Here I am with one of my idols, Serena Williams

She swung by the office yesterday and told us about all her amazing projects from HSN to her new skin products (the woman has the MOST gorgeous complexion) and the fact that she is writing a book and oh, yes, almost forgot, just opened a new school in Kenya for kids in need. Serena had beaten her big sis, Venus, the night before at Madison Square Garden, and I love how sweet and soft-spoken she is, as well as beautifully put together, the hair very Marilyn, the body strong and curvy and totally hot (yes, I can say that!) and her creative mind is always churning. She has designed a line of jewelry and it’s based on her favorite ring that she has worn for all of her matches, and in fact the pix of her holding trophies like the U.S. Open cup and the Olympic gold medal all are featuring this beautiful ring. (I got to try it on!) Serena tells that she hates it when people dis women for gaining a few pounds (she even defended Jessica Simpson against the court of public opinion) and she herself has been the subject of such barbs. Well, I can tell you that Serena is beautiful and real and creative and sweet and the fact that she can whip anyone’s butt in the sport she loves just makes her that much cooler.
