Stroboscopic Billiards

I've played pool all my life, but I've never played well. Doesn't stop me from wanting a table of my own, though.

For some reason, I always enjoy pictures of famous people playing pool (or, in this case, snooker). Especially beautiful famous people, although I bet that little dog was an annoying sumbitch. I'm also willing to bet this is a staged shot, not just some down time between shots, because I'm pretty sure she's aiming for the wrong ball.
