I will be away next week, possibly/probably without internet. My girl (Nicola Achilleas):

is up against the lovely Penelope Cruz. The odds are always tough when #61 pick goes up against a #4; however, I think Nicola can hold her own against anyone, but not with just 1 photo. Please include for me all the photos I used in my draft selection, as I'll likely not be present to do so.

OTOH, I will be back Sept 6th to do it myself, should the matchup not have begun by then.

And to all you voters out there, please keep in mind that Nicola is an unknown, and as such does not share the benefit of being made-up, photographed and retouched by the finest artisans Hollywood and the media moguls have to offer.

Like David against Goliath, she is still possessed with the grace of innocence, a rare and precious gift amongst this field of tried and true giants.

I would love to post her up. I think Nicola is going to go far in this tourney.
