Serene is just one of those women who are LITERALLY as beautiful inside as she is without. And boy, oh boy, is this woman a stunner! That is, IF you are fond of striking good looks, lightning quick smile and wicked, wicked style. Add to that, buckets of warmth and wit and charms, with her penchant for fringe, and you've got yourself one gorgeous mama-rama.

MONDAY MUSES: Rowdy Ronda

I'm not a sports person, you know. More prone to dig around dirt in the garden, pet kittens, read fashion magazines than to do uh, things athletic, and I don't normally watch many sports. I'm a big softy, a bleeding heart type, so you won't be surprised that I particularly don't care to watch fighting sports. You might be surprised then to know, I am a big fan of Ronda Rousey.
