US Open - Venus Williams

Picasso once said good taste is the enemy of creativity.  The Williams sisters got to be the most awesome creative tennis players in the history of tennis.

With Serena not playing this US Open, and mind you, all the line judges are breathing a collective sigh of relief, knowing nobody would shove down tennis balls down their throats, Roddick is such a pussy so he doesn't count, Venus single-handedly shoulders the responsibility of wearing the most woefully designed outfits to shock and awe tennis fans world wide.  And I have to say she has succeeded spectacularly.  As if her play is not firework enough on the court, she literally put firework on her little tiny bitsy black dress which is sequined with firework motif.  And of course she won the match against French woman Mandy Manella.  She is such a tennis royalty and whatever, everybody, of course including that Pam Shriver, is complimenting her outfit. I feel like it's some kind of Emperor's new clothes moments whenever somebody complimenting their outfits.   Serena is not playing this tournament but she still will not leave us in peace, she has to come fully and spectacularly dressed to haunt us all ... Scary, isn't it?

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
