...still, he claims that he's looking for the right woman to marry and with whom to have his "first" sexual experience. Pluhheeasssee. Not only did Enrique betray his self-description while attending my high school, but he confesses that his virginity lends itself to particularly effective pick-up lines. Case 2: Anna Kournikova. Kournikova is a tennis player--which may come as a shock to her zillions of teenage fans who download fake images of her off the Web and set up dedicated fan sites to the Russian Lolita.
