As if having the "best-looking" tennis stars center court at Wimbledon for a more high-profile view for the males in the television audience wasn't enough, one tennis star is continuing the trend of ridiculous fashion endorsements.
Maria Sharapova is going to be wearing endorsing a new product for the US Open: Tiffany earrings.
Say what? I can understand a Nike or Adidas endorsement for tennis shoes and perhaps a cute little tennis skirt. But earrings? Has the hot tennis star sold her soul or is she just merely going the route that so many have gone before her? I am surprised that they are not having her wear a fashionable tennis bracelet to wear as well.
The earrings are designed by architect Frank Gehry and retail for a cool $850.00, which should be nothing for most tennis fans in this day and age. According to the LA Times fashion blog which is definitely worth a look-see, the earrings are shaped like a river or a "propelling tennis ball", which sounds exactly like what I would like to have on my ears.
Let's just hope that Maria doesn't grunt too loudly on the court and distract us from the beauty of her face, body, or ears.....
