Michelle Wie is my style icon.

goddam
― gff, Friday, 11 April 2008 03:29 (fifteen years ago) link
she looks like one a' them androids
― El Tomboto, Friday, 11 April 2008 03:37 (fifteen years ago) link
i bet she's craaaaaaaaazy.
― ian, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
She withdrew from Stanford last month to concentrate on golf.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:05 (fifteen years ago) link
She is intent on becoming a brand name. Her biggest obstacle is that she's only about average as an LPGA golfer and she's too young to pull the "OH NOES!! Nude photos!! Sex tape!!" ploy, yet. Her dad just wouldn't approve of that.
― Aimless, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:06 (fifteen years ago) link
So what? She's not on the LPGA tour. She's already made $10 in endorsements so she doesn't really have to work.
Why the hate?
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:08 (fifteen years ago) link
lol $10 million. With compound interest she's set for life.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:09 (fifteen years ago) link
shes injury prone thats what i heard
― jhøshea, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah she hurt her hand as pro athletes sometimes do.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Plus, could kick your ass.
Not so much that she could, but that she totally would. Just give her a reason.
― en i see kay, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Totally.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:14 (fifteen years ago) link
That was hate? Excuse me. Not intended as such.
I should think the $10 million in endorsements would pretty much substantiate the truth of my first statement. Her record as a golfer pretty much substantiates the second. As for the third, Anna Kournekova has proved that such a course does work.
― Aimless, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:18 (fifteen years ago) link
That is like saying someone is "intent" on becoming a winning trial lawyer for doing what is normal in their line of work.
What were you referring to as the "obstacle" and what is it an obstacle to?
Wie is hardly similar to AK as an athlete or as a sex object.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:23 (fifteen years ago) link
nu-tracy austin?
― mookieproof, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:25 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think she's nu-anychick. Supposedly her mentor is Ernie Els, they call her the Big Wiesey for her drives.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 04:27 (fifteen years ago) link
i think a difference wrt tennis is that you don't get knocked out of golf tournaments, right? per wikipedia, Arnold Palmer stated in 2003 that "she's probably going to influence the golfing scene as much as Tiger, or more. She's going to attract people that even Tiger didn't attract, young people, both boys and girls, and families."
i think she is pretty and i like golfy style.
She's already made $10 in endorsements so she doesn't really have to work.
i lol'd. i wonder how she feels about the nintendo wii.

unless you're a non-lpga member who shoots 88 -- then you might have to withdraw to avoid being banned for a year

anyone who wears knee length jeans can NOT be a style icon.
― stevienixed, Friday, 11 April 2008 17:49 (fifteen years ago) link
rong
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Right now, she's a better ambassador for the game or whatever than she is a golfer, but that could change. She's still ridiculously young.
― Alex in SF, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:10 (fifteen years ago) link
dude, i'm so right on this. she can sort of deflect the rongness of it cause she has sticks for legs.
― stevienixed, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I have pulled in knee length jeans before
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
that does not a style icon make.
― tehresa, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:15 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm just saying that knee-jeans are not 100% wrong
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:15 (fifteen years ago) link
depends who you pulled in them! lol
― tehresa, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:18 (fifteen years ago) link
what the fuck
― El Tomboto, Friday, 11 April 2008 18:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Our former upstairs neighbor
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 April 2008 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
She is 6'1" those are probably normal length jeans.

Don't make fun of my style icons. I don't make fun of you for being douchebags.
Oh wait. . .
You can make fun of my style icons.
― felicity, Friday, 11 April 2008 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
I'll make fun of you.
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
that'll show her.
― tehresa, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link
you never her
― mookieproof, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link
she's 6'1"?? again, goddam
― gff, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
me and her have the same bmi
― brownie, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
She actually makes closer to 20 million A YEAR in endorsements. She should be okay.
― Super Cub, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
I've never seen an ad with her in it -- all her endorsements must be for gear or targeted at golf and/or rich-people mags.
― Rock Hardy, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
If she'd ever done an Arby's commercial or an ad for Ban Roll-On in Newsweek I'm sure I would have noticed.
― Rock Hardy, Friday, 11 April 2008 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
I assume that 90% of successful professional golfers, because they're so wildly rich, vote Republican. If Wie falls into that category, hopefully she's permanently fallen out. (If you're interested in details, it will take you about three seconds to search.)
― clemenza, Monday, 22 February 2021 21:48 (three years ago) link
oh, do democrats never say things like that?
― superdeep borehole (harbl), Monday, 22 February 2021 21:57 (three years ago) link
Sure. This one thing directed at her, no.

Clinton, Obama and Biden all golfers IIRC. I’m sure two out of three aren’t sex creeps* though.

I don't know why you'd assume 90% of LPGA players are Republicans

Just gonna observe that the first few dozen posts in this thread are collectively much grosser than what Giuliani said
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 22 February 2021 22:33 (three years ago) link
(xpost) Because they're ultra-rich. Joe Posnanski recently wrote something similar about baseball posters, another historically conservative sport.
I should have just posted a link and left it at that. I find with stories like this, if you don't post in exactly the right way, your post becomes the issue, not the story.
― clemenza, Monday, 22 February 2021 22:49 (three years ago) link
"baseball players"--some of them post, too, I think.
― clemenza, Monday, 22 February 2021 22:50 (three years ago) link
to be clear my above post was an ill considered attempt at humor because I think golf is fucking stupid
― akm, Monday, 22 February 2021 22:51 (three years ago) link
90% of LPGA players
That's a valid point--what I said applies more to the PGA.
