Almost famous tennis pro Ashley Harkleroad naked in Playboy
It’s one of the greatest mysteries of this still young century, how the Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohans of the world can’t be bothered to put on panties walking down the street; yet at the same time it’s getting increasingly difficult for Hugh Hefner to pay someone even remotely famous to take them off for Playboy.
Case in point: Ashley Harkleroad, an obscure tennis player who’s neither especially successful or especially attractive. Harkleroad, the 61 ranked woman in the world, most recently lost in the first round of the French Open, then announced she had posed naked for the August edition of Playboy. Here she explains why:
“I thought, ‘well I’m not really doing anything,’ so I considered it and it was something that I wanted to do…”
Clearly that expression “don’t quit your day job” doesn’t apply to Harkleroad. A blind kid in a wheelchair could lose in the first round of the French Open, that shit doesn’t take skill. I guess we’ll have to wait until August to find out if she’s any better in her second career.
