wow. she'll run naked through the streets if Paraguay wins it all? like woah.

I was pulling for Japan in their recent match against Paraguay, and I like Ghana and Netherlands, as well. But unless the Netherlands pull, what I consider to be a fairly big upset and beat Brazil, it will be an Argentina/Brazil final match for the biggest & bestest bragging rights ever. But nevermind them bollocks for now. Perhaps it might actually be best if Paraguay wins it all (though they have almost no chance of beating Argentina, even if they beat Spain this Saturday). Check this out. And don't you just love where she keeps her cell phone?!-sj


















Paraguay's success at the World Cup continued on Tuesday, with the country's soccer team beating Japan on penalty kicks to advance to the tournament's quarterfinals. Now, with only eight teams remaining, the Paraguayans may have a few more fans to help win it all.

Larissa Riquelme, a curvy lingerie model who loves her national team, has been cheering the Paraguay squad on from Asuncion, clad in revealing outfits. The 24-year-old beauty has pledged to run naked through the streets "with my body painted with the colors of Paraguay" if Paraguay wins the World Cup.

The gorgeous football fanatic is not the first person to promise to streak in the event of a World Cup win. Argentina's coach Diego Maradona was the first prominent person to issue such a guarantee, and his team has also made the quarterfinals.

um...can anyone tell me the teams facing off in today's lingerie bowl?

So here are the results of two polls, in which I asked people how much they would hypothetically (duh!) pay to spend the night with Orlando Bloom (great-looking dude; very cool; actor) or Miranda Kerr (gorgeous super-model, also very cool). They've been dating for at least a year and there are many rumors they'll soon be getting married.

The multiple choice answers for each were: $500, $1000, $2500 and $5000. Here's the breakdown on each:

Orlando Bloom: 6 responses. 50% would pay $2500 or more to spend the night with him. The other 50% $1000 or less. 2 would pay $5000.

Miranda Kerr drew a little more excitement: 11 responses. 8 people (72%) would gladly pay $5000 to spend the night with her; 3 more, $2500. 90% of respondents would pay $2500 or more for one night with her. Only one of the people who responded deemed this hypothetical event only worth $1000.

Now here's something funny: I had two males ask me why there wasn't a $10,000 choice! They "surely would've picked that one," they both said! I told them we're in a recession, times are very tough, and I selected the choices based on what I thought would be realistic. Fun(ny) stuff.

my very cheesy 2009 calendar arrived...but it's still awesome!

Orlando & Miranda

So, they've been dating a while now, and there are rumors they're engaged. Quite the good looking couple, no? Thought I'd throw a "what if?"/fantasy-world poll out there for both of them. See sidebar on left for pic of each and poll question...
