"Gal" Friday! Kate Upton

Nothing makes you feel your advancing age like a hot young blond! Since Sheena, Queen of the Jungle appeared yesterday, today I've decided to feature one of my recent favorites. Kate Upton is nineteen years old. NINETEEN [tears me up just thinking about it]. She was named “Rookie of the Year” for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2011 and then graced this year’s Swimsuit Edition cover, too. Plus have you seen that Hardees TV commercial where she really sells that jalapeno burger [makes me sweat just mentioning it]!  This double-luscious young lady has added appearances in a couple of big screen comedies to her resume: Tower Heist and The Three Stooges (opening today). Don’t go writing her off simply as a beauty. Ms. Upton is an accomplished equestrian, with her horse Roanie Pony, she has won three APHA Reserve World Championships, in 13 and Under Western Riding, 13 and Under Horsemanship and 14–18 Western Riding and named the 13 and Under Reserve All-Around Champion at the APHA World Championship Show, giving her a total of five championships. In addition, Upton ended up third overall on the APHA youth Top Twenty. With a second horse, Zipped, she won 14–18 Western Riding and was top 5 in 14–18 Horsemanship and 14–18 Western Pleasure in 2009. Oh and check out her very cute viral video where she does the “Dougie” at a sporting event.
