ESPN Mag!

Hey Guys,

How are you all? I hope that all is well. I am doing really well. I am totally excited that I was given the chance to be a part of the ESPN Body Issue. As you all know, I am not a size zero but I love my body. This opportunity allowed me to showcase my body as a form of art & I am grateful. I was so flattered that they wanted ME to be featured on this issue. To choose me, AHHH!!! I was smiling from ear to ear. I wanted the cover to be special, kind of an old Hollywood feel like Dorthy Dandridge & Marylin Monroe. Really classy, really artistic something strong and beautiful as well as sexy, yet classy!!!

You all have not had the Opportunity to hear from me about my ESPN Body Issue Magazine cover. I have read your feedback since the release of the photo & I am thankful for your responses. I took this opportunity knowing the risk but with the hopes that people understand the difference between reflection & image. I hope everyone loved it as much as I did! I love you all for your continued support.

Click here to view a full image of the cover and to learn more about the body issue.

Xxxx,

S

And you have ours Serena! Thank you so much for verifying what I knew to be what it was. There are 1,075 subscribers to JWNs and growing daily. I'll make sure to let them know as well. Ha!!!!

Comment by : Manpreet Mudhar Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Hey Serena, I just finished reading your book this morning. I always wondered what the players were thinking about when I watched tennis and your book answers that question. I love all the positive messages and your story. Overall, hard work and determination are all needed for success and I thank-you for taking the time to share your story. Take care, Manpreet

Comment by : Monique Rice Wednesday, October 14, 2009

The cover was hot! I thought it was done in taste. Keep living your life for you!!

Comment by : Ketie Aristil Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Hi Rena, I support you 150%...There i nothing wrong with posing for ESPN..,. That is nothing but ART... Love you, Ketie

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Okay Serena. I just hit up JEHOVAH WITNESS NEWS on YOUTUBE, and informed the friends of what you just released about your photo. I called some friends as well. Anybody writing in saying something negative while using the name of Jehovah concerning this issue, it is to be believed that they ARE NOT TRUE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. You have given your reply and WE have accepted this as what it is. Thank you.

Comment by : Henrique Luz Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Serena, I loved the picture! You are beautiful! And congratulations! You are the number 1!

Comment by : imani sankofa Wednesday, October 14, 2009

I love the ESPN cover. Great body! Keep up the good work.

Comment by : Emalee Vinson Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Absolutely loved your ESPN cover. Beautiful and tasteful, extremely classy. Enjoy having the type of body that can be showcased in the buff, yet revealing nothing. Wonderful. I admire you. Stay uniquely you.

Comment by : Lamar Charles Wednesday, October 14, 2009

I love the recent work you doing so far. I hope my little sister looks up to you as perfect example of class, determination, and passion. Love you Serena, -LC

Comment by : Carlos Lora Wednesday, October 14, 2009

The body is a divine creation, and you've shown in your case is also a work of art. I love you

Comment by : DaVonda Smith Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Thanks for the message and you are so welcome. I am supporting you one hundred percent. You and Vee go for number one and two. Now go and dominate Doha.

Comment by : Bree F Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Hi,Serena: Your ESPN cover was absolutely fabulous! You look, just as you said, classy and vava voom sexy. A peek-a-boo which left so much to the imagination. I cannot find an issue! It is unbelievable how fast they were snatched off the stands. But I should not be surprised, afterall you ARE amazing. I am so happy for you,Serena! Thank you for loving yourself, because we love you and aspire to be as confident and chic as you. Blessings in all that you do.

Comment by : Kimberly York Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Serena, I must admit I have never participated in writing to a "celebrity" but I just finished watching the last 10 minutes of your rerun interview on Tavis Smiley and I wanted to learn more about you. I came to your website and I was totally blown away! Thank you for being so "real" and down to earth. As an Executive Director who works with at risk girls, thank you for allowing young ladies to touch you. I could go on and on, but I will simply say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart> I pray that God restores all that you give out on behalf of our young people.

