But what would we do without them ?
At the moment, Skiing is the dominant sport on TV and Bob and I love watching the different disciplines. When you live in the southern hemisphere, you don't see any of it ( usually cricket and rugby, with soccer interspersed are the sport to watch there ), but believe me, it is a world class professional sport.
All the skiers are fit, with their bodies trained to professional athletic perfection. Well, when the skiers are at the starting gate, the camera usually shows a shot of them, from behind. Now, you have got to realize that they are usually only dressed in what can be described as a " Cat-suit ". Wind resistance and speed are the most vital things to achieve.
These ladies start each race in a semi-squat position and the camera loves showing them from behind. Look, it is not the most flattering angle and notoriously the camera is known to add a few pounds. So one of our friends from S.A. was watching this and was totally transfixed. The view of these scantily clad ladies skiing downhill in the snow, at speeds of about 100 kilometers per hour, was mind-boggling to him !
Now, as he stood there watching this, Bob and he had this little exchange : " Alan, isn't it amazing how cool these girls look...great gear !" " Gee, I could get used to watching this. Ladies doing a sport in skin tight outfits..." So far so good, but..." Alan, look when they start, don't you think that they have a huge backside ? " " Ja, now that you mention it."
Cheeky So & So's ! Anyone squatting and being filmed from behind, might not look so slim. But these girls are trained through and through. How must we mere " homebodies " feel. Next time I ask Bob " Schatzi, does this make my bum look big ", I won't believe his standard reply of, " Of course not "!
