Trendy or Trashy?

I love to wear black on the court.  Red, not so much. Flesh-colored booty shorts with a flouncy lace overlay and matching corset top?  Not in this lifetime.  Having proclaimed my share of feminist manifestos over the years, I get it.  It's about expression, design, confidence, and the freedom to choose. As a liberated woman, I applaud Venus's right to sport this outfit in lace, tulle, or studded leather on the top of the Eiffel Tower and on the courts at Roland Garros.  That said, even though she's got game and guts, I think she missed her "make it work" moment here. Just sayin'....

Well, I loved how she had to keep adjusting her straps.....EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A POINT! Personally think she could design something a bit more coversome!

Think the black tennis spanks would have matched her outfit much better!

S: The theme Venus said she was going for was "illusion," which clearly means goin' bare-assed, buck naked, commando, or Paris Hilton...
