Vacation Vixen: Tank Top & Thighs Tuesday

I feel like in honor of Kelley O’Hara and Rose Lavelle’s display, I should rename it Tank Top & Thighs Tuesday. You know, just a thought.

Tank Top Tuesday

And you thought I’d forgotten about tank tops. Never! No matter how much the darkness blots out the sun (nice eclipse you got there, shame if our idiot president were to stare directly into it…oh wait, he did?), I will never abandon the sight of beautiful women expressing their right to bare arms. So all of those without retinal damage because we believe in scientists and doctors when they tell us things, please enjoy.

Gal Gadot

I’m waiting to learn how to do the “Wonder Woman” workout. OK, fine, I’m waiting to learn how to do the first step of the “Wonder Woman” workout: Be born on an island of Amazon warriors completely devoid of men.

Danielle Brooks

Agree. And the best part of this season’s OITNB.

Katie McGrath

Ship who you want, when you want, whenever you want, SuperCorp friends.

Gillian Anderson

Vintage Gillian working on her fitness is *kisses fingertips*

Kelley O’Hara

This reminds me how much I enjoy the Women’s World Cup.

Tatiana Maslany

I miss the sestras so much.

My Weekend Crush

You guys, you guys – I know. But I just can’t help it. I am so in love with this team and this moment. Also, who knows if it’ll take another four years for America to pay this much attention to women’s sports again. So I’m going to drink in every single, delicious last drop of the U.S. Women’s National Team celebrating its World Cup win. At a ticker-tape parade in New York City. With Taylor Swift on stage. On Sports Center. Granted, that last one is just Megan Rapinoe being super excited about being gay. Hey, aren’t we all? Happy weekend, all.

Believe It, Baby

AMERICA! WOMEN! SPORTS! LESBIANS! WHOOOOO! Hot damn, that was something else. Like, really, something else. I won’t go into an extensive recap because if you cared you were watching. And if you don’t care, well, what is wrong with you? But, holy crap, that was pretty amazing. All I’ll say is I am very proud of this team and these athletes and women’s sports in general. Also, for gay ladies. But, you know, that goes without saying. And now, I’ll just let these glorious pictures of the United States Women’s National Team celebrating their World Cup win do all the talking. Well done, world. Congratulations, USA. Let’s do this all again in four years, eh?



p.s. Abby running over to kiss her wife Sarah in the stands after the game is now officially recognized in all 50 states.



p.p.s. The Eagle Fan, excuse me, SHEAGLE, was clearly the team’s secret weapon. Naturally, she plays for the LA Derby Dolls.

My Weekend Crush

Are you ready for some fooooootball? Damn, I enjoy watching women’s soccer. I particularly enjoy watching the Women’s World Cup because it’s got everything you could possibly want in good television. Action, comedy, drama, regret, determination, jubilation, anger, despair, elation and sometimes even a little blood. Fine, a lot of blood.

Given, as an American I’m particularly pleased with my home team. And it is Fourth of July Weekend. Finals on Sunday, baby. So in honor of the U.S. Women’s National Team’s accomplishments this World Cup, here is a tribute to everything that makes them great. OK, well perhaps not everything, but the things you lesbians care about the most. Happy weekend and go USA, all.

The Intensity:


Tobin Heath roars.


Carli Lloyd pumps.


Abby Wambach grits.


Yes, she’s problematic, but no one gives better bitch-get-away-from-my-goal face than Hope Solo.

The Hugs:


Baby Horse prances.


Meghan Klingenberg leaps.


Kelley O’Hara bounds.

Tobin’s bad lift.

The Hair Goals:

Or Abby?

The abs:

p.s. Just to get you extra pumped, here are Abby’s teammates impersonating her. USA! USA! USA!



p.p.s. Well done rest of the world, too, of course.
