I'll take the word appreciation literally......
If we are talking women I admire, here is probably the one I admire the most:
Irene.jpg
Irene van Dyk. She is probably the greatest Netball Goal Shooter of all time. She is 40 years old, 190cm tall and still basically the best. And a wonderful lady to boot. I talked to her for 10 minutes or so in Singapore last year in our Hotel foyer. Great lady. Her record:
72 Test matches for South Africa, debuting in 1994, including a Silver medal at the 1995 World Championships.
Over 126 Tests for NZ including Gold + 2 x Silver World Champs and 2 x Gold + a Silver at Commonwealth Games.
You may not know or follow the game, but to have a person survive this long in an injury prone sport, to never have an injury and to dominate for so long, she is almost without peer. Basically the Michael Jordan of Netball.
The one i'd like most to sit down and have a drink and a yarn with:
Alecia Moore. Otherwise known as P!nk. I reckon she'd be great company!

Women that I like to look at, here is one:
Yvonne-Strahovski-Sobe-Body-Paint.jpg
This is a good Aussie Girl, Yvonne Strahovski posing for a US advertisement wearing only paint. You might recognise her as Sarah Walker from the TV series Chuck.
And another, Brooklyn Decker - Sports illustrated model and wife of Andy Roddick. I like her as she looks great, but she's not your typical anorexic looking skinny model. Plus she does well in movies: Just Go With It, What to Expect when You're Expecting and Battleship.