Comment by : Louis Gray Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Dear Serena Birthday Mate I was not ready for a couple of things you really have to consider my age and my heart condition Serena I came home from dropping an elderly couple home from prayer meeting and Bible study I turned on Conan O'Brien and he announced you I immediately sat down to watch the interview you walked out where these low heels and this black and white pants suit Lil Gurl God has already blessed you with "The Curve Of Beauty" and those heels made .. well...the old men you to say it like this "Great Googah Mooggah!" Please Serena drop Ole Louis a line before you appear anywhere ..I need to take extra Heart Medication OK? LOL! And the second thing that ESPN Cover is nothing less than a work of Art!!!!!!........Don't let a brother get rich cause I will buy the originals (even the out takes ) and make them a private collection ;-) You are indeed the one of most exquisite of all God's creation. As for being a Psycho Girl Friend you just need an older Psycho boyfriend LOL! ;-) Much Love and Good Luck In Ireland

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Don't worry about the self-righteous ones either Serena. From wherever they come from. Any one righteous over much is probably a closet freak. That's just the good ole' plain truth of the matter. My husband and I was just talking about this: What may be fine to do in one culture or country, may not be acceptable in another. Man, may be bound by culture, but God is not. So presumptuous I am not. My husband totally agrees with me.

Comment by : Monique Rice Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Serena, I watched you tonight on tavis and conan you looked like you just stepped off the runway!! You go girl!

Comment by : Fred Kelley Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Comment by : DeAna C. Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Serena, I love that u love your body, as you should b/c you're BEAUTIFUL!! And at the end of the day its all about health & happiness, which you definitely seem to have. Love ya.

Comment by : Granville Hunte Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Yes it is a beautiful shot. To my taste it is not explicit, but you can tell that the dynamics to a fine athletic structure of a remarkable athlete does exist. I am also proud of my physique and I will expose it every chance I get. Besides, you actually expose more when you wear those fine tennis outfits than you are doing here in this ESPN Shoot.

Comment by : jipson fernandez Thursday, October 15, 2009

u awesome..... sarena.. absoulutly sexy... im loving it..

Comment by : Patty Lopez Thursday, October 15, 2009

Serena, I actually saw this cover online last week. I really liked it. I have a friend who was a photography major in college and she thought it was really well done. Very artistic. I just liked it because you look GOOD! I have my tix for Jimmy Kimmel in Hollywood this Friday...looking forward to it. Best of luck at Doha!

Comment by : Eric Atkins Thursday, October 15, 2009

Dam. I once only could imagine now, I have a pretty concete visual of what it'll be like. I love writing. Bye-Bye for now Serena. lol

Comment by : Des Prince Thursday, October 15, 2009

Comment by : Nioka Powell Thursday, October 15, 2009

You looked great on the magazine cover.It was done tastefull and. classy. I also liked that ESPN did an issue like this because it's different and inspiring.

Comment by : Tony B. Thursday, October 15, 2009

Comment by : Rémy OLIVE DE L'AUTE Thursday, October 15, 2009

Serena, you are one of the most beautiful women on earth. But I figured this out years ago, not last week. Maybe you become even most beautiful day after day... Kisses Rémy, from Paris, France

Comment by : John Fish Thursday, October 15, 2009

OMG. Thank you Serena for your e-mail. You really make my day. I told my whole family and they were like what! Are you sure it was Serena herself? So thanks again for taking your precious time to write to your fans. The ESPN pictures are beautiful so feminine and classy. Serena your book is excellent and so funny, I don’t wont it to be end. Well good luck in Doha, bring home the singles and doubles trophy! Love from the Netherlands. XXX

Comment by : Guy Roberts Thursday, October 15, 2009

Hi Serena; I love your cover girl pic; do you think there'll be a poster version of it? You modeling while sitting in the splits would also be sweet eye candy.

Comment by : DMR Roberts Thursday, October 15, 2009

SMOKIN'!!!!! And, I'll share a compliment from my boyfriend. He admires the body, don't get me wrong, but he thinks your best feature on this cover is your smile and eye contact. Just wanted to pass that along.

Comment by : Ted L Thursday, October 15, 2009

Hi Serena, I love the cover. I think you look even more beautiful than ever. You will always have my support good or bad, win or lose. Also, thanks for making this an exciting year. I'm so happy for all the success that you have had on and off the court. Good luck in the championships.

Comment by : Murtaza Yusuf Thursday, October 15, 2009

I know a lot of stunts can be pulled on digital photography. Recently while looking at a mirror i took a shot of my self and u would think some one else does! I feel this cover page is one of those stunts. Its a Serena's shot from a reflection, not a live image! I Gotcha..LOL

Comment by : Lorenzo Neal Thursday, October 15, 2009

How can i get a full wall photo of the espn body issue. I love it, great piece of art!!!!!!!!

Comment by : del kerr Thursday, October 15, 2009

wow Serena girl let is shine

Comment by : Mellissa Lock Thursday, October 15, 2009

As a mother of a daughter I discuss with her images everyday about strong woman. We talk about self image and body image. I can say I proudly showed her your cover and we both agree it was a great reflection of someone confident in their skin. You work hard to be healthy and happy that shows in the body issue. Great job lady!! Embracing you is never wrong!!!

