Looks fresh.
Muy Animaux.

Let’s plan another champagne event so we can use the intoxication as a moment of inspiration to break open a Bic Ballpoint and a safety pin. Just like HomeBoys!

Who’s game?  Take that to InterBike!

All over the world Freddies congregate at a SongBird’s Nest.

Fair is Fair.  Since UmbrellaGirlsUSA.com claims to be The Best Motor Sport Girls in the Universe let’s give equal attention to the competition.  Take a break from InterBike 2011 and navigate to The Paddock Girls [MotoGP Girls].

Animaux muy frescas.

There was the requisite Calendar GrrRrRrrrl booth at InterBike [actually it was just a table].

I’m pleased to present our new girlFriend Miss May of  UmbrellaGirlsUSA.com ["The Best Motor Sport Girls in the Universe"].

Mr. Picarelli asked Ms.May how many times a week she works out: “Ohhhhh .. .once a week.”

I related a story to her about a “fitness” article I had read in Vogue magazine featuring my all time favorite supermodel Paulina Porizkova.  I told her the piece started “…if Paulina exercised, this is what she would do …“   “If” she exercised.  Now that was a hilarious opening line for an article about fitness.

Ms.May didn’t get it.  I told Frank I was sorry for being old & ridiculous; the Vogue article about Paulina was written before Ms.May was born.

She signed her calendar picture for me anyway; because I’m Animaux!

one of the great things about interbike is running into people you haven’t seen for years.  nelson vails was a silver medalist [individual sprint] on the track in the ’84 los angeles olympics.  the last time i saw nelson was sometime in the late 80′s when those guys were running around southern california basking in the glory of their hard earned & well deserved celebrity {and he doesn’t look one day older – but i still have more hair than he does}.
