Is it lame to wear a tennis skirt and not be a tennis player? The answer is clearly yes- posers are losers. I have always loved the all white “tennis look” which suggests a day of leisure and lemonade. When my friends can’t workout with me because they have a tennis clinic, I get a little jealous. They get to wear those cute tennis skirts and run up and down the court. Actually, the latter doesn’t knock my pom pom socks off. I took lessons as a kid. I was fine. Actually, I had many lessons as a kid and did not excel at anything enough that it became my passion. I could only play piano with one hand, the two hand skill stumped me. I fell at my dance recital even after private tutor dance lessons. Clearly, my parents knew I sucked but did not want me to suffer embarrassment until I too realized dance was not my calling. And, I did get back up and finish the dance number to big applause by my parents. Here’s the good news, I am nearly 40 and I can laugh through a zumba class as I stand in the back, I have a dear friend who was the tennis pro at a prestigious tennis club, and I do have a tennis skirt sitting in my drawer for the day I decide to wear it out with a white Lacoste to “lunch” at someone’s country club.
