In the ongoing quest to find newer, weirder, uglier kinds of ways to augment the human body, there are plenty of people out there getting questionable tattoos in even more questionable places. Still, we can't really imagine "tooth art" catching on. That's right, there's a studio in Utah that actually offers tooth art (more accurately 'crown art') for people who want to look like they have a piece of spinach permanently caught in their teeth.

We don't really understand the idea behind this body-art innovation at all. The website explains it as a kind of white-collar tattoo that can be removed in only a few minutes with a dentist's grinder, but their samples show teeth branded with portraits of Amy Winehouse, Mickey Mouse and Tiger Woods. It seems more like they're trying to market these to teens and tweens -- along with braces and headgear. Are they serious? Do they really think parents are going to go for that in Utah?

So apparently ESPN The Magazine thinks that people actually care about what athletes wear. I mean, some people might be vaguely interested, but I doubt their readers know what a Jimmy Choo is!

ESPN's average reader is,male, just over 30 years old, with an income of less than $70,000. Yeah, that definitely sounds like a fashionista to me -- please note the heavy sarcasm in my voice.

By focusing more on fashion, ESPN The Magazine is really hoping to bring in those fashion advertising dollars. Although, the vice president of sales doesn't look at it that way. He thinks it actually makes sense, "People want to know what athletes are wearing to and from the ballpark. ESPN should be doing this."

Does he really believe that their readers are sitting around wondering, "Where can I get that polo Tiger Woods is wearing? And, oh my gosh, I just love Lebron James' baggy jeans!"

Hmmm, let me think. When was the last time I really desperately wanted to know what an athlete was wearing to and from the ballpark. I'm going to go with -- wait for it -- never. Athletes wear what their sponsors tell them to wear. B.O.R.I.N.G. Excluding David Beckham, who is as much celebrity as he is athlete, people just don't care what athletes wear.

Oh, and the vice president also mentioned that the magazine is seriously considering putting on an event in Milan during Spring Fashion Week. Gag me. I'm sick of every celebrity and now every athlete under the sign suddenly deciding they're into fashion just because of the cash money they could make.

Browse through the gallery and check out some athletic fashion. Then tell me -- do you care?

You've never seen him on a runway. You've never seen him in Elle or on E! And you've certainly never seen him associated with the likes of Calvin Klein or any other world-renowned designers. (His wife, a Swedish model, is a different story). But Tiger Woods, a 30-year-old professional golfer, has got serious style.

Golf has always been a sport where the competitors dress up, at one time with knickers and a shirt and tie get-up, and today with a collared shirt and khaki pants. But ever since Tiger Woods signed an apparel contract with Nike almost 10 years ago, he's raised the bar for golf course fashion.

Nike has given him the chance to give his input on his self-titled line - Tiger Woods, or TW. And I'm not sure whether or not Tiger has impeccable good taste in clothing or he has a Nike representative that picks out his outfits from head to toe, but he looks darn good every week. Other pro golfers can be seen with less-than-flattering color choices and clothes that just aren't tailored correctly.

His influence can be seen throughout not only the United States, but around the world. Golfers everywhere are mimicking his style and buying up Nike Golf's Tiger Woods line. Clean-cut trousers, firm-pressed collared shirts with unique patterns and colors, and an array of sweaters and vests perfect to wear while shooting under-par every week are what make up the Tiger Woods line.
