G-Strings on the High-Bar
Three former Romanian gymnasts who have been heavily criticized for 
appearing nude in a DVD film and photographs in Japan bared all yet again in a Japanese news magazine.
The photos, published in the latest issue of the Shukan Gendai, show
Lavinia Milosovici, 26; Claudia Presecan, 23; and Corina Ungureanu, 22, posing naked and performing gymnastics on a balance beam in only a G-string. The issue was sent to subscribers on Sunday.

The three have been embroiled in a scandal in Romania and Japan since 
they first appeared nude in the magazine's Nov. 16 issue.

Weeks later, two DVDs and a book featuring them naked went on sale in Japan.
Their photos — some taken in suits bearing the Romanian Gymnastics Federation crest — nearly brought a ban against the federation in Japan last month. The Romanian federation later barred the three from coaching and refereeing in official competitions for five years.

Anna Nicole Smith Named Worst Dressed of 2002
Now we know why she made her living as a stripper -- her clothes are just too ugly to wear.
Hollywood's fast-talking fashion designer Mr. Blackwell named former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith on Tuesday as the worst dressed woman of 2002. But she was not alone.
She was followed closely on the annual list that has become a Hollywood favorite by a bevy of pop singers including Christina Aguilera and Shakira, actresses Meg Ryan and Cameron Diaz, Britain's Princess Anne and Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of British rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
Mr. Blackwell, a one-time designer for Jayne Mansfield,
Jane Russell and Dorothy Lamour, said Smith topped his 43rd annual list because "Anna's fashion follies are the worst of the year ... don't bother with a new designer Anna, just hire a structural engineer!"
Smith, a Texas native who worked as a stripper when she met her late millionaire octogenarian husband, has been starring in her own TV reality series that has been savaged by the critics for its inane content, poor fashion sense and embarrassing portrayal of its bumbling, overweight heroine.

The Madam opened the brothel door and saw a gentleman.
"Can I help you" the madam asked?
"I want Natalie," the old man replied.
"Sir, Natalie is our most expensive lady, perhaps someone else..."
"No," said the man, " I must see Natalie."
Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the old man that she charges $10,000 per visit.
Without blinking, the man reached into his pocket and handed her one
hundred $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour, after which the man calmly left.
The next night he appeared again demanding to see Natalie. The madam
explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row and that
there were no discounts. It was still $10,000 a visit. Again, the man took out the money and the two went up to the room.
When he showed up the third consecutive night, no one could believe it.
Again he handed Natalie the money, and up to the room they went. At the
end of the hour, Natalie questioned the man: "No one has ever paid for my services three nights in a row. Where are you from?"
The old man replied, "I'm from Philadelphia."
"Really?" replied Natalie "I have family who live there."*
"Yes, I know," said the old man. "Your father died, and I'm your sister's attorney. She asked me to give you this $30,000."
MORAL-Some things in life are certain: death, taxes, and being screwed by an attorney!!!

FOR THE MOTHER-TO-BE
With fashion science having moved on with leaps and bounds moms-to-be have
no need to fret. So who cares if that belt doesn't quite meet its other
half and the zipper is at half-mast. You're pregnant and its time to
celebrate those new sensuous curves. Yes indeed moms-to-be are out of the
closet. No more billowing tent dresses and girlie bows.
Pregnancy is now a belly baring, tight fitting fashion statement.
Maternity and fashion are two words you probably didn't expect to see
together. However, maternity clothes have gotten a lot more stylish since
our mothers had us. And to make you look really swell what matters is what
you wear underneath.
Today's maternity clothing is designed to grow with a pregnant woman's
body.
Not only has maternity clothing and fashion been re-invented, maternity
apparel has also been re-designed. Similarly maternity lingerie has been
transformed to accommodate the changing physical needs of the expectant
mother. Just as big shirts and tent like dresses are maternity clothing
history, so are bloomers and grandmother size bras. To match the new
maternity threads lingerie manufacturers also have daring lace bras,
thongs, camies and bikinis.
Very important however for a mom-to-be is a well-fitted maternity bra.
Maternity bras will give you the support you need during pregnancy, as
they are specially designed to accommodate the changing physical needs of
expectant women. To assure the proper fit, consult a trained salesperson
who can measure you to determine your pregnancy bra size. Maternity bras
are constructed to better fit and support your maternity shape than
regular bras. They usually come with wider straps for extra support, and
more material in the cups for extra coverage. Several rows of hooks or
fasteners in the back will allow for the rib cage growth that you will
experience during the course of your pregnancy. You should buy a maternity
bra as soon as you are no longer comfortable in your non-maternity bras,
and you should size it so that it fits you on the tightest hook, so that
you can get more mileage out of it as you grow.
A nursing bra should not really be purchased until the last month (or few
weeks) of pregnancy, when the size of your breasts is closest to when your
milk comes in. A nursing bra typically has a few hooks, or velcro, or some
other type of fastener at the top of the cup for easy opening, and the
ability to adjust the tightness of the cup. Some styles are just meant to
pull off to the side. Some even come with pockets to hold nursing pads.
Whichever style you prefer, be sure to get a good fit. A nursing bra that
is
too restrictive may clog your milk ducts and interfere with your milk
supply. Even maternity and nursing bras have become interesting with
animal prints and aqua themes guaranteed to add some pep to your step.
Fitness plays an important role during these blissful nine months. Lots of
women exercise for the whole nine months, and one of their major
considerations is for good maternity fitness gear. Individual preferences
for maternity fitness pieces vary from one person to the other and are
dependent on individual taste, the climate in which a woman works out, and
the type of exercise she does. For indoor exercise or warmer weather,
short unitards or bike shorts may be preferred. For outdoor exercise in
cooler climates, long unitards and leggings may be more appropriate, as
well as a lightweight zip-up jacket to throw on before and after.
For low or no impact exercise, a jog bra may be fine. For higher levels of
impact, a good sports bra would be much more supportive.
As far as swimming is concerned I guess you will have to tuck last year's
string bikini back into the drawer. But don't you worry there are lots of
options out there in maternity swimwear. There are more options today than
ever before - styles and prints that can be as conservative or daring as
you choose to be! There are, of course, the traditional one-piece basics,
with low leg cuts and front pouch bellies. Some manufacturers have added
new contemporary twists, such as a flirty skirt bottom to flatter a
spectrum of leg and hip shapes. Some have turned the one piece into two,
with a long skirted top and maternity brief underneath. But in today's
maternity world, you can now take a walk on the wilder side with new
two-piece suit styling, with the non-maternity classic, under-the-belly
bottoms, or a little less bold over-the-belly bands. With all the options
in today's maternity swimwear market, there's a suit out there for you
that can reflect your own shape, personal preference, and, above all,
personality! Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful things in the world -
so show it off!
You don't have to lose your style or live in big baggy clothing for nine
months. The looks are limitless in maternity wear and staying comfortable
underneath is the key to a happy and comfortable pregnancy. Feel confident
in your choices. Ritika@mcpetesez.com
