“Maybe because Maria has more international appeal, that is to say more international companies prefer her to represent their products and services than Serena.”

Cut the reasoned logic crap. ;)

Bingo.

And not, it’s not racism. I’ll need to mention looking lustfully at a woman (and thus in Our Lord’s judgement committing adultery with her in my heart) at my next confession, because I attended at bit too much to a smokin’ hot young woman with skin the color of 85% cacao dark chocolate walking across the parking lot of a store I was shopping at this afternoon. If Serena looked like her, she’d have pulled in the big endorsement bucks, too.

“But Serena looks aggressive and manly ... not a turn on to most men. “

I would think it is because Maria appeals to a larger portion of the Tennis gear and other markets.

One looks like She-Hulk? The other looks like the picture next to the word ‘hot’ in the dictionary?

Cannot imagine her father is too pleased about her dating choices nor does she bring them home!
