Jose Lima's Wife's Dress

by Tyler Bleszinski on Sep 13, 2006 7:06 PM PDT in News

OK, so my fellow SBN blogger at Lone Star Ball won the infamous dress that Jose Lima's wife Melissa wore to a Dodgers game a while back. It gained a ton of notoriety due to Melissa's, um, impressive dimensions.

Witness:

She put it up on eBay and Adam Morris decided as a goof to bid on it. Turns out his goof was the winning bid. And now he's in a bit of a quandry because he receives a personal inscription on an 8X10 photo. He needs our help, so I open it up to you, fellow ANers. Help Adam decide what Melissa Lima should write on the photo. Hey, this is the best thing to happen to a Rangers fan in 2006, so go help him out and maybe the Rangers will repay us with a few victories over Anaheim in the next few days.

I was figuring something along the lines of, "Those aren't buoys."

Obvious? Obvious? UGLY

Please excuse me, I find this distortion, objectivication, and exhibitionism a little offensive.

This is not a normal human body and it looks ugly when naked, please trust me, I've seen it enough times to know. What on earth is this poor woman going to do when she's 45? Do you have any idea how flesh migrates south after forty?

I am infatuated with the human breast as any male, I'm not prude, but this really strikes me the wrong way this morning, I dunno what the hell it is.

What's this gal gonna do when she's 45? I don't know but it's not something Lima is going to have to worry about, she'll have divorced him and taken half his stuff long before then!

Nope

Nobody is "looking for objectification."

And not to go all feminist on y'all, but it is NOT the same thing as women talking about men's bodies.

When as many men get sexually assaulted and raped by women as women get raped and sexually assaulted by men, we can talk about this thread and a discussion of BoCro's package being equivalent to each other.

Until then, I think this thread looks suspiciously like a violation of Community Guideline rule #2 that bans "Comments that are intolerant or prejudiced (sexist, racist, homophobic, etc.) in nature, e.g., "Why don't you go play with your dolls?", "The A's shouldn't sign black players," "Doesn't Damon look like a fag?", etc."

So who do I report this Blez guy to ;-)?

Honestly, if you think it violates the CGV,

then report Blez for a CGV. He's not on the committee that hands out CGVs, and they'll issue him a warning if they find your complaint with merit. Granted, Blez will never be bAnNeD! because he's got the keys to this place, but it might make him think about whether or not what he writes might be hurtful to some community members.

For the record, however, I think one T&A thread every so often is ok. But not everybody agrees with me, otherwise we'd have invented weather-control a long time ago.

Honestly?

I think this post is in a grey area, and since I'm a free-speech kind of guy, I wouldn't report the person who posted it even if it wasn't Blez.

But this post did strike me as the kind of gendered territory-marking that in a sports world -- and blog -- that includes plenty of women really doesn't belong on the frontpage. And I do maintain that given power dynamics in our society, when men do this it's simply not the same as when women do it. (In addition, of course, posts about BoCro's package have much more Oakland A's content than this post does.)

At any rate, the solution to posts such as this, IMO, is not censorship, but rather more speech pointing out the problem. That was what my comment was about. Y'all can go on having your fun now.

That dress...

...has "look at my tits!!!" stamped all over it.

My use of the word "objectification" is probably incorrect, as it connotes treating someone as an object, not just talking about them as such. Perhaps I should have just said that she's obviously seeking attention, and as an adult, she should know how crass a lot of that attention is going to be... and if it's her choice to seek crass attention, then go ahead and talk any way you want about her. Crass talk doesn't cause rape. Neither do crass dresses. Or women who wear crass dresses.

We're talking about talk on a message board. I'm not discussing any sociological/psychological/criminal implications of members of either sex making crude jokes about the opposite sex, and I'm not afraid that anybody on AN is going to rape me or anyone else just because they've made some crude jokes about a woman with incredibly tacky taste in clothing.

"I miss taking showers with Kendall" ~ Brian Giles

No...

her tits have "look at my tits" stamped all over em. I honestly can't imagine what she would wear that wouldn't showcase her "assets" that way. Objectification happens, man or woman, all the time. Only women tend not to go all "hubba hubba honk honk" about it. Men think with the little head in situations like that, we all know it.

I'm not the type to be offended by stuff like this, I just don't think it's all that comment-worthy and I hope the winner of the prize asks for Melissa to inscribe something appropriate on her picture so that she doesn't end up feeling insulted.

But...

...do you think every possible garment she could have worn would have showcased those things as prominently as a tight jersey top does? Obviously, there's nothing that would HIDE them, and that's not what I would advocate anyway. But she's clearly trying (unnecessarily) to accentuate them as much as possible.

By "jersey top," I mean that the fabric appears to be jersey knit (I could be wrong). I didn't mean "jersey" like an athletic jersey.

Nah, you're right.

There are things that she could have worn that wouldn't show em off so much, but I'm a firm believer that women should wear what makes em feel sexy...and that doesn't translate directly to a need for attention. The attention often comes when a woman looks sexy, but that doesn't mean it's her primary motivation. See the difference in my perspective?

by LD on Sep 14, 2006 9:23 AM PDT up reply actions

I see the difference...

And I guess I just have to laugh at her because my perspective is "Why do you need to feel sexy while you are just accompanying your husband at his job?" I wouldn't dress in a way that passes as "sexy" for me if I were going to my husband's office for something... LOL

I don't mind if you go feminist

on us(or me) at least.

But if someone dresses in a particular to show off / attract attention, I don't see why people should not
react.

For example if a guy with a muscular body, big bis and tris, thick ripped legs, nice ass, walks around in a sleeveless shirt and tight shorts, and ends up attracting lots of attention and comments, would you complain?

And it is increasingly becoming much more common for male athletes to be objectified.

To follow the original request

However, I think the lady should write:

You don't need to hit a home run.

Sometimes just getting to second base is good enough.

and now my life looks a whole hell of a lot better.

Personal life

In December 2004, Lima was successfully sued by a woman who claimed she had contracted genital herpes from him. Faced with counts of assault and negligence, Lima may owe the woman as much as $950,000. He claims to have contracted the incurable disease while on vacation in the Dominican Republic.

anyway, how about "bigger than my husband's ERA."

Does it even matter what she writes on it??

If I ended up with her dress after seeing those photos, the dress would end up too stained to preserve any inscription anyway. Maybe she should sign with Luminol ink.
