Sugarbabe

Important news for fans of sweet things and Maria Sharapova (but I repeat myself). The lovely Miss S has put her name to a new range of confectionery: Sugarpova! (As if she wasn’t sweet enough already, aha). There are tennis ball gumballs, gummy dress shoes, even jelly lips (ohhhh)! I might have to hunt some of these latter items down and, well, kiss them while dreaming of Maria.


Disregard the nagging tone of the article linked to above, btw. “Surrounded by gummy fish and tennis gumballs, Maria Sharapova isn’t apologizing.” Damn right she isn’t! More of a worry is that the CEO of the company that will make Maria’s sweets appears to be a self-loathing dimwit in the mould of Gerald Ratner. Quoth he, on launch day, that “Candy might not be healthy, but the industry sure is.” Gah!

Personally, I can think of few things I would want to do more than eat gummy bears off Maria’s bare tummy. Then eat her all up.

  2. I dunno - I think that CEO deserves a right royal shellacking for using a celeb with NO body fat as their icon to sell sugar-laced candy...

  3. I have to agree with RedRump here, and Maria could also use a good spanking for agreeing to advertise a product she clearly doesn't use.

  4. Page 3 of today's Daily telegraph has Miss sarapova in a red evening dress which may have you all aflutter.

  5. Thanks for the tipoff, Harry! I will have to look online for it - I don't buy newspapers.

    Harry reads the Telegraph... that's tickled me rather! I think because I can picture you in school shorts and a cap, catapult poking out of the breast pocket on your blazer. Very Just William!

  6. RR: I'd eat Maria's sweet stuff anytime. Fnar.

    Aunty: you can spank Maria as long as I can dress up as Veruca Salt and scoff lots of yummy gummies from her shop. No way would I end up getting a spanking that day! :D

  7. Hey, athletes can pretty much eat whatever the want, with the calories they burn...no evidence she doesn't eat sweets!

    ...if someone proves me wrong via an interview or something I will be embarrassed. And probably submit to some sort of punishment.

  8. She's smiling in the photo, but I still think she'd be very strict with you Penelope, when she caught your hand in the candy jar!

    Mmmmmm....Yummy!

  9. Yummy indeed! I can think of few things funner than eating lotsa sweeties then being told off for it by a thoroughly cross Maria and spanked silly.
