Looks like having a potty mouth won't hurt you too much. Serena Williams is one of 11 outstanding ladies Glamour magazine has chosen for its Women of the Year issue.

Serena Williams vs. Aunt Flo — Love It or Leave It?
While I think tampons sell themselves thanks to their life-changing qualities, Tampax has recruited tennis great Serena Williams to pitch their lady products in a new commercial. Dressed in her tennis whites, Serena has nothing to fear from Mother Nature, because she's also wearing a tampon! Over the years, companies have appealed to femininity or used the rhetoric of freedom to sell tampons to women.
This Week's Fab Faves
Blam! Charlize Theron doesn't need much to shine, but her crisp cobalt Dior frock at the Burning Plain premiere sure turned up her ferosh factor. However, she wasn't the only celeb deserving of an honorable mention.
How Do You Teach Your Children to Apologize?
Kids are like sponges, soaking up everything they see and hear and often repeating the negative at the most inopportune times. Any child who has been around a TV screen or computer monitor this week was likely to have absorbed some less-than-admirable behavior while hearing about the likes of Congressman Joe Wilson, tennis star Serena Williams and rapper Kanye West.
Rather than focus on these public figures' unfortunate actions, their transgressions give us an opportunity to discuss the importance of a meaningful apology to our offspring.

Peaches Geldof was at Anna Sui, while Michael Douglas was spotted at Narciso Rodriguez, and the Gucci event was attended by Mark Ronson, Estelle and Mary J Blige to name a few.
America: A Country For Rude People
High-profile incidents of rudeness have dominated the news cycle over the last week. The president of the United States can't give a speech without being heckled, Serena Williams lost her cool during the US Open, and yes, Kanye West acted like a "jackass" by interrupting Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech.
In today's New York Times, columnists David Brooks and Gail Collins weigh in on the decline of American manners.
Women and Anger: Serena's Outburst at the US Open
Anger in tennis is not without precedent: Jimmy Connors and John "Superbrat" McEnroe were criticized for their oncourt outbursts at linespeople when they didn't agree on a call; they were also beloved for their passion. But a couple days ago at the US Open when Serena Williams disputed a call by getting in the linesperson's face and allegedly telling her she wanted to shove a tennis ball down her throat, some people didn't think that her punishment was enough.
Williams was fined the on-site maximum $10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $500 for racket abuse, and her action caused her the match point.
