Apparently this story has been brewing for quite some time.
I didn't notice as I am not much of a tennis fan, I'm not even sure where you watch tennis these days if you are a fan.
Over in Spain at the Madrid Masters they are using Hugo Boss models as ballgirls. So of course there have been protests, mostly from the press, by people saying it just ain't right.
How does one say "it just ain't right" in Espanol?
But the best stuff comes from Soledad Murillo, Spain's Secretary for Equality, who has said that employing the 19- to 28-year-old models instead of volunteer young tennis fans to pick up stray balls and hand towels to players was sexist and unsporting, she said.
Aw golly.
I'll tell you one thing - I am recalling Shallow Hal when Hal meets Anthony Robbins who is talking about people being programmed with a notion of what is and what is not physical beauty.
Looking at that second picture above kinda drills that home, don't it? Ain't nearly a lick of difference between those four gals.
