Unlike maddeningly-natural Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, who we introduced to the world in late April, I can’t claim to have launched former figure skater Anna Semenovich’s now-worldwide appeal.

(What lovely earrings)

When I first posted photos and videos of her last year, the regrettably-named Russian had already seen her fake boobs career asplode as a *pop star* in her home country.

(She is, sadly, wearing a top.)

Those photos of course included the most epic animated gif since I discovered this page.

(Reminds of PhilMick-caddie chest bump after holing fairway five iron)

Thanks to images like that, I resisted the urge of an epic weekend in Atlantic City with Jayson Williams’ posse to instead constantly click my YouTube Semenovich search bookmark. Read more…

I needed something to blow off steam from the monumental NBA trade today that rocked The Basin to its core, so I’m happy to report that I’ve discovered a figure skater turned actress/singer/model to help us all decompress into the weekend.

(You’re kidding, right?)

Her name is Anna Semenovich, and she was a Russian Ice Dancer who competed internationally from 1995-2000.

After retiring from skating, she underwent a rather remarkable physical transformation and has since expanded her, uh, career to singing and acting.

Plenty more pics and vids after the jump. Read more…
