This is true. Each of you can prove it to yourselves..
get the video or DVD of this year's National, specials class only...and
watch bitches. Slow down the ones you think you like...there is ONE with
spectacular sidegait, including a period of suspension you can't miss if
your eyes work.
One. I have seen her in person, from all angles...and she has the gait
we should all be striving for. Unfortunately she's not a runner...but if
watching her doesn't please you, then go back to school.