Comment by : Robert Dill Thursday, October 15, 2009

i absoloutly love the espn magazine layout.very classy serena.your beauty definatly shows through.not to mention your million dollar smile.NO ONE HAS A BETTER SMILE!IM SO HAPPY THAT THEY PICKED YOU FOR THE MAGAZINE!take care.love ya.

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Thursday, October 15, 2009

Hi Serena, JEHOVAH WITNESS NEWS on YOUTUBE, IS NOT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR JEHOVAH WITNESSES. THE OFFICIAL WEBSITES IS WWW.WATCHTOWER.ORG, OR WWW.JW.ORG. I HAD TO ADD THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PUT A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE ANYONE.

Comment by : Ted Amoruso Thursday, October 15, 2009

SERENA, You never have to explain....If you've got it baby flaunt it! As I've told you before, "BEAUTIFUL NUBIAN QUEEN!"(LOL) LOVE, NEW YORK TEDDY

Comment by : Joe Gurtoski Thursday, October 15, 2009

Serena I usually throw out ESPN the magazine as soon as I recieve it, but the issue with You on the cover I will definately KEEP that is a Great Picture of You! I always knew You were very Sexy! You don't have to be a size 0 to be sexy! So now You are the Best Player on the WTA Tour and the Sexiest! I also liked the Bikini Picture of You inside the issue! You need to make the Picture available on your web site in Poster form for Purchase for your Fans who would like to purchase it. Just an idea Once again you are always interesting to follow whether its Tennis or the other things You choose to do.Have a Great Day! R/Joe Gurtoski

Comment by : Nongnoot Noot Thursday, October 15, 2009

Comment by : Chris Strickland Thursday, October 15, 2009

Serena, Serena, Serena! I am so thankful that you are NOT a size 0! Your body is absolutely beautiful and is the prototype for many men all over the country (and women). Keep doing whatever it is you do as far as your workout and diet please! Can you train other women to look like you?

Comment by : Chika Ihenetu Thursday, October 15, 2009

Thankyou for showing that one can be beautiful in their own skin and not by standards of others.

Hi Serena! Thanks for another your blog, I´m so glad to hear you´re doing well. If you ask, so I´m well too.. :) lol. Ok, hmm, it says one view is more than hundreds of words, that´s why the most beautiful sentences are said silently. So all I would want to know is if you´re happy doing this, and I can feel reading your words that you´re happy. That´s the most important for me! :) Well, I just hope you also train!?? lol Have a nice time, I look forward to see you & Vee on the court. I.

Comment by : JOHN JAY Friday, October 16, 2009

HI SERENA, MY TWIN GIRLS ARE HUGE FANS OF YOURS AND RECENTLY THEY WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY A DRUNK DRIVER IN OUR TOWN. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD PLEASE PUT TOGETHER A SURPRISE SIGNED TENNIS PACKAGE FOR THE BOTH OF THEM SO THAT THEY CAN GET BETTER IN A HURRY. COULD YOU ALSO SEND THEM A COPY OF THE ESPN MAGAZINE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, MR JOHN JAY AND FAMILY 2400 5TH STREET FORT LEE, NJ 07024 PS- COULD YOU ALSO HAVE VENUS SEND THEM SOME SIGNED PHOTOS AS WELL?

Comment by : Charly Nike Friday, October 16, 2009

Comment by : A Johnson Friday, October 16, 2009

Hi Serena. You look gorgeous!

Comment by : Steven Long Friday, October 16, 2009

Glad you are number 1 again... I am one of your praying- for - you fans!! I defend you a lot on message boards. Congrats on being #1. When will someone make a serious narrative movie about you and your sister. Its movie worthy. You should have some serious people write the script for you. I would love to see it. Love to work on it. Keep your nose to the grindstone.

