Vogue’s “Model Challenge” Takes On BMX

What would you say to a beautiful woman randomly calling you to challenge you at your sport?  Well first of all, I would be curious as to why they are calling me.  It must be some sort of trick my friends are playing.  That’s why I would request to see this so-called “model’s” Myspace page to see if she really is who she says she is.  And there better be a variety of photographs.  Not just a bunch of 3-quarter shots either.  If everything panned out, I would automatically change my sport from say, Rollerblading to wresting.  Or maybe some type of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  And possibly mud wrestling.  I’d say, “Sorry lady, you wanted to challenge me to my sport?  This is how I make a living”. 

It seems that Vogue’s Style Network, an online source for all your fashion needs (I’ll be looking up Shaun White’s style page after this) created an web based show where the very premise is to have hot models challenge athletes in their very own sport (what a groundbreaking idea).  But who knows, in the very first webisode, a skateboarding supermodel beat a BMX messenger in a race around NYC.  I wonder if that model was named RYAN SHECKLER.

But I’m sure these are all made with great fun and even greater intentions.  To fuse the complex worlds of fashion and sports where they can unify as one.  The STYLE Network.
