Julia Mancuso is known for her tiara as much as she is her awesome skiing ability. Why does Julia wear a tiara after she skis anyway? Is it publicity for her underwear line? Well, not it might be, but she was wearing the tiara years before the underwear came about…
More pictures of Julia after the skivvies…
Julia skied to a silver medal yesterday, right behind Lindsay Vonn’s gold. Julia still put on a tiara after the skied and while she waited at the bottom of the hill for the other competitors. Why did she start wearing a tiara? From Wikipedia:
After her coach gave her a plastic tiara as a good-luck token in 2005, she wore it over her racing helmet during several slalom races. She wore her tiara following her Silver Medal run in the Women’s Downhill and again at the medal ceremony at the 2010 Winter Olympics. In 2010, Mancuso launched her own lingerie line named Kiss My Tiara. Mancuso also models lingerie and has been memorably quoted as saying, “I think underwear is my calling. You can be feminine and fast.”
It must work, because she has a bunch of medals to her credit! Good luck on the rest of your runs Julia!
