{blackbabes} Visions of Venus

Venus Williams is known for her style on the court, but her method of visualizing her tennis fashion line is surprising. She tells Departures magazine she uses Hello Kitty pads to sketch clothes for her line, Eleven by Venus. "I have a soft spot for all things Hello Kitty, and the notebooks are my sketch pads." Williams, who took home gold in women's doubles with sister Serena Williams at the Olympics, will celebrate the launch of her line at Rita Schrager's Southampton home tomorrow.
