Kristi Yamaguchi’s Feet

Click To Enlarge Feet

Porn chick Sunny Lane tells this story about how bunions forced her out of competitive ice skating and into the naked body business. One look at those pickled piggies Kristine Tsuya [sounds like sue ya] Yamaguchi is packing, and we can relate to early retirement. Born in Hayward California in 1971, Yamaguchi, an Olympic champion figure skater and Hall of Famer, wasn’t around for Pearl Harbor and thus can’t be held as a material witness. As a youngster with a club foot, Yamaguchi figured that skating would be good physical therapy. Singer Ray Charles entertained similar ideas about professional baseball. From what we gather, Kristi had a normal upbringing except for those times she insisted on wearing a kimono to public ice rinks. Her first brush with fame came by winning the National pairs skating title with Rudy Galindo who’s often mistaken for Delroy Lindo. After years as a team and whispers that they kept their skates in different arena lockers together, Yamaguchi and Galindo [a natural comedy marquee if there ever was one] split. Yamaguchi flew solo and Galindo, like most male skaters, is still flying. At this point, Yamaguchi’s career became a blur of championships and gold medals. Unfortunately, her club feet took a significant pounding. There was even chatter about a toe telethon in her honor, but Kristi bravely surmounted the odds on her own and eventually won coveted Soy Sauce product endorsements and found places on both a Wheaties box and Dancing with the Stars. She is, as we speak, in first place. Since July 8, 2000, Kristi, an obvious proven winner in all fields, has been married to Bret Hedican, an NHL hockey player she met at the 1992 Winter Olympics. When the subject of hockey pucks came up, it was love from the word goal. In skating competitions, Kristi’s never gotten less than a “9″ so this is going to come somewhat as a shock when she takes home a “3″. For that’s the number in a peck of pickled piggies.
