\"back\"<\/a>Any one noticed Maria Sharapova\u2019s hideous outfit at the 2009 Open \u2013 like my bed quilt, and it has an tail at the back, plus her head band too that Brad Gilbert called it discoy. The Nike dress is very Gypsy.<\/p>\n

Poor Tsevtana Pironkova of Bulgaria is being disabled on the center court by the Gypsy although she looks able, just couldn’t do a thing to Maria.<\/p>\n

Not sure why Madonna would want to get into human right business. She got booed in Bucharest for defending Gypsies<\/a>.
\nAnyone traveled to Europe would have either encountered them or had seen them. One year in Paris subway, as I was making my way up the narrow stairs, I suddenly felt the handbag on my shoulder became light. I looked to my right and saw this dirty-faced little girl. She ran toward downstairs like a rabbit.
\nMy purse\u2019s zipper was opened.
\nHa.
\nMy wallet was stolen.
\nA couple I befriended during my trip to Budapest was with me. The wife was a tough cookie. She chased the girl immediately and caught her by the train track.
\n\"front\"<\/a>The wife demanded my wallet.
\nThe little girl looked up at her with her two palms up.
\nSince our French wasn\u2019t really functioning, so she pushed the girl for the wallet.
\nThe station was deserted during the late morning. There was another girl who\u2019s bit older, like 8 or 9 stood across the platform.
\n\u201cThey must be together.\u201d The husband suggested.
\n\u201cGive me the wallet.\u201d The wife asked for the last time and began to body search. When that failed, she slapped the girl. Then she saw the girl\u2019s right arm was not moving to rebuff her.
\nShe forced the girl to lift her right arm .. .. found my wallet.
\nThat wasn\u2019t the end of her detective work.
\nThere was a lone Japanese man in suit, pacing the platform. He too lost something – pocketbook with his business contacts.
\n\u201cNot your wallet?\u201d
\n\u201cNo .. \u201c He didn\u2019t even know who to get to his next meeting without it.
\n\u201cNo money in it?\u201d
\n\u201cNo money.\u201d
\nThe Mrs. Detective pointed to the garbage can.
\n\u201cCheck the can.\u201d
\nYup, it was discarded there.
\nWhile we struggled, the innocent husband went to the street and hailed a police.
\nSo the four of us spent another two hours in the Paris\u2019s police station.
\nHow romantic.
\nMan is from Mars. They\u2019re clueless.
\nAnother time Golfer and I just arrived at Venice. As soon as we got off the taxi, a little Gypsy stole his wallet from his pocket.
\nA tall Italian guy came over, padded his shoulder, and pointed to his pocket.
\n\u201cWhere is my wallet?\u201d Golfer asked.
\nMr. Tall pointed to a girl who\u2019s running away.
\nPerhaps he sensed we were completed FOBs and disoriented, he ran after the girl and was able to retrieve the wallet.
\nGuess what Golfer said aside from thanking the hero?
\n\u201cShe gave back to him probably saw those Amex travelers checks.\u201d
\nHellooooo .. Mr. !!
\nNo, Mr. Tall forcefully grabbed it from her.
\n… Further prove man is from Mars… I’m resting my case here.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Ms. Gypsy took the match at 6:3 and 6:0. During the after match interview with Pat Shriver she said her dress is inspired by Frank Gehry, the Canadian architect, complete with Tiffany earrings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
