Hot views from the rooftop are always sexy. Hanging out in the bedroom or even the kitchen can be a relaxing and a wonderful setting, but taking the action to the rooftop can be an incredible experience. Would you agree?

In Ridiculous Tattoo News… Fan Gets VERY LARGE Floyd Mayweather Tattoo [Photo]http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/16/in-ridiculous-tattoo-news-fan-gets-very-large-floyd-mayweather-tattoo-photo/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/16/in-ridiculous-tattoo-news-fan-gets-very-large-floyd-mayweather-tattoo-photo/#comments Thu, 16 May 2013 14:30:00 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17911 WTF Ridiculous Fan Floyd Mayweather Tattoo Photo Fail

Fake, Photoshopped, or pure foolishness, a tattoo of your favorite sports figure is ridiculous under any circumstances. Tattoos are supposed to have meaning and we get it; however, does a tattoo of a sports figure who is a stranger that really doesn’t care much about you make sense?

Over the years we have seen some interesting (for lack of a better word) tattoos including that crazy face tattoo we posted a few months ago. Recently, an overzealous Floyd Mayweather fan took the term fanatical to new heights when he got a mural of his favorite boxer on his back. Not only did this guy get a very large tattoo of Floyd with his title belt, but he seemed to ink a mural of the “Money” Mayweather lifestyle in Sin City. He went all out and even included the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, the MGM hotel, a roulette table, the iconic Hard Rock Hotel & Casino guitar sign, and the historic route 66 sign.

Getting a tattoo across your back isn’t exactly the smartest idea especially considering what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas. Luckily, Floyd Mayweather appreciates all his fans.

The Scion Experience: All New 2014 tC & Limited Edition 10 Serieshttp://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/14/the-scion-experience-all-new-2014-tc-limited-edition-10-series/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/14/the-scion-experience-all-new-2014-tc-limited-edition-10-series/#comments Wed, 15 May 2013 03:41:14 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17890 Scion 10 Series FRS1

Since launching in 2010, Mankind Unplugged has had a lot of unique opportunities to bring our readers the freshest takes from the worlds of lifestyle, music, fashion and more. While we have been awarded a lot of great opportunities throughout the years, few have been more exciting- or rewarding- than an invitation we were extended last week by famed auto manufacturer Scion. To celebrate their 10-year anniversary, the company invited us to a special media event held at the luxurious W Hotel in Hollywood to test-drive models from their limited edition 10 Series and the new 2014 tC.

Scion 10 Series Family 001

To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Scion will launch the 2014 tC and a limited-production version of each vehicle in its lineup called Scion 10 Series, all of which premiered earlier this spring at the New York Auto Show, and will hit dealerships near you this June. The limited edition Scion 10 Series includes the xB, xD tC, iQ and the FR-S (our personal favorite, which we’ll get to later). Incredibly, only 10,000 total models in the Scion 10 Series will be released in 2014, meaning that if you’re planning on purchasing one, you better get to your dealership quickly.

Scion FRS 2013

If you are interested in the 10 Series, well, the limited edition models offer a number of unique features, which have never been seen on any Scion before. Specifically, each is equipped with a 6.1 inch LCD touchscreen for music and media display.

Speaking of that touchscreen and the special features of the Scion 10 Series, it leads perfectly into our experience at the Scion event last week. There, we had access to three exclusive presentations to better understand Scion as a company and what makes the 2014 models their best yet. Of the three presentations, the most extensive came via the “Scion Optimization” panel, in which the company detailed those previously mentioned new features on the latest models. The most fascinating of those features came via their audio settings. All cars are equipped with standard audio; however, they anticipate consumers will favor the cutting-edge premium audio options that are new to the 2014 models.

For those wondering what those features include, they start with Scion’s “BeSpoke” Audio System. BeSpoke has an iPhone app which allows consumers to consolidate all of their social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Yelp) into one place, and BeSpoke’s “Aha Technology” allows Scion owners to do the same with music. Specifically, the Aha technology lets users sync their favorite music and radio stations into one easy to use application via the LCD touchscreen on their dash. Meaning that Scion owners can have easy access to all their favorite jams, without having to fidget with the radio dial while driving.

