ensimismada

A star sabreur talks about her life as a very observant Muslim and an Olympic hopeful.

you knew I wanted to start running again and went and got me congestedsorethroated and unable to go out, much less for a run. I MISSED FENCING BECAUSE OF YOU.

I’m on to your game. Reverse psychology from here on out.

This will be the first time in about 20 days that I’ll have fenced, and the first time in five months or so that I’ll be using MY OWN EQUIPMENT and not some smelly club jacket and no plastron and dubious body cords and too-small gloves and weapons with dumbass grips.

SO EXCITED AAAAAAAAAHH

so here’s a fencing pinup to get y’all as excited as I am ;D

Happy Monday!

Sorry if this is a repost. But I am powerless against the powers of vintage pinups, vintage fencing photos, and smexy heels.

fencing equals sexy. no more room for debate.

awww, kitty wants to learn sabre :3

Because you can NEVER have too many fencing pinups.

This one is just so classsssy. Reminds me of old Woody Allen movies. Annie Hall?

more sexy fencing :3

I WILL BE HERE IN TWO WEEKS

I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT CLUB THIS IS

REP.RE.SENT.

I stand by my convictions that fencing is an utterly sexy sport.

“Warm Leatherette” by The Normal… a morbid song, but I have very fuzzy associations with it (it’s on my fencing team’s official mix).

A few times this summer I’ve missed them really badly and playing this song was my first instinct. It works :)

Okay so as a fencer (and an epeeist) I will freely admit there are several things wrong with this picture…but it’s still funny :)

Things I dislike: (In no particular order)

1. racism
2. olives
3. being patronized

Things that happened to me tonight:

1. being patronized
2. being patronized
3. being patronized

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. First time I’ve fenced in about a month, I do NOT need that fucking attitude. It was obvious you thought I was a total n00b who a. had no skill and b. knew nothing about the sport. Both of which are false. SCREW YOU J. I WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH.

At least I have my ticket to Spain.
