Regarding the ESPN “body issue”: Violet – I’m disappointed you didn’t have a comment on the particular muscle development mentioned by the fencer that’s allegedly useless for anything other than holding his saber.

What I want to know is, will it be easy to find the ESPN covers with the male athletes in bookstores and elsewhere this year? Even in the Bay Area, all we seem to get are the female nude covers…when I’ve asked in the past, most bookstore sellers were unaware that male versions even EXISTED. I’ve had to call ESPN’s back issue office (staffed by a very nice and understanding woman, at least) to special-order them the last two years…let’s see if everybody gets with the program this time!

PS Here’s a Kindle rec for you, Violet (since I’m not on Twitter to respond there)…my favorite book so far this year is Eden Winters’ DIVERSION. It’s great as a thriller, a buddy comedy, and a hot m/m romance, with the most memorable antihero I’ve seen in a while. I didn’t think I’d like it, since I thought it would be too dark for me, but I absolutely adored it. (The final showdown does resolve a little quickly, but that’s a minor quibble).

Well of course the bodies are Olympic athletes are ones we want to see – they are supposedly ‘the best of the best of the best’ – the top 0.001% of the human race – and so exotic. Nice photos, of course, but we still have to remember that they are an ideal that most people will never come near.

Thanks once again for all the links, Violet.

Unfortunately, that BBC “investigation” was a fine example of yellow journalism, far below BBC standards: http://www.lauraagustin.com/slick-misleading-infotainment-on-sex-trafficking-from-the-bbc-no-ones-immune-then

Some Great shots of the Olympians, but the one with the jockey and the horse? That’s just Pure gold!
