Serena Williams Nude: ESPN the Body Issue

Serena Williams Covers ESPN Magazine: The BODY Issue (Oh Yeah…Other Athletes Too)

Serena Williams covers ESPN Magazine’s The Body Issue…this is the first ever Body issue from the magazine which looks to make it a yearly edition of the magazine. The magazine also features different covers featuring different athletes from different sports including Dwight Howard from the NBA, Adrian Peterson of the NFL, female MMA fighter Gina Carano are of the 30 professional athlethes who will be posing nude or semi nude for the issue. Damn Serena…Appluad Common!

The magazine will show athletes on the field and off, and even in the operating room during knee surgery, said editor-in-chief Gary Belsky during a conference call Wednesday.

In one section called “Bodies We Want” top athletes either pose in the buff (with private parts strategically covered) or with minimal clothing. The section is “essentially our version of the best bodies in sports,” said Belsky.

The magazine has chosen six athletes (3 male and 3 female) from this section to appear on six different magazine covers. — source: USA Today
