She is not a great dancer: the flow of near-perfect form is missing, and sometimes she moves with an awkward detachment from her body, hands and feet stiff as saucers.

...moon is full. Are there no shadows? A diligent reporter finds one and, oddly enough, it involves an awkward picture. Tiegs is passionate about tennis and is ranked fourth among women celebrities in the nation. Not long ago, Us magazine shot her on the court, and she says, moaning low, "They caught me up on my toes, my arm bent, everything wrong." The nation's muse is now sweating pools on the practice court...
