:eek: I hope that someone can post the pic, because I don't know how. So, here's the site: http://www.esquire.com/women/gallery/041101_mww_serena_frame.html?alias=%2Fwomen%2Fgall ery%2F041101_mww_serena_frame.html&x=6&y=7
And here's the story:
"Yeah, yeah. We know all about the 'ovas. The heirs to Kournikova. Sharapova and Hantuchova and all the lesser 'ovas, including that one 'eva. Yes, we appreciate the way they look in their clingy, scoop-cut dresses and their legs that go all the way to the ground and with their Marcia Brady hair all willowy. But come on. This is Serena's world.
She's the counterpoint. Look at her, in that denim skirt and those black boots. Or in that black studded halter, with a slash of chiseled midriff complete with barbell navel piercing. She is badass gunslinger stuff. Serena is booty incarnate.
The beef against her used to be that she was scary: too mighty, too showy, too arrogant, too off-putting for any of us to really get to know her. But have you watched her face lately? She seems, you gotta admit, happy. As her wardrobe shifts toward Barbarella's, Serena's personality has morphed as well. She charms, she flirts with announcers, she makes jokes. She unabashedly calls herself an "entertainer."
And, hell, she's due big sympathy after the disastrous Capriati match and its umpire's bizarre anti-Serena eyesight. Which only made us love her more. Even Serena's well-deserved tantrum was kind of sweet, containing the phrase "What the heck is this?" The 'ovas aren't quite ova. But Serena will outlast them all." --TOM CHIARELLA
