    Who said fencing uniforms aren't sexy? Courtesy of NYT Magazine

    Fencing would be so much more popular if we had jackets like these...

    Yeah, her knee brace gives the outfit a certain verisimilitude, eh? It looks quite realistic for a fencer.
    And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

    Speaking of fencing-jackets-as-fashion-items, do you remember when Michael Jackson wore them regularly?

    Examples:

    That was back in 1993 because I asked Ted Katzoff about it because the shoot was at the Westside Fencing Center (I saw the background). The copy said she loved to fence and blah-blah. In reality... she never did such a thing.

    Heh....i remember Junior saying one time one of the shots had a sabre coming in toward the model from out of the frame, wielded by his father...you could see his hand.

    So therefore, D'Asaro Sr could claim he was in Playboy!!!
