OK, did lots of research for my picspam, and dirty work it was too, searching through Hundreds of pictures of Marat and Sasha....well, you can imagine it was quite a chore, examining each expression, looking for the subtle nuance of body language that, because it is so totally UNCONSCIOUS, is SO revealing.....and I have a couple here that REALLY..well, it's Friday, so hopefully most of us have the weekend to recover...but for examples of MArat being outrageously sexy in an apparently unconscious way..... 

A Picspam to at least try to dispel the gloom of another early exit from a tournament for our dear boy, who seems to be struggling at the moment...But things could be worse, he still has Sasha !!!! and here's to LOVE!!!!
AND credit to all the photographers...the pictures came from all over, thanks to Nastasie for setting me off with her great update - and davis at TGFR who took the DC shots...
Warning- not friendly to dial-up, a fair few photos...