In addition to the Scion Optimization presentation, Mankind Unplugged had access to two additional panel discussions. The first was what Scion called their “Retail Difference,” a detailed explanation of what makes Scion one of the most customer-friendly brands on the entire car market. We also learned about Scion’s unique “Pure Pricing” initiative, which has been in place for years and will continue with the 2014 models.

2014 Scion tC

Curious about “Pure Pricing?” Well, it’s essentially what it sounds like. Scion guarantees that the price you see in advertisements and promotions is exactly what you’ll pay when you walk in the door. In a practical sense what Pure Pricing really means is that Scion sells their cars to dealerships at a certain price, with the explicit understanding that the dealer will then sell them to the consumer at one, flat price as well.

The reason Scion implemented the Pure Pricing platform is simple: After consulting with consumers, the company realized that car buyers wanted less hassle and less negotiation when they showed up to purchase cars at the dealership. “Pure Pricing” allows for exactly that, and features a “Monospec” philosophy as well, which allows for buyers to customize their ride with hundreds of different individualized features, to go along with all the high-level standard equipment that comes with the cars.

Of all the presentations the most interesting may have been the third and final one, titled “Scion & The Arts” which detailed the company’s lifestyle and marketing strategies. In a lot of ways the concept behind the presentation makes sense, since when you purchase a Scion you’re not just getting a car, but a “lifestyle” as well. That’s because since opening its doors in 2003, Scion has made it their mission to target a younger group of consumers; the average Scion owner is just 37-years-old.

Over the last decade, Scion has undoubtedly practiced what they preached. They’ve always focused their efforts on the arts and the creative community, first by targeting the hip hop and graffiti cultures, before moving to the electronic, fine arts, metal, dubstep, and later the dance demographics. Most recently Scion has shifted their focus to entrepreneurs and the owners of small business.

To further our understanding of lifestyle marketing, we got a chance to meet and mingle with one Scion’s brand ambassadors, Levi Maestro, at one of Scion’s A/V Installation galleries, an event designed to help identify and nurture up-and-coming talent. Maestro has made a name for himself through the years with his online web show “Maestro Knows,” and as an avid skateboarder, he fits Scion’s lifestyle brand to a tee. Beyond Maestro, Scion also is coordinating future projects with some of the top names in music including A$AP Rocky, Trinidad James, SSUR, Sage Vaughn. Scion also recently designed a customized car for a favorite of Mankind Unplugged, Steve Aoki.

Finally, Mankind Unplugged would be remiss if we didn’t mention our personal favorite experience of the event, test-driving the FR-S model. While consumers are understandably excited about all the models (especially the tC) there was something about the FR-S that got our personal engine revved up. The FR-S recently won SEMA’s “Hottest Sport Compact” award and in 2012 Kelley Blue Book labeled the FR-S “The Coolest Car Under $25,000.”

Frankly, it’s not hard to see why. After test-driving both the manual and automatic transmission models, we can assure you that while the FR-S may have all the amenities of a luxury car, it backs it up with the power found in the best sports car on the road. Simply put, our experience with Scion was fun-filled, and the brand along with its models come highly recommended by Mankind Unplugged.

Rita Ora And Cara Delevingne: “Facemelt – The Remix” Videohttp://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/14/rita-ora-and-cara-delevingne-facemelt-the-remix-video/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/14/rita-ora-and-cara-delevingne-facemelt-the-remix-video/#comments Tue, 14 May 2013 22:13:06 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17882 rita ora cara delevingne facemelt remix video 3

It started with Hunger TV’s Issue Four when cover star Rita Ora stepped into the Hunger TV studio back in January to film her exclusive Dirty Video for ‘Facemelt.’ Since that time we have seen a bunch of cryptic messages and photos of Rita and new it girl, model Cara Delevingne.

rita ora cara delevingne facemelt remix video 4

For the last few months there has been a lot of speculation about Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne relationship. What we do know is they have become fast BFFs. Rita and Cara have been inseparable since meeting last year and refer to each other as ‘wifey,’ so to see them get a little closer in the remix version of Rita’s video for ‘Facemelt’ is not a surprise. After all, they both went out and got tattoos around the same time.

