Under Aereste!

The charge: stealing bases.  We also have the feeling she is about to steal many hearts as well.  We at XzillaRation are hereby issuing a warrant!

Staring the opposition down.

Aereste Laval and I met some time ago, after she approached me via a group we both belong to.  After saying hi, I did what I always do: popped open her profile.  What awaited me there was one of the most original and attractive profile pics I have ever seen (do yourself a favor and look her up before you read another line here: Areste Laval).  Before I could say "Put up your dukes!" we had exchanged friendship and started talking about plans for a photoshoot.

Settling into the box.

In keeping with the general athleticism that she exudes, we both thought it might be fun to take a baseball-related set.

She likes 'em high and inside.

We worked through a variety of poses, and she enthusiastically stripped down until it was nothing but her, the bat, and her expertly-coiffed "infield" between me and the camera.

Wouldn't you just love to round her bases?

Giving the runner the old "round third and slide into home" signal.

Thinking about taking a high hard one.

There's something to be said for old school natural turf.

 

One strike, no balls.

She speaks softly, but she carries a big stick!

We had so much fun, I decided to make a trading card in her honor!  Only I doubt you'd be trading this, or care much about the bubblegum, if you ever got your hands on Aereste or her card!  This is one case where you probably do wish you were under Aereste!
