There is moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being no redeeming value. Well, we at SheWired have made an executive decision to just throw any of our pseudo-feminist caution to the wind and to just post our fave shot of the day, whether it be sexy, salacious, or just because. Today we offer Diana Taurasi naked on the cover of ESPN mag's Body Issue!
As a former Connecticut resident familiar with UConn Women’s Basketball, I can say that this is not the Diana Taurasi I remember.
This is more like the Taurasi I remember!
Despite the teased-out hair and the distracting lack of clothing on the ESPN cover, those buff shoulders are unmistakable. And thanks for showins us your ink Diana!
Combatting possible attacks for the sexy, decidely atypical and non-sporty --unless we are talking about yoga -- nudie shot, Diana says, “I am who I am — whether I have clothes on or off.”