Comment by : Jeffrey Bryant Friday, October 16, 2009

You Go Girl!!! NUMBER #1!!! You deserve it. I'm very happy for ypou and I am desperately waiting for you to not only tie that record, but to pass it and then some. I'll be cheering for you. Blessings to you. Your Greatest Fan...Jeff Bryant

Comment by : Ketie Aristil Friday, October 16, 2009

Hi Rena! I just want to say that if Mr. JOHN JAY's twin girls WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED by a drunk driver that as a celebrity that truly really cares about her fans and i know that you do; you should make their dream become reality. Mr John Jay is only asking for signed Tennis balls. Anyway, you are a strong, succesful black woman. I hope that you know that. You have fans of all ages and races. You will be around for a long long time. I really do appreciate everything that you and Vee have done for those that are unfortunate. I will mention once again how blessed you are for opening that school in Kenya. I am not from Africa, but i was born in Haiti and raised in NY. I only spent the first 10 years of my life in Haiti. My family were middle class there. What i'm trying to say is that what you have done for those poor kids there really means a lot and that the Lord will provide and will protect you against anything. I am not JHV. I was raised Pentecostal and i believe that there is only one God and he loves us all no matter what. Rena, continue being you.......Lovvvve you and truly do! Ketie

Comment by : John McLaughlin Friday, October 16, 2009

Serena you look great on the cover, and nobody wants a size zero anyway! lol Keep doing you, and not letting other's criticism and negativity get to you. You're beautiful! Big up!

Comment by : big D Saturday, October 17, 2009

Hey Serena I think that you are awesome and the greatest female player of all times. Some people are probably wondering why you did this cover, but I agree with others that you're sexy and classy so I think it's cool. If any people are hating....then I believe they might just be jeolous of you and just how beautiful you are. "If you have it...show it off!"

Hello Serena! I loved watching you on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I thought your black dress and those shoes were so classy!!! You looked absolutely stunning. Your hair looked like it was a "bee hive" style from the 60's. Gorgeous. I loved it when you revealed you have an Asian physio-therapist. That was a stellar moment. You showed the world that you are a peacemaker. Thank you.

Comment by : Guy Roberts Saturday, October 17, 2009

Hey Serena, saw you on the Jimmy Kimmel show. You were great, and Jimmy Kimmel was great for not making you play tennis in high heels. lol

Hey Ms. S. I missed you on Mr. Kimmell show. Yet, you can be sure I tried to find a few of the ESPN magazines. You making a brotha wanna read if you keep putting your picture on anything. You know the deal. ;).

Comment by : Mike Darius Sunday, October 18, 2009

Hey Ms. Serena, One more thing, don't let me exclude your sister Ms. Venus. To tell you the truth you two make a brother want to read & write. ;). Again, you know the deal. ;). Okay, that may be more than one thing.;). Peace.

Comment by : Jose Regino Peña Sunday, October 18, 2009

More than Wow! Miss Serena... I think that a body like that only can live with a mind like yours, perfect harmony, no wonder u r a perfectionist.. congratulations and remember "One is what one is not and want is not what one is" ( Empiric Psychology). Jose Regino (Venezuela)

Comment by : Alfreda Harris Sunday, October 18, 2009

I actually read the ESPN Body Issue. You are a very beautiful black woman. I am in the process of becoming physically fit and you are the image that I have chosen to strive for. You are the true eipitome of having a real woman's body and you have proven that you do not have to be a size 0 to be beautiful.

Comment by : floarea Christian Sunday, October 18, 2009

Comment by : Guy Roberts Monday, October 19, 2009

Hey Serena, how are you? I'm fine, I forgot to mention how much I love your body type. I love it! Not everybody can be like Kim Kardashian, even if they do use an 'Ab-rocket'. I like you almost just like you are; (if you had a little more muscle you'd be perfect). So keep working out to achieve that perfection. Wish I could see more of ya. ♥ ♥ ♥

Comment by : Nancy Banda Monday, October 19, 2009

Oh my God Serena, you're hot my girl and the pic is absolutely lovely. Go for it and be one, one with a difference. Love you for being you

Comment by : Brett Smith Monday, October 19, 2009

Big news in sports related circles, as athletes will be getting "nekkid" for ESPN The Magazine. Sarah Reinertsen will appear nude on the cover of The Body Issue of ESPN The Magazine. The Body Issue will show off athletes, male and female, in the nude, with strategic cover. There are 3 alternate covers, one of Reinertsen, Serena Williams, and Gina Carano. Reinertsen is mostly known for distance races, routinely running marathons and Iron Man Triathlon events, and Carano is an Olympic Rower. (We all know who Serena is. She gets millions, and David Campese never got diddly squat, so to heck with tennis in general.) Oh, by the way – Reinertsen's also an amputee. Imagination apparently is too little, and getting a Playboy is too shameful. (It's a little more expensive too!) People who don't know about the internet might want same day payday loans for the issue.

