yowza! anyone see the latest hot pool chick?

It appears that only a handful of players actually won a qualifier and the rest were invited. How does this make it a World Championship, and how is that fair to those who paid to play in an actual qualifier?

I am pretty sure Angel Paglia didn't win a qualifier to play in the World Championship either. I know she used to play on the WPBA but hasn't lately and even when she did play in some events last year she didn't do well. She has been playing more lately but still nothing I would qualify as meriting an invite to the Tourney. Turns out she didn't play because of dehydration or something like that but she was still invited and imo undeservedly. Hey she is pretty though.

Angel won a qualifier. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=140995

Having proved herself as a top 32 contender on the WPBA when she did play, is (to me) good enough to warrant a spot if she would've been invited.

This is a friend of mine. Whether or not she "should" play in any tournament, your cheap public shot about her sleeping her way into it means I might make a point to meet you so I can put that asterisk up your ass where you'll get a good look at it.

If I found the right picture she doesn't look HOT to me, cute but not hot. Looks like just another cute kid and there seems to be no shortage of them in pool lately. Question is can she play, does anybody know?
 
Sam's post was so out of line and vicious, it makes me despair for mankind in general.
Classic sexism: "oh, the girl couldn't have gotten that job without f*cking the boss".
He's never seen her hit a single goddamned ball.

If he has a spouse, I pity her for the hateful loser she's been saddled with.
I hope his backwards ignorant ass really does get banned.

Patrick, thanks for your cheap public threat towards me as well. Please come to Springfield, Mo anytime you'd like to follow through on it. Enjoy your happiness as well.
 
Sam Waltz...Your post is in very poor taste. You're making some pretty big assumptions here (which are totally wrong, btw)...and you know what happens when you ASSUME! Zarah got her "opportunity" to learn because of her skill as a professional photographer...and nothing else. Charlie knows a good marketing opportunity when he sees one. I'm not condoning CW's behavior (as I have disagreed with many things he's done in the past), however, that's not what's going on here. Zarah is a really nice girl, who happens to be pretty, and more importantly, has a skill that CW could use (photography).

This is not a real world championship anyway, as the best players from every country are not represented. Add to that the fact that it's invitational (at the discretion of the promoter), and it's nowhere near a full field. Zarah got an invite, as did some other players. She will be no threat to the players vying for the win, and as such, there shouldn't be such a commotion about her being there (in other words, she did not prevent someone else, perhaps more "worthy", from attending). No doubt there will be some great pics from this event.

To Charlie Williams' newest FB, Zarah Delrosario: Pool is a professional sport played by women who have worked their entire lives to attain the skills they have. They have earned their right to play in a world championship, on the other hand you absolutely have not! Your an admitted amatuer and your only playing in this event due to your attachments with Charlie Williams. I reviewed the list of players that will be competing in the tournament and all are reputable professionals or qualifiers who won their way in...then there is you. I have an idea! Why don't we just put an astrisk by your name and put "F'in' Charlie Williams" in brackets by it to explain why your there! At least with girls like you around Charlie won't need to be sneekin' around hotel rooms tryin' to get some! You wanna be a pool player Zarah? Do the work, then the opportunities will be genuine!

To Charlie Williams: hmmmmmm, I just don't think there's anything I could put here without getting banned! Oh well, let your imagination run wild with what I might have written.


*These are my OPINIONS! If you disagree, so be it. If I get banned...farewell my fellow AZers, it's been great!*

If Angel P plays like she did the last time I saw her, I like her over a LOT of women pros. She played perfectly.

1 - As a photographer myself, I would love to see some of Zarah's work. Is there a website? (If she is a professional, she will have one.)

EDIT: Found her art on DeviantArt and she's an amazing artist. I don't see any event photography that CW would benefit from, though. If anyone has an official site for her, please post it.

2 - That doesn't warrant an invitation to play in a world championship.

3 - If being a professional photographer does warrant an invitation, where is Lara Rossignol on the list of invites? She has to be one of the best photogs in the country and a damn good pool player on top of that.

Marissa...I can't say if she is a complete professional, but that's her vocation, and what she makes her living at...afaik. Don't know if she has a website, but probably does. Maybe one of the Chicago guys know the site address. About being invited...I guess Lara doesn't know CW...which would be the difference here. To be fair, Zarah only met CW immediately prior to the exhibition that he, Hohman and Bustamante did at Pressure Billiards, in Feb. Zarah was there to watch, and brought her photo gear as a favor to one of our friends (Dave...another Pinoy, and AzB reader), who wanted to get some good shots of him playing Bustamante. Obviously CW was impressed with her photography skills, and 'hired' her (barter) to take pics of the whole event...which were posted here...as well as at the Predator school a couple of days later, out in Villa Park. I still don't see the big deal about her getting invited. She did not cheat anybody else out of a shot at that tournament...and was not the only person "invited" to come play. I can tell you one thing for certain...she won't knock anybody out, who would otherwise have a chance to win. The travel and experience is a great thing for a young woman...whether she "earned" her way there, via skill, or not.

She, as an amateur, was invited which means a worthy pro did not get that invite. Not hating on her for that... that's all CW and I bet it has more to do with her beauty than artistic skills. If it were, she'd have been hired as a photographer. How is she supposed to photograph an event she's playing in? I do find the press release photo and its caption funny. I would have turned in a more professional looking headshot. Curious question: If she lives in Chicago, how is she representing the Philippines?

I did find some of her art online and it's amazing. Where are the pics that she has taken at the tournaments you mention I would like to see those.
