The Game On Fashion

Fashion and sports will seem to emerge this spring season of 2012. Browsing on Style.Com, I've read a page wherein the fashion trend report for the year is being forecast. One of the said trends is the Game On. Well, this trend is about the combo of style and sports (some with embroidery digitizing design on them). According to Style.com; sport emerged as one of this season’s biggest themes in New York, with parachute strap dresses at Altuzarra and sleek track pants from the boys at Rag & Bone. Alexander Wang’s mesh bombers, floral hoodies, and stadium map sweaters may look ready for the playing field, but we guarantee you’ll be seeing them on the street-style highlight reel come spring. Now, let's take a look at some of them:

Tebowing: A Craze or a Contempt

Ever heard of Tim Tebow?

Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow is an American football player who is currently the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He was homeschooled by his mother and his father is a pastor. No wonder that he is very vocal on his faith as well as he really didn't compromise his beliefs. He is famous for the new pose craze nowadays called tebowing. Planking, tea potting, owling, batting, and horsemanning were so over and the new is tebowing craze since people have noticed Tim Tebow kneeling and praying before and after the game. "Tebowing" is a neologism derived from Tebow's propensity for kneeling and praying. The origin of the phrase is credited to fan Jared Kleinstein, who posted a picture with friends on Facebook, in which they mimic a pose by Tebow that was caught on camera following the Broncos' improbable overtime victory over the Dolphins on October 23, 2011. The popularity of the picture led Kleinstein to set up a website showing pictures submitted by people depicting various interpretations of "Tebowing" all over the world. In December 2011, the life-sized wall adhesions company Fathead released a "tebowing" sticker which generated $50,000 in revenue in two days. Whoa!

Tebowing

Personally speaking, I'm proud of Tim Tebow. Unlike the other so called Christian, he amidst the sea of faces of people have all the guts to show and proudly say that he is a Christian. His kneeling and praying is just an addition to his being a good athlete and a person. He is still active on missions. He even has a Tim Tebow foundation, eh. His official website has also a verse from the Bible; John 3:16; an evangelical verse.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

As for his critics, hmmm they have the freedom anyway to criticize him. However my only appeal is that there are a lot of athletes that are more worthy to be criticized for a bad action taken, yet the irony is they are focusing on Tim Tebow who is just practicing his belief and this person is actually not doing them any harm. Such an irony, eh.

P.S. Taking aside this Tim Tebow issue, I've read today that the United Kingdom Anti-Doping Association warned athletes to avoid foods that will make an athlete test positive on a drug screening. Would you believe that the top of that list is liver? Liver is said to increase the risk of an athlete testing positive for anabolic agent clenbuterol. Oh, don’t know what is the meaning of this but I’d rather ask my friend nurse in scrub uniforms about this.

Liver Sandwich

The Food Standard Agency, a British government agency (either in scrub uniforms or not) similar to the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S., advised athletes against eating liver.

The FSA cannot rule out the possibility that if a large portion of liver is consumed containing clenbuterol at permitted residue limits, urine collected shortly after consumption may contain detectable levels of clenbuterol. This depends on many factors including the amount consumed, the timing of the urine test and the analytical methods used.

For more info about this, kindly ask your medical practitioner wearing scrub uniforms and lab coats about the foods that may cause clenbuterol.

On Tennis' Wardrobe Malfunction and Rafa's Win

Here are some of the news I've gathered about the tennis world lately:

The bad news: 

Venus Williams experienced a wardrobe malfunction during a good-natured exhibition match against Italian tennis player Flavia Pennetta in Milan. The left strap on one of Venus' self-designed eleVen dresses with an embroidery digitizing logo on the upper right side of it, snapped during the match, almost exposing some extra skin to the assembled crowd. But Venus managed to cover up this problem, eh.

The good news:

My favorite tennis player, Rafa wearing his sportswear with his favorite brand embroidery digitizing logo won against Juan Monaco. He had given a great performance here. Take a look:

So, that's all for this week; haha. cause next week will be a different week and of course different update too. :)

The President's Shoes, The Athlete's Shoes and More Shoes

President Obama was well known as a Chicago Bulls fan, yet this photo of the shoes his carrying tells otherwise.  Notice the athletic red shoes his carrying.

Now, take a look at this photo of the point guard Brandon Jennings of Milwaukee Bucks:

Isn't it similar? Is there something political here? Or Obama just changed his mind on his favorite basketball team that he also changed his athletic shoes?

And talking about shoes, I found nursing shoes and scrubs pants adorable nowadays! haha. A friend of mine was telling me about these cool nursing shoes and I can't stop to look at them, eh. Weird. So, if you are a nurse with scrub tops and scrubs pants, maybe you will be interested with these shoes. Take a look:

Steve Nash: From Athlete to Model

Stephen John "Steve" Nash, the South African-born Canadian professional basketball player who plays point guard for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA) has developed his own clothing line called The Steve Nash Collection. Funny, for I seldom see him wearing coat and tie, yet his clothing line apparels are made up of ties, cufflinks and other formal menswear. Eric Freeman  even says that "The Steve Nash Collection should be a thin T-shirt, cargo shorts, and Toms shoes." Ironically, it is the opposite.haha.

Check out his photos here:

Looks like his not the Steve Nash that we've known for years. He even looks like Pete Campbell of Mad Men. Take a look:

Anyway, Steve Nash Collection apparel gives me an idea that I can also give my brothers three suit wear as a gift this Thanksgiving Day, instead of giving them imitation  or custom digitizing designs of NBA jerseys. ;)
