Addendum To Hot Ladies
I should be writing my review for the Xena season five opener Fallen Angel. The episode has been watched, the notes have been taken. But I'm way too lazy right now and I'm anticipating an evening drinking beer with friends on a patio so . . . I don't see it happening. That's okay, though, because I feel the need to make some changes to my Hot 25 post from a couple weeks back.
I thought about it a little and realized I had two very huge omissions and, over the last week, I've been besotted enough to add two newcomers to the list. I can't help it. I didn't know who these people were when I made my original post and they're already rushing to the top. What can I say? I'm easy.
So please let me add this addendum:
Katrina Law
She's just really drop dead gorgeous and I'm embarrassed that I omitted her in my original list. She was only in a few episodes of the first season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand but it was enough.
Viva Bianca
Similarly, I'm also embarrassed that I forgot about the lovely Viva Bianca, who is not only beautiful but also has some great acting chops. I mean, it's not easy to be as intriguing onscreen against Lucy Lawless.
Sasha Alexander
I've only been watching Rizzoli & Isles for, like, a week. But I really like it, even though there are plot holes and rushing galore. Now, most of the people I know watching this show are busy swooning over Angie Harmon and her husky voice. It has its place, but I don't see it competing against the beautiful eccentricity of Sasha Alexander's Maura Isles. Just . . . no way.
Hope Solo
I don't typically watch soccer. I've tried watching MLS matches and I've tried watching the European teams play when they're shown on ESPN. But it never holds my attention. The World Cup, however, is another story. Maybe it's the fun of international competition that makes me think of the Olympics (basically my favorite thing ever), but I could watch soccer all day if it's the World Cup (or the Euro Cup).
As many of you probably know, the women's World Cup is currently in session and, today, the United States took on Brazil in the quarterfinals, a rematch of the match they played at the last World Cup in the semifinals (which Brazil won 4-0). This match . . . Was fucking amazing. Not necessarily in terms of its beauty and certainly not due to its officiating, but the fight and spirit of the Americans to come back, one woman down, in stoppage time of over time? Holy fuck. (That assist from Megan Rapinoe to Abby Wambach in the 122 minute? Fuck!)
And, on top of that, their goalkeeper, Hope Solo, is kind of majestic. And her name is Hope Solo which has to be, like, the coolest name of all time. She kind of reminds me of Xena, actually, but way less scary. I really want her to guard my goal. Really, really. (That save against in penalty kicks? Awesome. The celebration after? Even better.)
Okay, I'm glad I got that off my chest. And seriously, that match against Brazil was insane in the membrane. I fell in love with the whole American team, I think. Awkward for dates.
