How unusual - a post about tennis

[louiselux]

The Empire of Bags has a rush wholesale order due by Friday, so I am a bit busy. HOWEVER, I just wanted to procrastinate by posting some Rafa and Roger pics that have caught my eye this week. I'm feeling simply desperate amounts of Fedal love since rewatching Wimbers 08 with buckle_berry at the weekend ans sighing at the unnecessary hair touching and stroking. Sigh sigh.

Stubbly, freckley, smiley Rafa from today's Guardian interview:



This one is a bit mesmerising. Rafa in the locker rooms at Barcelona, posing ~interestingly.



Towel!Rafa:



I feel pretty sure Roger took this self-portrait with his clearly rubbish camera phone propped on a wall at the Palais Omnisport or wherever. It's so incredibly sweet and his hair looks dreadful.



This photo will never not be funny. Well, what do you say when a big lady in a scary dress gives you three identical trophies on a ready-made shelf? Roger looks like he's zoning out and Montserrat Callable looks ecstatic.



Executive Roger:



And finally, giant choco balls Roger:

three cups on a shelf! *dies* That is the insanest photograph I have seen I think possibly in my life. It is worthy of Martin Parr. Or David Lynch.

Ahahaa! If only Montserrat Caballe began talking backwards, it would've been perfect.

I bet she can, you know.

DUDE. Aren't you supposed to warn for that much direct eye-gazing pretty behind a cut? Because I may have stopped breathing there for a second. *sigh* So, so pretty. Also, you're right, that Barcelona locker room pose is rather interesting...

And that blue dress is rather scary. I don't blame Roger for pretending to be somewhere else. The locker room at Barcelona, for example.

that hair stroking is totally necessary FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FUCKING.

also i now hate your new layout since it is cutting off half rafa's face. i just had to make the effort to download the picture for full future viewings.

also oh god. i am so sickeningly in love with them. i spent, like, an hour earlier re-reading our gtalk transcript from the roland garros final and looking at all the pictures we posted links to. I AM THE COOLEST.

Rafafaaaaaa! Staring at me :O

I will never stop adoring Roger's RF logo merch though, even if brown is kind of a boring color for his jackets. That giant choco ball is all kinds of awesome though, mmmmmh Lindt chocolate is delicious and pricy augh

Cool, I'm glad your bag empire is taking off and getting rush orders. ^_____^

The photos make such a lovely playground when you toss imagination in there... and Rafa's pose in that locker room one does tend to lead one to imagine. *grin*

I want to smoosh executive roger and towel rafa together.
