Dear Sisters:
Why does Venus Williams insist upon wearing those awful tennis outfits? And, why doesn't she fix her hair? She and Serena are so very different? Venus is more like her parents and Serena is more refined.
Jena: Awful. Fix. Refined. Like. All of these words deal with conforming to a standard. Venus is one of the most successful young women in the world. She’s strong, confident, capable, articulate, gracious, passionate and successful. I wouldn’t change a thing about this young lady. I certainly wouldn’t quibble over fashion and coiffure.
Michele: I don’t follow tennis, so I haven’t really noticed what they wear. But I suppose maybe Venus wears what is comfortable to her—like my nice little workout pants are good for me although I don’t work out. And maybe she doesn’t fix her hair because she’ll only sweat out that expensive hairdo. That kinda would defeat the purpose, hmmm.
Elena: I think Venus is comfortable within herself. She has proven herself and it has nothing to do with how she appears to us fashion-wise.
TP (Our Guy): I see nothing wrong with what Venus wears. She designs her own tennis clothes and feels she looks good in them. I have not seen much of Venus off the court, but I'm sure she wears it the way she feels comfortable.
