No, Marketa. Yes, it's a Cinderella story, but you don't have to make a ball gown out of trash bags and borrow your brother's shoes. Unacceptable.

If only! I'd take a sexless floral drop waist over this unfinished fashion school project. The designer is - not kidding - Dress 2 Party. It looks a little better when it's not hiked up to show white Dad sneakers. https://www.dress2party.net/collections ... ogen-black

Djokovic says. ' i haven’t played a player like him ever, to be honest. Roger and Rafa have their own strengths and weaknesses. Carlos is very complete player. Amazing adapting capabilities that I think are a key for longevity and for successful career on all surfaces.”

It's the adapting part that has wowed the tennis world.

They don't miss a beat do they?
they had it ready. :) I don't understand the stylized E and D.
It's code for Erectile Dysfunction. Nike is taking their "just do it" campaign a step further by jumping into the booming "stay hard longer" market.

Please, please, tell me that you are joking.
Because if they are using a man that still has juvenile acne as an image for ED, what's left for us non-functional fogies? :cry:

Yes, of course. The differently fonted E and D is a very strange design choice, looks more like a mistake. I also wouldn't put it past advertisers to use a young man as representative of what their ED drug can do for you.

For some reason the font used for the "e" and "d" is very popular lately. I have no idea why.

In Mirra's case it was a second offense. She had been warned previously for bouncing/throwing the racket on the court.

At a minimum, I say this should merit a review of their fines' structure and methods.
