| Who said fencing uniforms aren't sexy? Courtesy of NYT Magazine
Fencing would be so much more popular if we had jackets like these...  http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/200...3-STYLE_6.html
Needs more rhinestones though.....

| Yeah, her knee brace gives the outfit a certain verisimilitude, eh? It looks quite realistic for a fencer.

Only a Playboy model could make a chest protector or foil lame look sexy!! | 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.

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