VIDEO: Facemelt – The Remix

rita ora cara delevingne facemelt remix video

Tattoos, videos, late nights, and more. The couple (BFFs) that parties together should definitely stay together, right? When asked about Cara Delevingne, Rita was quoted as saying, “I have no time for the opposite sex at the moment. Strictly none. I’ve only got a wifey!” She also said, “She’s officially mine. She’s, like, untouchable. I’ve taken her off the market. We call each other ‘wifey’…” If you are anything like us we are curious to see how this relationship will works end.

Two words, OLD SCHOOL! You have to be a man of a certain age to know about the Nike Cortez. First released in 1968 and originally called the Tiger Corsair, the Cortez was later re-released and re-named in 1972 when it was introduced during the Olympics as a track shoe. The Cortez was originally designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, a legendary collegiate level track coach. Over it’s 40 year history the Nike Cortez has risen to iconic status becoming a classic collectable sneaker.

Originally a running trainer, the Cortez has become more of a classic collectable sneaker. The Cortez featured in the photo above is made of a premium black leather upper and features a two-toned foam sole with a woven Nike brand on the tongue. The red leather Nike swoosh branding is on the side.

Would you add this classic Nike Cortez in black and red to your sneaker collection? Available via Size?. Retail $100.00 (£65.00)

NBC’s ‘The Blacklist’ With James Spader [Trailer]http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/13/nbc-the-blacklist-with-james-spader-trailer/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/13/nbc-the-blacklist-with-james-spader-trailer/#comments Mon, 13 May 2013 15:57:36 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17854 NBC the Blacklist James Spader

Known for playing cynical and arrogant character roles, James Spader will star in The Blacklist as the world’s most wanted criminal who turns himself in and give up all the criminals he has ever worked with. In exchange for information on all his partners in crime his only request is to work with a new female FBI agent that he has no connection with. The show title “The Blacklist” refers to the criminals, terrorists, mobsters, and international spies, that James Spader’s character “Red” will work with the FBI to take down.

VIDEO: NBC’s The Blacklist Official Trailer

The hit show The Blacklist was added to NBC’s new fall schedule. Yes, we called it a hit. From the trailer this show is sure to become an instant classic and we predict it could possibly be one of NBC’s highest rated shows. You may be saying to yourself who are we to judge. Don’t take our word for it, watch the trailer and do a Google search to read what people have to say about the show.

The Blacklist will air on Mondays at 10PM following The Voice.

Pushing, Shoving, Blocking: Bulls’ Nazr Mohammed And Nate Robinson Show LeBron James Who’s The Bosshttp://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/11/pushing-shoving-blocking-bulls-nazr-mohammed-and-nate-robinson-show-lebron-james-whos-the-boss/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/11/pushing-shoving-blocking-bulls-nazr-mohammed-and-nate-robinson-show-lebron-james-whos-the-boss/#comments Sat, 11 May 2013 21:28:09 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17840 Nazr Mohammed Shove LeBron James

When we first saw Chicago Bulls center Nazr Mohammed shove LeBron James the first thought we had was NOT Nazr. There is a good reason why Nazr has been in the league for nearly 15 years; he’s a good guy. Yes, there will always be a need for a big body in the NBA, but a player like Nazr is invaluable. Nazr is a good locker room guy. More important, he is the kind of guy that mentors young teammates and lifts the team. So, if he is such a good guy you may be asking how did he loose his cool. It’s simple; Sometimes you need to show people (even a superstar) that you aren’t having it. After LeBron pushed Nazr and he shoved him down to the court he sent such a message. Both players received technical fouls and Nazr was ejected with 9:29 left in the 2nd quarter.

VIDEO: Nazr Mohammed Ejected For Shoving Lebron James

James would later say “”I’m here to play basketball…” LeBron also said, “It definitely surprised me that he [Nazr Mohammed] pushed me like that.”


