Anna Kournikova visits Tijuana

Published by El Gigante at 5:20 pm under Random News

Anna Kournikova is not only gorgeous but also happens to be the ambassador of the Boys & Girls Club of America. As a result, she came down to Tijuana today for the grand opening of the very first BGCA in all of Mexico.

I was able to make a trek down to TJ and get in to the event. More than anything I really just wanted to be up close with Ms. K, but it turns out that the Mexican paparazzi had the same idea. There will be hundreds of pics and vids all over the press first thing tomorrow, but you can get a sneak peek at them now.

Keep in mind I am by no means a pro photographer nor do I possess professional camera equipment. I am also not a member of the press. Fortunately I was about a foot taller than everyone else at the event. So enjoy these shots until something better comes along.

Bottom line, on top of being absolutely beautiful, Anna Kournikova was an awesome guest. She stayed for the entire event, handled the press, interacted with the children and fulfilled all the duties of her role as ambassador of the BGCA. It was quite a treat.

UPDATE: Here is a photo gallery from one of the local newspapers.

    I went to the Acura Classic back in ‘96 or ‘97, I think, to perv out on Martina Hingis. Unfortunately, she dispatched of Anka Huber by like 6 - 0, 6 - 1 or something, so it was short-lived. Afterwards was some doubles, including Miss K who at the time couldn’t have been more than 15.

    She was frikkin’ hot.

    I realize that last post made me look perv-y. I’d like to point out that this is indeed the case.
