I AM STILL ALL OF A FLUTTER, CHERYL. (Those tights. It's like he chose them JUST FOR ME.)

(That is his body, right? Not his head manipped onto a model's? I know you know it well.)

(Definitely him. Still gawping. And bracing myself for when Conny sees it :p)

I wonder if I should cross-post (hurr hurr) this to footballslash?

I'm not sure Conny will approve of his taste in men, but she'll be delighted about the handbag.

HIS LEGS ARE SO FABULOUS I COULD CRY! His shoulders are yummy too but THE LEGS!

Perfect icon is perfect, but you knew that already.

As Ruby pointed out, he has padded his boobies a bit. Impressive attention to detail there.

Lol I only have two cross-dressing icons, so it wasn't difficult. XD

What I don't get is why one of you didn't come and find me so I could discover football while Billy was still playing. Not only is he beautiful, but his willingness to do this is the kind of thing I love.

Did you see how he would go for Borriello? *snicker*

srsly: It would be nice to campaign against homophobia in a way that didn't stereotype The Gay as all being queens, but it's a start. (Coulda been the pedophilia canard, after all.....)

Please. I have asked this a thousand times! We were clearly born in the wrong countries.

HOW DID I MISS THAT? Oh, overwhelmed by everything else, right. Someone needs to interview Borriello and ask if he's flattered.

I suppose he's showing that he doesn't care about pleasing the kind of fan who thinks all calciatori should be butch and manly (and, of course, straight)? The level of commitment involved is satisfying. I mean, it costs very little to say "I support gay rights", a lot more to put on tights and stilettos. (Unless he just enjoys that.) However, I'm enjoying the drag so much I'm not really concerned about the srs bsns implications.

HOLY SHIT. I mean, someone's conflating homosexuality with trans-ness again, I suppose? But oh my god.

Of course the high heels hurt. XD Question is, whose brilliant idea was this? And, can I have his dress?

It is rather hard to see how women come into it, isn't it? Oh, well, as long as we get some footballers in drag, I'm not too bothered.

I need to know if there's a huge campaign based around this! Even if it's just Milan dressing up, we need Mexes, Monty and Pazzo in tights, yesterday. And ZOMG THEY NEED TO SELL THE PARAPHERNALIA ON EBAY. Best fundraiser evar!

Signed photos! Tickets to meet-and-greets! Charity drag balls! Seriously, whoever thought this up ought to know their fanbase well enough to give us that.

Even if it's just retired Milan dressing up. If I were to see Paolo Maldini in a dress and stilettos my life would be complete.

Yes! Pippo! His disgust will be beautiful to behold! And don't leave out Franco Baresi. Even if I am just saying that because I hope his brother will join in.

Billy is just giving me fluttery feelings in my heart. But dressing up as a woman is anti-homophobic? That's every bro in a fraternity ever.

Isn't it AMAZING? I demand more players!

*Contemplates* Yeah... but the frat boys don't necessarily want the pictures exposed to the cold, cruel light of day, do they? (Twitter response seemed very good when I checked earlier. No "urgh", just a lot of "O_o", "lol" and "I applaud him for drawing attention to this important cause".)