VIDEO: Nate Robinson Blocks LeBron James Shot

“You see LeBron in a lot of commercials, a lot of good acting,” Nate Robinson said after the questionable 5’9 guard blocked LeBron’s shot as he was driving to the basket. LeBron James and the Miami Heat went on to win 104-94 and take a 2-1 victory in the NBA Eastern Conference playoff series.

America’s Favorite Bombshell Kate Upton Covers Vogue [Photos & Video]http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/11/americas-favorite-bombshell-kate-upton-covers-vogue-photos-vide/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/11/americas-favorite-bombshell-kate-upton-covers-vogue-photos-vide/#comments Sat, 11 May 2013 13:27:57 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17827 Kate Upton Vogue Covers

Is Kate Upton America’s favorite bombshell? We can’t give you a definitive answer, but Vogue sure seems to believe she is. Vogue acknowledges Kate’s “killer curves,” but they seem to believe that she has much more to offer including old-fashioned ambition, digital-age savvy, and personality to burn. Killer boobs and the “it” girl right now, sure; old-fashioned ambition… well. Below is an excerpt from the article. We will let you be the judge on whether or not Kate is truly the girl of the moment.

Kate Upton Vogue Cover Photos 7

READ: The Kate Upton Effect: America’s Favorite Bombshell

EXCERPTS

The fact that Upton has become our Girl of the Moment is all the more remarkable given that she’s done it in her own digital-age way. She wasn’t championed, early on, by a photographer like Steven Meisel or David Sims. Riccardo Tisci didn’t put her on the runway at Givenchy à la Joan Smalls. She even bypassed the Victoria’s Secret runway show—which has proved to be a launching pad for the likes of Candice Swanepoel and Miranda Kerr. Instead, Upton has accumulated Sports Illustrated covers and buzzy television ads and—above all—has made canny use of social media.

The Upton legend begins on YouTube. She broke out in 2011, dancing to Cali Swag District’s “Teach Me How to Dougie” in footage shot by a friend at a Clippers game—her appeal a mix of blonde bombshell and homespun girl next door. (The video has two million views and counting.) A subsequent clip was more risqué: Upton dancing the Cat Daddy in a skimpy bikini for Terry Richardson—and yet here, too, she’s goofy, disarming, improbably wholesome (that video has nearly sixteen million hits). Meanwhile she’s a regular on Twitter (more than 900,000 followers), and was an early adopter of the video-sharing app Vine. “It’s just me sharing my life,” she says about tweeting. “I like it if it’s authentic and in the moment and happening.” Growing up, she adds, “I didn’t buy the magazines that had models on the covers, because I didn’t know them. So I think this kind of gives me, as a model, a personality that people can connect with.” It seems to be working. In 2012, she was the fourth-most-popular search on Yahoo—just behind Election, iPhone5, and Kim Kardashian.

What makes the Kate Upton era so unlikely is that the things we love about her—those curves! that personality!—defy what the word model has come to mean, at least on the runway: a seemingly endless procession of lanky, expressionless wraiths. That is most certainly not Upton’s profile. (Descriptions of her figure tend to involve euphemisms for a single word: breasts.) And yet Upton’s body has sparked debate. This year’s Sports Illustrated cover—a shot of her in Antarctica, parka open to reveal a stunning breadth of cleavage—set off a fresh round of “Is she fat?” conversations across the Internet. “It was hard at first,” she admits of hearing such rumblings. “You sit there and you’re like ‘Is something wrong with me?’ ” But she’s learned to ignore her critics—and come to regard her healthy body as a point of pride. “The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.”

