I'm glad they do--I like his capri pants. <BR/><BR/>And you're right--there have certainly been lower cut tops and shorter shorts than what Bethanie had on. I think it was the ensemble as a whole--her snubbbing of the Wimbledon tradition that made everyone head for the fainting couch. Her interview was wonderful; she is a breath of fresh air (she is also a very good, but highly inconsistent, player). She got $1,000 for wearing an ad patch, and when asked how she could have gotten $5,000, she said probably if she had gone onto the court braless.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14100987.post-1151554208022760992006-06-29T00:10:00.000-04:002006-06-29T00:10:00.000-04:00I heard something about tube socks but never saw a...I heard something about tube socks but never saw anything because everyone at ESPN had moved on to the Nadal match. <BR/>So I went to look up some pictures. Basically the tube socks were the only thing out of the ordinary. I have seen bigger earrings, shorter shorts and lower cut tops and even the headband was fairly normal looking to me. <BR/>So why is Nadal exempt from criticism? Have the clam diggers just been accepted?kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975351996302093224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14100987.post-1151551198663306872006-06-28T23:19:00.000-04:002006-06-28T23:19:00.000-04:00They practically fainted over Bethanie Matteck's t...They practically fainted over Bethanie Matteck's tube socks, shorts, long earrings, and eyebrow piercing. That's Bethanie...she's going to find a way to work with the all-white restriction. No hints of lesbianism, however--just horror that she would wear such an ensemble. And an accusation of being an "ex-hippie" from the eternally clueless Pam Shriver.<BR/><BR/>I think that anything anyone (except Nadal) wears that is out of the ordinary at Wimbledon gets everyone all in a dither. Remember how Rosebud was always getting kicked off the courts after Ted Tinling dressed her?Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.com
