They call this woman the “Black Widow” and I can tell you she sure does wear a lot of black. And she has to shop for this stuff somewhere. She also can play a pretty mean game of billiards, which I saw first-hand several times this past weekend. Jeanette Lee, Korean-American face of women’s pool, recently was voted the third most beautiful female athlete by ESPN.com readers. I was close enough to her often enough to say she deserves the honor.
So where does the lovely Black Widow shop? Well, this weekend it was all around the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, where the big pro women’s billiards tournament was held. Jeanette didn’t win. Karen Corr, “the Irish Invader,” nabbed the title. But I’m not sure Karen shops as well as Jeanette. So when we wanted some thoughts about the Hard Rock’s stores and other amenities, we went to the Black Widow.
She’s stayed at the Hard Rock before. And loves it. “They have really good shops, like a Black and White store, which is great for my needs,” she told me. “So there’s excellent shopping. But I also think it’s a beautiful casino and I love the pool. They have this wading pool that’s so child-friendly.”
Jeanette says she travels about 40 percent of her time, often with her toddler daughter. That’s a lot of hotels, a lot of resorts, a lot of different cities. Here’s what the Black Widow said about Broward’s gambling resort: “Hard Rock is one of the few places I would bring my entire family on vacation.” That’s fairly major praise from a famous world-traveler. Somehow I suspect she’ll be back.
Oh yeah – I’d promised to pass along the pool-playing tip she gave me. I had asked her, “How do you female pros get massive breakshots when strong amateur guys like me can’t do that?” It’s all in the arm position: Cock your rear shoulder 90 degrees to your body, using your elbow to move the cue. Watch the experts. You’ll see they hit every shot this way. That position allows stick control. With practice, you can then learn to add body force to breaks while still controlling the cue. That’ll impress your friends. Especially if you wear lots of black.