Comment by : Timothy Chinembiri Monday, October 19, 2009

Hi Serena I am so happy for you. Please it up. To me this means you are too good for anything you do. On the tennis court you are too good and very strong. Please keep on training, I wish you the best. Thanks for the letter you send me with your updates. Stay cool and lots of love From Timothy

Hi Serena, I thought your cover photo was popping. It was so classy and soo sexy. Just loved it.

Comment by : Terry Yates Monday, October 19, 2009

You are and have always been a beautiful woman. As long as you know and believe that, who cares what other people will say. People are going to talk regardless of what you do. Keep doing what you doing.

Vee is a class act ... Serena is TRASH!

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Hey Re! You have PROVEN that you are a sexy, and beautiful woman outside and in. You have PROVEN that you are the #1 tennis player in the world. You have PROVEN to be a shrewd business woman. You and Vee have MADE history as the first black women to ever own a football stadium, or any stadium in the world. You have PROVEN to be very good at designing clothing and jewelry. What more is there Serena? Yes, there is one more thing that I would personally love to see you PROVE! Singleness is a gift. Baptism is a must. You know that in order for you to be able to cross over from this system into the new one, what you must do. Anyway, you need not do one more thing as far as showing your body to ANYONE who it's not owing. You are an intelligent, loving and caring, peacemaking, black woman. I want to see more of that side. You can help to heal the world Serena. You do this, by displaying that side of you. That is what is truly worthwhile. Outer beauty fades in time, but inner beauty and a spiritual mind is everlasting. Anything you did in the past is a learning experience, wether the outcome proves to be a good choice or not. Become full-grown in your powers of reasoning.

how are the anger management classes going. your rage is still remembered and your words, "i swear to god, i'm *** going to take this *** ball and shove it down your *** throat, you hear that? i swear to god.” … will be remembered girl. you showed your true inner self when you were threatening that linesperson. you have a few sheep here but not many.

Comment by : lydia D Monday, October 19, 2009

Is it really necessary to mention 'the incident' again? We are all aware of what was said. Your snide remarks doesn't exactly make you shine Ms. Thomas.

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Hey Rena, Tina Fowler is back under an assumed name.

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Ha Ha Ha! One thing about it, you can change the name, but your personality and writing style will always bleed through. Has Tina become Linda now?

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Hello. Linda? You want to play? Serena doesn't have to say a word. I think you want to play. Come on out. Let's talk. Are you lonely? Why did you say that? Was it necessary? Are you a hater of Serena? Why are you on this site if you are a hater? Are there any other sites that you can go to? Do you need some attention? Do you think they'll ever come a time when you will stop hating? When you saw how many were admiring Serena, did it you make you angry? Are you happy? I don't expect you to answer. Just thought I'd ask.

Comment by : Orcene Jenkins Monday, October 19, 2009

Serena was on Jay Leno tonite and he asked if she had talked with her dad about the ESPN cover she said no said maybe she would in a couple of years. Wonder why? Thought she was proud of the cover.

Comment by : David Berry Monday, October 19, 2009

You were beautiful. As I have always known you are. Very stylish and hip. Thank you.

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Orcene, when Serena was on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, she hinted that her father wasn't too pleased. Maybe she's starting to discern what her decision to do the cover, may have affected her father. She obviously didn't confer with him before she did it. Nevertheless, that is her father.

Comment by : lydia Lindquist Monday, October 19, 2009

Serena's dad loves her. That's very discernible to me. I am kind of pleased with him showing his displeasure. He's only trying to protect her. He knows what can crop up later in life do to this photo. Serena is young, and learning. She must learn to make decisions that won't come back and bite her later. Wisdom is proved righteous, by it works. Somewhere down the road, all of our decisions will prove wether our choices were wise or not. Love will cause you to discipline your children. In fact, Serena must know that Venus could affected in ways that she would never have imaged. Yes, they are sisters, and they love one another. Howevever, if they are business partners, and live together, either one of them could potentially make a decision that will impact BOTH of their lives forever.

Comment by : Benedict Achodo Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Hi Serena; This is to tell you that, you are a rare beauty, quite awesomely flashy, fascinating and indeed a "RARE GEM". Infact, I have seen women who are really beatiful, but yours' is something else. Infact it's really difficult for one to completely describe the quality of your beauty. But on the whole, I would like to say that you are indeed the best woman I have ever seen, your colour not witstanding. No wonder you are breaking grounds in all aspects of life wherever and when ever you lay your hands upon anything. You must be some wonder of God's creation. I'm absolutley fascinated at your Beauty and Class. Please keep it up. The other day, I sent you an e-mail stating that God laid in \my heart to tell you to immortalize your name by opening a school in AFRICA and do some other projects to appreciate God and to be as a trail- blazer and the "BEST WOMAN OF OUR GENERATION", Not knowing that this has already been in place. Pls forgive me, 'am just excited and grateful for beeing part of you. Thanks, Pls reply me if you dont mind. It's lots of love from Benrogxy.

