Lexie Hull, the player in last year's Indiana Fever basketball team with Caitlin Clark, is a really pretty woman! (Many players on that team are really cute, but I like Caitlin and Leslie, and Aliyah Boston the best.)
Lexie appears to be an very 'What you see is what you get' sort of girl—a married woman, really. Most of these full-face photos show her with makeup on (the same goes for Caitlin Clark, and all these basketball women, and even on the court, most of the time), but most girls do that automatically. I look fine with practically no makeup, so it looks weird to me, though I grew up surrounded by girls wearing a dash of makeup from about sixth grade on. (These days
they wear a lot less than in the past, but it varies from place to place.)
Well, that's all I really have to say. The little cat spent the night in her carrier, and she's just emerged, to check the place out. It's cool in my house, so I'm pretty sure she'll soon be settling down for a nap.

I was reading a Fb post about Caitlin Clark, that said that she noticed a woman and her baby, who seemed to be living in a car, and she found out what was going on. (Apparently medical expenses had resulted in their losing their home, so they were driven to homelessness.) Caitlin helped them get a room in a hotel, connected them up with non-profits that helped people in their positions, bought the mother a pre-paid cell phone, and generally extended a helping hand.
A comment from someone said that it was all lies, that Caitlin was a completely self- centered ... you get the drift.
Well, I can see where this comment is coming from, especially if CC was rude to this person's favorite basketball player, or something like that. There's hate everywhere, and people without discretionary funds find it impossible to believe that people could go out of their way to help strangers.
Honestly, if I was in that situation (in Caitlin Clark's financial position,) I would help in exactly the same ways that Caitlin helped. I know people who are involved in public assistance, and I'm impressed that CC managed to hook this woman up with the best agencies that were designed to help those sorts of people. I couldn't have afforded to put her up in a hotel room, so I couldn't have done that part, but the rest of it made perfect sense.
I guess some people are embarrassed by the lengths to which people go to help others. They lash out with insults for some reason; I guess you need to be a psychologist to know why.
The point is that CC can afford it. She made a lot of money last year; the interesting thing is that she chose to spend it this way. If you don't have the money, or the energy, to do this kind of Good Samaritan thing, you don't have to do it, but why spew venom on someone who does?

P.S. If anyone among my readers happen to not be too keen on some celebrity, who's trying to be generous to some person in dire straits, I would ask you not to discourage them. I know our society is designed for the government to look after people without money or other resources. (I should say it used to be that way, but now because of people whining about taxes, and conservatives cutting down on welfare services, there's a lot less of that available.) When some celebrity helps someone out, he or she is doing that on behalf of all of us.
