Fug or Fab: The NBA Draft


Everyone says the NBA Draft is usually the worst-dressed night in pro sports. I was expecting insanity, and what I got was… some bow ties, rogue sleeves, a couple jackets that don’t close… That’s not NBA-level crazy; that’s barbershop quartet tomfoolery. Which is not to say that it was a parade of glory, but seriously, what happened? Did some enemy of fun step in and try to tone down the madness? BOO, sir or madam. BOO.

Well Played, Olympians


Dear Vogue,

I complain about you all the time. But shirtless Ryan Lochte really makes up for a lot.

Thanks for once,

Jessica

PS: Hope Solo and Serena Williams look nice too, even if pictures of people running are always a little awkward.  I’d say more but I keep getting really, really distracted. Oh, Olympics. You can’t be here soon enough.

Secretly Fab: Kelly Holmes


Kelly Holmes here is a British middle distance runner who overcame serious depression to win not one, but TWO gold medals in Athens. When she was 34. So she is awesome:

And this is at the premiere of a movie about the British women’s sprint relay team, so it’s apt that she’s in attendance. When I first saw this, I thought the train was made of fur — and I’ll never get over the fact that it isn’t, frankly. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still want to see how it looks when she runs in it.  Yeah, it’ll really ruin her time, but but she’ll look AWESOME.

Amusingly and Smithly Played: Will Smith, with Bonus Roger Federer


If this were a scene out of a Will Smith movie, he’d make that exact expression and be all, “What’s all that racket, y’all?” and then probably break the fourth wall and… I don’t know, come out with a song called, “Racketology,” and then try to put his face on some tennis shirts. … Shoot, now I kind of hope he makes that movie.
