'The Sporting Life' in the Fashion Magazine April 2010 issue is a deceiving treat for the eyes. With its slicked-back hair and [revealing gym suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrill-seeker-mega-lift-mascara), [model Tara Gill's pictorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-and-sports-illustrated) easily garners attention.

Tara Gill embodies a poised gymnast as she poses precariously on ropes and swings for 'The Sporting Life' in Fashion Magazine. The images Gill creates are strict and powerful, yet there is a element of playfulness to them. A particular favorite picture of mine is where Tara Gill gets playful with three hula hoops.
