The Ecstasy of Gold

[louiselux]

Roger's new Wimbledon kit this year is very shiny. Roger's bag handles co-ordinate with his belt, and under the coat there is a matching waiscoat. This is no ordinary tennis outfit.

It seemed to have upset some critics, not because they don't like the cut of Roger's trews, but because they think that Roger's dress sense is alienating proper manly men from watching tennis, for fear they might suddenly feel compelled to rush out and buy a gold and white manbag. Or something. Rock on, I say.




Belt = bag. *impressed*








In conclusion, Rafa's cheekbones are better than everyone's.

I for one ADORE Roger's Wimbledon get-ups every year. It's wonderful to see him have so much fun with it. And lol reading that article was a bit of a chore, oh boo-hoo poor man feeling threatened by ~gold~ and posh trimmings. I agree with what one of the sane comments said re: odd double-standards too, considering that the ~old greats~ of Tennis during the 70s/80s did show up in quite short shorts, and wouldn't that be considered more fey by the OP's standards and etc. *ROLLS EYES FOREVERRR*

And that last picture of Rafa is gloriously full of attitude (and cheekbones!!), I love it ♥

I love Roger's Wimbers outfits! Yes, at least he's not turning up in little shorty shorts. Although, actually I would not mind that at all. Gold ones!
