im quite disapointed that VP's pictures dont have amazing planet crushing thighs in them. her legs are far more normal than i expected. this is a shame: a) shes a world champion bike rider and im a bike geek b) there are lots of women with normal legs c) if theyre airbrushed it means shes not comfortable with having muscle bound legs. this is under the asumption its airbrushed, which i can only expect from FHM.
gender politics are complictaed, but i think we should all really just get over it. regardless of gender we are all just people, and i think there are many things that make us individual outside of our physicality. we should all do what we want and feel makes us happy, its the fools that do what they feel they should. VP got paid and did these photos, as well as other previous terrible shoots out of her own choice. if you do photos for FHM, of all magazines, what are you expecting to get from it. she obviously wants blokes to find her attractive.
im not adverse to pictures of women, but then again i happen to find find women attractive. ive always quite fancied VP from my television, shes an amazing track racer (which i highly respect) and of the type of woman i tend to find attractive. but then its all ruined when i see her in interviews and hear her talk, where i think shes a bit of an idiot.
