)
I get a certain amount of abuse over the MarlinBlog. Most of the venom is aimed at the fact that, while on a fishing site and possessing a fishy name, the MB is really about everything but fishing. Frankly, I've never really understood why people would feel so strongly negative, but hey - that's their call.
Once in a while, though, I like to cater to our billfish-happy clientele. This is one of those occasions. Not only was our Eye Candy model, Mélissa Theuriau, selected by the posters over at the Marlin Club, but we're protecting her modesty - and our family-friendly rating - with none other than the lure that made SCMO famous, the Black Reidee! Who loves you, baby!
For those unfamiliar with Ms. Theuriau, she's a news reader for a French network who may be better known for her wardrobe than her reporting. Of course, we know nothing like that here in LA, do we ...
From our friends at Wikipedia:
Mélissa Theuriau (born 18 July 1978, in Échirolles, suburb of the south of Grenoble, France) is a French journalist. She has been called the most beautiful newscaster in the world, and has a cult following in the United States and the United Kingdom. In June 2006, M6, a French television channel, announced her arrival for September as editor in chief and presenter of Zone interdite, a weekly magazine show featuring investigative reporting. She also presents Un jour, une Photo et 2, 3 jours avec moi on the french TV channel Paris Première.
Call it a hunch, but I don't think we've seen the last of her at the MB ...
