THE DIME PIECE: Lindsey Vonn

So I am sitting here watching the women’s super-g for the 2010 Winter Olympics and I get a source of inspiration for our next Dime Piece article - Lindsey Vonn.
If you think we’re simply jumping on the Lindsey Vonn bandwagon or we’re taking advantage of all the Olympic hype, you’re right. But that doesn’t negate the fact that Linsdey Vonn is a great candidate.
The cover that caused a lot of press. It's tough being a beautiful athlete these days.
Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Lindsay Vonn has been skiing since the age of 2 and is also the first American woman to win back-to-back World Cup Championships in 2008 and 2009. As of this evening, she has won the gold in ladies’ downhill and a bronze in ladies’ super-g.
All-in-all she’s a great reason to watch the Winter Olympics. Who cares about curling when you’ve got someone this hot going really fast in spandex?
For more information about Lindsey Vonn, please check out her Wikipedia entry.
To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
