Don’t tread on us, boys…

Somehow I doubt this was exactly what the editor had in mind when he sent a shooter out to the race track with a Grand Prix coming up. I bet he expected some shiny race cars, maybe well-known drivers chatting with the models..

Instead, we guessed that the ultimate male fantasy is wandering around piles of big old dirty tires and stumbling upon models in sexy red dresses and tennis shoes. You know, it sounds better when you say it than it looks in the photos.

“Hey, ladies, you come here often? Think it’s gonna be a Goodyear? Yeah, I got a million lines like that, ladies.”

I guess we’re just really lucky we didn’t find them hanging around a big old pile of rusted carburetors and mufflers and oily rags and stuff.

I think all women should wear tennis shoes or Crocs, all the time. It’s idiotic to suffer just so your legs look “sexy.” Women unite against heel oppression! Who’s with me?!

All they need now is some blue garters to complete the look and they are the ultimate patriotic fantasy =)

Dee, that’s a wonderful idea! We should replace eyeglasses with goggles, so they don’t fall off. Maybe shave our heads so we never have to worry about washing it again. We can even stop shaving to save those few minutes inthe shower! Men will be falling all over us for our thriftiness!

I’m with you, Dee! In fact, we should all stop shaving and throw out our makeup! Because wearing Crocs all the time will keep us away from a HUGE hassle: the possibility of ever having children.
