Sexy Skier
Posted on February 6th, 2010 by JeanThere always has to be some controversy, doesn’t there? I flicked on the news today only to find out that someone is raising a stink over the current Sports Illustrated cover. The cover features a skier in a tuck position. She’s sexualized (“they” say). Frankly I think that is hog wash. She’s skiing, for crying out loud.
I photoshopped this woman, Lindsey Vonn, into some sexy scenes. Do you know what? She wouldn’t even raise a few eyebrows.
• Is Lindsey too sexy for her skis?
• Did you hear of her before today?
• Are you a fan of the banana hammock?
The peeved “someone” is Dr. Nicole M. LaVoi of WomenTalkSports. You can find her [controversial] opinion here.

I had heard of her and I think she’s absolutely adorable. Beautiful. Funny thing, she’s on ski’s and in a skiing position. Trying to be sexy? I don’t think so. Why is it people do shit like this? Just wanting to cause a stink when there isn’t one?
As for the banana hammock, it depends who’s banana is hanging in it. You’re a riot.

Seriously?!! C’mon, she’s a skier, I’m pretty sure an ass needs to be in the air when one is skiing in tuck position ! Wow, that makes me really mad. There’s such a double standard. Anyway, SI is the mag that has the barely clothed and nipple peeking Swimsuit Issue.
You forgot in your video… Michael Phelps and his disgustingly skinny torso and barely there mankini plaguing magazine covers everywhere.

Wait, I watched it again. I did see Michael Phelps. Thanks for not making us relive his mankini with when stuff almost hanging out!

No mankini, no unitard. Body paint! I’ve never seen a man in body paint before.
The controversy made me mad too, Sherri. It’s nutty!

Jean, I have never heard of her. I have heard of people who have hang ups about sex. Maybe they are involved! LOL 🙂 Have a great week!

Crazy, huh, Luisa? Yep, I’ll bet that “Dr.” has hang ups. I don’t even know what kind of doc. she is.
Enjoy your week too!

there’s always someone. you can’t please everyone. What does this woman care about this one woman being sexualized? Has she not seen the uniforms for beach volleyball? Has she not watched MTV? she’ll drive herself nuts trying to protest every “sexualized” magazine cover.

I haven’t heard of her either, but I think she’d look beautiful and sexy no matter how she posed. She is just all that.
Jeezzz people have waaaay too much time on their hands. They need go live in an Amish village and just be happy and leave all the beautiful sexy people to us. 🙂

Sweetiegirlz – good point! We haven’t even heard Lindsey’s view. I’ll bet she is overjoyed to be on the cover, tuck & all.
Luisa – Thank you! I’ll be right over!
Angelia – I agree; she looks beautiful! LOL! Yes, they do need to get outta here and leave the beauties to us! 😀 You make me smile!

Bwahahahaha…..LOVE the video Jean! I think “they” should go suck and egg on this one. I have seen sexier ads for women’s makeup which is obviously targeted for a woman audience! I see nothing wrong with that photo at all.

Did you all read the blog comment of Dr. Nicole La Voi that Jean posted under the video?
Man, people were pissed!!!!! They slammed her big time for her blog and ignorant comments. She had a few supporters but most people felt the way we did.
Whatanidiot!

Thanks for stopping by today. It was great to meet you. I think the picture is amazing and people just need to grow up. There are other things to focus on then something as silly as a pose. Like she is a great at her sport.. Thanks again for stopping by..

Hi Lindsey! Thanks for swinging by. I can feel your passion. Her skiing position/pose should be a non-issue, huh?
Hi Amy! I’ll come by your Round Robin. Not sure what that is, but I’m bound to learn something. 😀

You know what? I think all the people that are complaining are the one’s who wish they looked that good in a tucked position.

I’m more offended by cigarette butts in mulch outside a store but it never seems to make the magazine covers. But when it does, I AM ALL OVER IT! I have all my comments and photos saved in a draft folder for when that makes the headlines. I’m so ON IT! *knocks over tables and storms off*

Hey, it is so not fair that a world athlete is that hot, too. Good for her for making that cover, sexualized or not. I don’t think it is sexualized, but then again, aren’t these the folks that put out swimsuit issues each year?
