Serena Williams in VIBE Magazine

Tennis superstar is in a photo shoot for VIBE this month. A snitch in the art department tells me that they Photoshopped the pictures to make Serena look more feminine — on orders of the owner, not Serena. Notice how thin she looks in the pics? Serena is a well-respected tennis star and all, but women with masculine features don’t sell magazines.

    If you ask me can you take a picture of me I’m gonna need you to actually use said picture and not insult the intelligence of my fans who know damn well I don’t look like that.

    But who asked me right?

    She looks great, fantastic, super fantastic but they know she ain’t this slim, tall yes, slim no, she looks like Venus. Speaking of Venus, I loves me some Williams’ sisters. They’re talented and well-spoken, as the white folks say, articulate! They could teach our young girls a thing or two! Such a class act, except the time Serena showed allllllllll her boobies in a red, cut-out dress. (I hoped she learned something from those pics) Anyhoo, go Serena, I ain’t mad at ya! Besides, she just won her 12th title winning the Aussie open, ! Go Serena go. This is what happens when you find your passion at an early age. Peace.

    @Lady justice, I’m beginnin to think she really DOESN”T know any better. You can only get it wrong so many times before even a tutor will tell you to withdraw from the class.

    Wow I said photoshop before I read what SR had to say. They went overboard. She’s had no problems selling mags in the past with her buffness so why chop her up now.

    Sidenote: I thought VIBE died during the recession? :shrugs:

    Yes! I said it was too early for that. I’m glad she got the texture and cut right. It was the color that was wrong. Slowly, they are getting there.

    i agree. this is just not EVEN serena. i can understand minor touchups for blemishes but this is a different person. i can’t believe serena would be happy with this.

    Photoshopping is so pointless…I mean what Vibe reader doesn’t already know what Serena REALLY looks like?? We all know that she’s “manly” looking. :rolleyes:

    The last pic is kind of nice, if you chop off the Foghorn Leghorn thing in her hair :chickenhead: . She has the face of a girl group member from the 60′s…

    in that first picture she’s got legs for days! her eyes look great in that closeup.

    i agree, they photoshopped her too much and she looks like a string bean. they could have toned her down without taking away her entire body shape.

    And fudge Vibe anyway!
    “…but women with masculine features don’t sell magazines.”

    Sandy, them LSLH, plastic booty, plastic tit-tay, rubber band head azz other hoes helped KING/XXL/Vibe to sell?!?!?
    Not even bad bitches can sell what these niggas see for free eryday. :coffee:

    Serena is beautiful without the photo shop. and black women are stacked… hello Venus Hotentot… the media’s view of beauty is warped….

    Where are the rest of her thighs? Why they photoshopping her to death? I like her body the way it is in real life, she’s one solid chick with incredible muscle definition, they need to leave her alone, not every one wants to see slimmed out anglo looking women, I know Common must like the way she looks.

    SangriaSugar says:

    WHY?? Vibe is wrong for photoshopping her like that…everybody does not need to be stick thin to be considered sexy!! True sexiness is in how you carry yourself as a woman not how skinny or naked you are. She is beautiful the way God made her…lets celebrate that!!

    I think these mags photoshop most celebs these days. But that’s too much!!!! My god, it’s not as if we don’t know what she really looks like. So, they really didn’t want Serena after all. She’s beautiful just as she is, shameful.

    I didnt’ read all the comments so I hope I’m not repeating what someone else said but I DONT LIKE IT! It’s nice for someone that looks like that yea. Everybody knows she built so why even ask her to do the cover if you dont want HER! I think is rude to alter someone so much! Just my 2c