Comment by : Iveta Zacharova Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Hi Serena! I hope all is well with you. I´m relatively well lol (relatively because it keeps getting monotone to me and when you realize that along with the gloomy cold autumn time so I´m more bored than tired everyday I think, so oh well) Ok, what I wanted to say is that I finished one book yesterday, it´s called The Klimt Kiss by the mystical picture „The Kiss“ by Gustav Klimt (anyways a great book, but unfortunately doesn´t exist in English), but what occurred me was the message of the book, and it was how great is to find and experience the higher level of communication, I mean that´s when people are able to understand each other even if they live on the opposite sides of the globe and they still can hear each other. It´s parable the way a pet speaks to its man or the mother to her unborn child. And what I realized is that the same way speaks some of your true fans to you. Yeah, :) They do not have to be with you every day or here or so, but they still hear you and love you because of you and not because you´re SJW. Don´t forget it!! Sorry, I felt I need to tell it to you.. well, now I wish you a great time and of course also good training. :) I.

Comment by : Helena Almeida Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Love it! Love it! LOVE IT!!!! What a wonderful photo of an beautiful, intelligent and strong woman. Now this is what a real woman looks like. Not like that skinny garbage you find in the fashion magazines. Keep doing what your doing, Serena. You make any woman proud! Helena Almeida

Ms. Red, please stop being so sanctimonious, and be more specific!

Comment by : Murtaza Yusuf Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Life is always about taking one decission and another. some are bad, some are good decisions! Weare all involved! LOL

Comment by : ABRAHAM JEB-TOA Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Serena,definately is a nice and lovely person.We do not all ve foreknowledge and times we make decisions that will transcend time.Here in africa anything happens,ex-convicts becoming leaders etc,but for America where the press are ur friends a moment and the next they are stabbing you on your back.I see and respect Serena like most American icons ie Bill Clinton,Abraham Lincoln,Hillary Clinton,Denzel Washington etc.As much as I respect her I ask what will Americans say when they wake up and find Michell Obama's nude picture on ESPN mag,because that is the way we see and respect our Serena.I lived oversea's as an African so I can understand the youthful exubberance at times.

Comment by : Guy Roberts Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Hi Serena, I really liked that pic you posted on Twitter. Tournaments, magazine covers, TV interviews; that’s all glamour, that snap shot of you on the training court is your real life. I asked to see move of you and you delivered, thanks for the real Serena pic. http://twitpic.com/m51fe

Comment by : Sammi Byers Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Perhaps now your dad will stop complaining about the lack (??!!) of press attention and race being a reason for it. Maybe he's the racist??????????

Lydia I don't know where u got the stuff on the Albino kids,I 'm a christian,Nigerian and work on missions.I use to ve friends albinos in school and they are all over our streets in Nigeria. Have u heard about the STOLEN GENERATION in Australia,APARTHEID in South Africa,SLAVE TRADE in Africa?Not only Africa it cuts across all races of the world,we all are responsible,at sometime we ve behaved bestial.That we all pray to express from our hearts the Love God gives through is son Jesus,that's the healing of the world.

Comment by : KERRY HAGANS Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Hey Serena, I love your photo and all of the photos in the mag. Laird Hamilton crack heel and Torry Holt deform finger are some of my favorites. But you, Ms. S. J. Williams, stole the show. People need to see different body images than the ones that we are bombarded with daily. Muscles and curves are sexy on a woman. Heres to people aspiring to be more healthy, not to a certain size or shape.

Comment by : Loette Cupid Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Serena, I am probably the oldest member of your fan club. I want you to know how proud I am of you and your family, especially Venus and your parents. I just finished reading your book. THank you for taking the time to share. I truly enjoy tennis, especially when the Williams' sisters are playing. Continue being who you are, doing what you are doing, and enjoy being young. Sincere love

I AM NOT MAD AT YOU SERENA!!!! I jus viewed the video of the making of the Body Issue! It was tasteful and not overdone! You looked great, so then... why not show off your body! You have worked hard to achieve your excellent form. Americans have so many hangups about their body...something God created in His own image! Keep doing what you and t thine own-self be true! God Bless you and your family! Char
