Dara Torres is a Model Mother

Whit Honea — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:53:00 GMT

Dara Torres and her daughter Tessa modeled on the runway for Charles Nolan. Wow. I haven't seen the other models, but I can only assume that they are nowhere near the level of fitness that Torres is. She must look like a tree amongst the flowers- and I mean that in a good way.

You may be wondering why she's wearing the outfit that she is despite it being September. That is because Charles Nolan is already sharing the Spring-Summer 2009 collection. I thought the magazines came way too early- but spring/summer 2009? It's still summer 2008!

Dara Torres Reunited With Daughter

Karl Erikson — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:07:00 GMT

Multiple Olympic medalist Dara Torres had a rough time heading to Beijing this month. For the 41-year-old, it meant leaving her 2-year-old daughter, Tessa, behind for nearly a month. Sure, winning 3 silver medals isn't easy, but that's a lot easier than being apart from your kids. Torres has a total of 12 Olympic medals and some of her daughter's favorite things are watching her mommy swim.

The rocking superstar athlete talked about coming home during the Olympics, saying, "I’m gonna put my bags down, and I’m going to go to my daughters room. It’s going to be too late, she’s gonna be asleep. But I’m gonna go to the door and peek in and just look at her. That’s the first thing I’m gonna do."

Well, Dara is finally home and she did just that. She arrived home after 11 p.m. and didn't want to wake Tessa Grace. Instead, she went into her daughter's room several times and just looked at her, giving her a kiss. The next morning was very emotional for her. She finally got to hold Tessa in her arms and just hugged her for a long time.

Welcome home, Dara. You freaking rock.

Silver medalist Dara Torres is a super swimmer, a super mom and now, apparently a supermodel!

Torres, 41, is reportedly set to walk the walk for designer Charles Nolan. Nolan apparently saw the attractive athlete on the Today Show and thought she would be a perfect fit for one of his shows.

Although it's not a for-sure thing, Dara would certainly look fabulous on the runway - she's in great shape, and is an inspiration to women everywhere!

Silver Medalist Dara Torres Says Daughter Is Awesome

Sassy Smith — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:08:00 GMT

Dara Torres, 41, a three-time silver medalist at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, says that her 2-year-old daughter loves the water and that she's "awesome."

Torres says to NBC, about her daugther with partner, David Hoffman, "Tessa's awesome. She's a fun kid and she just absolutely loves the water."

When Dara made the Olympic team, she knew she would have to be away from her little girl for a month since the toddler wouldn't be able to make the trip to Beijing. But Dara is looking forward to telling her daughter all about it when she's old enough to understand.

Torres says, "I'm gonna tell her how much she was a part of this. The sacrifices, the hard work, but still trying to balance the motherhood....I just know it's going to be so much fun when she finally can understand, and I can share all of this with her."

Dara is certainly an inspiration to women everywhere! She's won Silver for: Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, Women's 50m Freestyle and Women's 4 x 100m Medley Relay.

Congrats!

Little Girl Too Ugly For Olympic Officials - OMG!!!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Lin Miaoke is the sweet little 9-year-old girl who sang Ode to the Motherland during the Olympics opening ceremony and she instantly became a hit - only one problem - it wasn't Lin Miaoke's voice....

The 'real' voice belonged to 7-year-old Yang Peiyi but officials, at the last minute, didn't think Yang was cute enough - seriously?? Her voice was deemed the most beautiful but her looks, apparently not so much. Are they kidding?

Are Yang's parents not upset about this? Officials are basically saying that Yang's voice is good enough - it's beautiful - but that her face isn't good enough? That is wrong on so many levels!

An official was quoted as saying, "The main consideration was the national interest. The child on the screen should be flawless in image, in her internal feelings, and in her expression." Uh, so ya, nice way of saying that you think little Yang is ugly?????? NICE.

Does this p*ss you off? It sure does me!

Dara Torres Is Going To The Olympics

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:35:00 GMT

Dara Torres, the 41-year-old mother of a 2-year-old, just won the 100-freestyle at the U.S. trials to reach the Olympics for a record fifth time. That's right - while the rest of us were splashing around in a wading pool with our water wings on, Torres was kicking butt at a pool in Omaha, winning the 100-meter-freestyle in 53.78 seconds. Damn - it takes me around fifteen minutes just to get across the pool using my swim fins and a water noodle.

Torres, who swam in her first Olympic games in 1984, came out of a seven-year retirement last year. This was her first Olympic trials in eight years.

Torres held daughter Tessa during the emotional awards ceremony on the pool deck. She says she was thinking about her late father, Edward, who died a year and a half ago before she could tell him about her comeback plans.

"I was feeling he was with me in that race and really feeling him at the end," she said. "I was trying to hold a brave face while I was out there because I didn't want anyone to see me crying."

This story totally inspires me. The next time I'm at the pool, I'm going to put down my daiquiri, get off my floating barcalounger and do a couple of laps.
