WAG of the Week: Manuela Arcuri

By: Martha | March 29th, 2007

[Real life and work are kicking my ass right, so this is probably the last post for the day. Luckily, there's very little happening in the world o' calcio today, and I'm sure you'd rather look at a WAG than read about Ronaldinho again anyway.]

The lovely Ms. Arcuri is doubly qualified for this feature having dated both Francesco Totti and and Francesco Coco. (In addition to getting the title of Calcio WAG, she also deserves our deepest respecting for scoring that pair of men. I mean, damn.)

I really need to create a paragraph I can cut-and-paste here, because pretty much the same elements appear in the bios of all of these women, from nude modeling to the same damn TV shows. And, yes, Manuela is a model. It’s been her goal practically since birth, apparently, but since she “grew up in a loving, supportive household” (in case you were wondering), everyone was totally cool with her desire to splash her womanly bits* across the pages of magazines and newspapers throughout Italy.

One guess what she moved on to after she made her name as a model. Yep, acting! Actually, Arcuri started out in the movies, which sets her apart a bit from the rest of the WAGs. And she’s put together quite a resume, moving from small “Oh, look at the hot chick!” parts into starring roles in movies that aren’t all crap. Reassuringly, though, she did eventually move on to TV, where she’s currently starring in a series, having spent some time as a proverbial showgirl and (of course) appeared in a season of Police Officers, the go-to show for all Italian models. And, as an added bonus, she showed up on the set of Scherzi a parte, the Punk’d-style show that does mean things to footballers (among others), and did an impromptu pole dance. I have no idea what it’s about, but the guy at the end seems very concerned about the sensitive children who may be watching.

*In case you’re disappointed about not seeing said bits above, I also uploaded a very NSFW photo for your viewing pleasure. Me, I find it much less hot than the feature photo, but you can go check it out and make your own call.

  Good call on the feature photo. Yep, good call Martha.

  Seriously, you should win for ‘best web site of the year’ every year until the end of the world.

  Gah! I’ll admit I don’t have a foot fetish, but still not bad.

  Y’know, I’ve never had any desire to suck on stiletto heels. Maybe I’ve missed out on something. SHE sure seems to be enjoying it.

  OK, so I ‘accidentally’ clicked on the NSFW picture. What I’m wondering is why the filename is “smaller-boobies.jpg”. I mean, smaller than what??

  I’m sorry, but la bella Manuela is more than a mere wag. She is the wag category killer before whom we mere mortals can only bow and scrape.

  I don’t have much to add, as Clint pretty much summed up my feelings. WAG of the Week is the new cocaine.

  I’m glad you guys are enjoying the crack (though RomaPete has me worried we may just have hit the wall), I hope the quality of the good continues to be so high — feel free to suggest ladies with ties to footballers (no, not Ilary Blasi, Muddia). Also, remember we’re still trying to find a man for Girogia Palmas so she can have a solo post. I know Lazy offered to move to Italy for her, but since he’d playing below Serie B, I’m afraid that wouldn’t do it — I know it’ll be a struggle, but keep an eye out for news on her dating life.

  Tom, your comment made me laugh out loud. My choices were the boobies pic or the shoe pic, so I resized them both to fit into the post. Thus the “smaller boobies” was about the size of the image — never the actual boobs. Which, as you say, are smaller than very little.

  And Laurie, I had the same thought. As soon as I get some stilettos, I’m so sucking on the heels. I think it will make me hotter.

  I found a couple little paparazzi shots in which she looks good, roswitha, thanks for the suggestion. Of course, since she’s not a showgirl/model, there are hardly any pics of her online — we need hot women who both date Italian footballers AND are exhibitionists. Damn Mrs. De Rossi for being demure!
