She looks and dresses surprisingly like my aunt (who used to live in the Midlands but just moved to Cornwall). I don’t get her fashion sense either, but it can be delicately named “schoolmarm”. ---

Huh. Regardless of her dress, I find Karen Corr to be pretty _un_attractive. Very butch, like JuanitaTech stated. Jeanette Lee, on the other hand–ROWRR!! ---

Hmmm…I don’t get the “very attractive” either, and I’ll have to take your word on the shapely body and nice rack since you can’t see either in the frumpy clothes she’s got on (which is maybe the point). Different strokes, I guess. I agree that she is probably wearing what is comfortable to play in, and probably doesn’t care about how it looks. Oh, and the word “athlete” being used to describe a billiards player struck me as funny. Kind of like Randy Quaid’s character saying what an honor it was to be among all the great athletes at the bowling tournament in “Kingpin”. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by astro \* > If a handsome, athletic male championship racecar driver or basketball player dressed like a colorblind, Kmart refugee (and I’m sure some do) I would be similarly disappointed at their inability to make the most of what God gave them. Well, maybe she IS colorblind, which might account for some of what you perceive to be offensivenss. Because, while I’d agree the style is “frumpy” or “schoolmarmish”, it doesn’t irritate me to the extent it does some of the other posters. ---

I don’t know a thing about her but perhaps she is just more interested in accomplishing her own goals in the same manner as other notables with little regard to appearance and no need to compete with those who deem it important…Bill Gates and Albert Einstein come to mind (okay, not contemporary athletes, but can you get my drift?). Seems really liberating to me not to be the least bit concerned with whether you measure up fashion-wise to the entire rest of the world. Getting hung up on that would be a major bummer. ---

So the debate boils down to this: polyester print blouses (that is so very, very **not** silk) on professional atheletes, yay or nay? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-ve-got-a-cute-face-shapely-body-and-a-beautiful-rack-why-can-t-you-dress-better/130483.md?page=1)
