Image is Everything: Oh, Bangkok. What a Difference a Year Makes
Posted by gauloises1 on September 30, 2009
I mean, the Thailand Open, Thai boxing, I get it, it probably has to be done. And yeah, they probably couldn’t use Jo-Willy twice in two years. But to go from this …

To this, in the space of just twelve months …
You get where I’m going with this.
I mean, kudos for getting Gilles in there.
But the others …
Nobody wants to see this.
Nobody.
See how they all look better with their shirts on? There’s a reason for that.
(Also, I love how Gilles is the only one not doing the hands-in-lap shielding. Bet you there’s a reason for that, too.)
New Balls, Please

I love Gilles’ face in the 1st photo when he’s striking a fierce pose … he’s totally into it.
He’s also totally scrawny. (Yeah, I know, tell me something you don’t know.)
Poor Babyface Isner … he’s got a babybody, too. Squishy.

He weighs too much to ever win a Slam, according to someone who quoted someone else on my commentary for a match I can’t remember in a place I’m not sure I’ve been.
But it’s true.

We might have to do an operation involving suctioning off Isner’s baby-belly baby fat and shooting it into Gilles’ body (arms/legs, preferably.)
Someone get on this.

Good to know that Isner is the kind of bloke who keeps his socks on.
God, I am so turned on right now.
Saoirse said
And what’s that on Gilles’ t-shirt? ‘Cool something always make me smile’?
Surely he ain’t referring to the company…

Anything after Jo was going to be fail. But Gilles is somehow charming in these photos. He’s totally owning his chicken legs and ridiculous skinnyness.

Isner and Ginepri are a joke in those pictures very funny. Gilles skinny or not is cute, however, the boxing profile is not for him, it certainly suited JOWi better.

So, Robby hasn’t aged well AT ALL. I used to have a crush on him, but now he’s just super icky. If you’re not going to be attractive OR good at tennis it’s time to go away.
Johny: I’m STARTING to get over the USOpen. SLOWLY. But the socks aren’t helping. The adorableness is though.
Gilles is just hysterical and super tiny. How does he have enough strength to hit the ball?!?!
Gosh, all these pictures are just GOLD. Thank you for finding and sharing Gaul.
