lumbering on a shopping street in Ibiza. Spaniards in the noonday sun do it. Let’s do it.

The Duchess, 85, wore dots and a sky blue rose in her snowy cloud of cotton candy hair. Alfonso, 61, appears to have been working out, or that could be from lifting her. Even educated Ibizans do it.

Hello, Cayetana.

Let’s do it.

Why shouldn’t they fall in love?

Turban Tuesday: Abraham Lincoln

by Chexy on August 30, 2011

One usually thinks of Abraham Lincoln in a stovepipe hat, but not on Turban Tuesday, thanks to this “moneygami” of Abe in a snappy turban worth at least five bucks.

This should remove all doubts about Lincoln’s sexuality.

Enjoy more moneygami here.
