ParticipantI was referring to their muscularity, not their ethnicity (I am about as anti-racist as its possible to be). Whether society disapproves of their race means not one jot to me (I do happen to think that the UK is nowadays less inherently racist than the US, although 25-30 years ago it may well have been the other way around.) Their physiques, however, are still the subject of much derision and scorn on the Internet as a whole (I've read some very anti-femuscle and some racist views in the last few days).
Culturally, the UK is afraid of muscular women as much as, if not more so than the US – although the fad amongst teenage girls here to idolise dangerously skinny celebrities did lag behind the US, the prevailing desireable female stereotype has long been the curvy but soft figure. Being from the US, the Williams sisters were possibly 'tolerated' in terms of their Amazonic status because they were winning – success is a potent medicine that helps heal prejudices. Let's not ignore the fact that the UK hasn't had a decent female tennis player since the days of Virginia Wade and Sue Barker; both were talented and successful – Wade won Wimbledon, Barker won the French Open – but that was back in the mid-1970s. It therefore made popular opinion turn against the Williams sisters much more easily. Add in the excessive cultural influence of the British tabloid press (the infamous "red-tops") who decree that a "bit of totty" (young woman) isn't worth looking at unless she's curvy but unthreatening and possesses the all-important "big knockers" (breasts), and you can see that the conventional UK response to Venus and Serena was "ugly, bloke-like freaks in tennis dresses". By the way, all words in quotation marks are not my words, they reflect the opinions of either the Neanderthal-like Sun newspaper-reading so-called 'Great British public' or, in some cases even the 'chattering classes' – those often right-wing, middle-class reactionaries who read the Telegraph or the Daily Mail, both newspapers which pander to closed-minded reactionary thinking.

ParticipantWow – 2 for the price of 1! Someone must know who Julianas friend is, surely?

ParticipantGrandmaster – point #1 of my original post explains why Serena has only just joined my Goddess's list.
P.S. I'm damm glad I'm not the only one who thinks she's sexy. 8) I'd started to think it was just me! :-[ 8)January 10, 2007 at 9:01 pm in reply to: Final Version of Amy (Victoria 4) Worth seeing IMHO :P #44111cpbell0033944
ParticipantI can't see them – all I get is the dreaded red crosses. It's the samething that I got with pictures I posted of Jessica Biel – I could see them for the first 2 or 3 days and then they disappeared. Can anyone shed some light on what's happening here, please?

ParticipantCrampons? Check
Alpenstock? Check
Pitons? Check;D

ParticipantOMG, another incredibly sexy Canadian FBB! 😮 8) DROOOLS! She's definitely another for my Goddess list!
Note to self: Must visit Canada! (Bit difficult for a disabled English guy but, oh well, I can dream..) ;Dcpbell0033944
ParticipantI'm so sorry guys, I don't know what's happening to these photos. I post them, and then, a few days later, they disappear, leaving only little red crosses left. Help!

ParticipantNever saw a last name such as Malacarne before [it must be from spain]
my rough translation is 'mal-a-carne' = "something bad for the flesh"
Yes, I thought it sounded rather Spanish – I did study Espanol many years ago in school. Never has an FBB had a less appropriate surname!
