AYES HAVE IT FOR WOMAN FIGHTER IN OUR NOBLE HOUSE
THERE was a time when boxing appeared to be out for the count ¨C a
Neanderthal sport that had no place in an age of health safety in
which even conkers was considered a tad dangerous.Certainly the
suggestion that young girls should glove up and attempt to knock seven
shades out of one another appealed to few other than the
voyeuristic.Yet tonight at the House of Commons, the Noble Art is going
to be sat in the corner, given a brisk towel down and have a whiff of
something strong waved under its nose.both brands reflected the mood
created on the Milan runway these past four days where the top-billed
brands ¡including Prada, Gucci, Ralph Lauren Hoody, Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, Britain's Burberry and Versace.
Doing it will be one of the House's youngest and more petite
recruits, Charlotte Leslie. The recently elected Conservative member
for Bristol North-West,Louis Vuitton, and with Gucci releasing the
Seventies Collection of vintage-inspired Gucci high top shoes
in Australian stores this week, it's getting another shot at fashion
fame and are discovering the decade's fashion hits through TV and blogs
such as Myparentswereawesome on Tumbl. who read Classics at Oxford and
worked at the BBC, is coming out fighting for the much misunderstood
sport she champions.Leslie, 32, is to be the chair of the reformed All
Party Parliamentary Boxing Group, who are actively promoting the fight
game as a sport to be embraced.The launch in the Atlee Suite has the
support of Sports Minister Hugh Robertson, while former featherweight
world champion Barry McGuigan will be among the speakers.
The message is that boxing is very PC and Big Society. It can
bring discipline and exercise to even the most underprivileged parts of
society.It is also hitching its wagon to London 2012, where the amateur
ranks of boxing are hoping to build enthusiasm with a bag of medals for
Great Britain.Leslie said: There is a misconception around boxing and
I hope we can show that. It's incredibly energetic and incredibly good
for you after a hard day at work or at school ¨C you can let go of that inside you.
So what does a nice Conservative lady from Bristol know about
fisticuffs? Quite a bit, as it turns out. She certainly knows her
Lonsdale belts from her Gucci belts. A national swimming prospect as a
teenager with her own Olympic dreams, Leslie used boxing as
cross-training and fell in love with it at the Avonmouth National
Smelters Club in Bristol's docklands, where she is now president.I
started boxing at 13 and loved it. I never fought bouts, it was not
that well organised then,simply don your specially designed sneakers
and the mbt tennis shoes
will help you firm up as you stroll around. But can wearing a pair of
shoes really tone you up? Yes, says a spokeswoman for MBT. but I
trained a lot. What surprised me was that I found the people who work
in boxing incredibly gentle and nice.