Top 10 Picks From Maxim Hot 100 2013 Listhttp://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/10/top-10-picks-from-maxim-hot-100-2013-list/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/10/top-10-picks-from-maxim-hot-100-2013-list/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 14:28:22 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17809 Maxim Hot 100 Bar Paly tp picks

Maxim Magazine believes with “absolute certainty that before you lies the definitive list of the world’s sexiest women.” We say bull sh*t! Cough… The list was “supposedly” voted on by the fans. With so many questionable choices including Hoda Kotb at #79, Emma Watson at #19 (as if she is hot), Miley Cyrus in the top spot, and Manti Te’s's fake girlfriend at 69, we aren’t sure that Maxim’s Hot 100 list is… real. What we do know is the list is refreshing. There are many familiar faces on their 2013 list, but what we appreciate the most is that they have introduced an entirely new corp of hotties.

Maxim’s top 30 include:

#30 Hayden Panettiere
#29 Ronda Rousey
#28 Olivia Munn
#27 Danielle Fishel
#26 Demi Lovato
#25 Katrina Bowden
#24 Blake Lively
#23 Heather Graham
#22 Christina Hendricks
#21 Emma Stone
#20 Megan Fox
#19 Emma Watson
#18 Arianny Celeste
#17 Jessica Alba
#16 Olivia Wilde
#15 Scarlett Johansson
#14 Beyonce
#13 Taylor Swift
#12 Kate Beckinsale
#11 Katy Perry
#10 Elisha Cuthbert
#9 Vanessa Hudgens
#8 Kate Upton
#7 Ashley Tisdale
#6 Jennifer Love Hewitt
#5 Jennifer Lawrence
#4 Mila Kunis
#3 Rihanna
#2 Selena Gomez
#1 Miley Cyrus

After thoroughly reviewing their list we decided to narrow it down to our top 10 picks. Like with the Maxim Hot 100 list we included some well-known faces; however, we decided to mix it up and add a few new girls that have never been featured on Mankind Unplugged. Check out our list and let us know what you think. Did we pick some hot sexy chicks or what?

Sexy Photo: Hitchhiking Never Looked So…http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/07/sexy-photo-hitchhiking-never-look-so/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/07/sexy-photo-hitchhiking-never-look-so/#comments Tue, 07 May 2013 13:23:10 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17797 Sexy Photo Hitchhiker Hitchhiking

We wonder where she is going. Las Vegas perhaps? This chick makes hitchhiking look sexy. What man or woman would pass this girl up on the highway? Women would probably try and run her over just because, but like we said no one would pass her up. Would you agree? If anything everyone would stop to… look.

Top 10 Picks From FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women In The World 2013http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/03/top-10-picks-from-fhms-100-sexiest-women-in-the-world-2013/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/03/top-10-picks-from-fhms-100-sexiest-women-in-the-world-2013/#comments Fri, 03 May 2013 23:38:50 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17774 fhm 100 sexiest women in the world

Once again FHM counted down what they believe to be the 100 sexiest women in the world and once again they forgot to ask Mankind Unplugged our opinion, so we are going to offer it anyway. Like last year, their list is impressive, but we are required by nature to put a spin on it. Yes, we judge other women; that’s what women do.

In 2012 FHM committed the biggest sin (in our eyes) and listed Pippa Middleton #11 and Adriana Lima #45 on their list as if a Brit would ever be hotter than a Latina bombshell. This year, we feel like they dropped the ball and committed a great error by only ranking Sofia Vergara 100 on their list. Sofia may be older than most if not all the chicks on their list (except Jennifer Aniston), but she still deserves to be at the very least in the top 30. The one thing that they did get right was NOT listing Kim Kardashian in their top 30. Yes, they have her listed at 38 and we would have to agree.

To help FHM right their wrong we have put together our top 10 list. If you are looking for the expected, don’t. Megan Fox did not make our top 10. Hopefully, we got it right. What do you think?

Honorary Hotness – Megan Fox
Because you can’t deny that Megan is still one of the sexiest and hottest girls in the game we had to give her an honorable mention.

Miley Cyrus Flashes Boobs, A** Crack, And Wears Men’s Undies For V Magazine Cover Shoot [NSFW]http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/02/miley-cyrus-flashes-boobs-butt-crack-and-wears-mens-undies-for-v-magazine-cover-shoot-photos-nsfw/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/02/miley-cyrus-flashes-boobs-butt-crack-and-wears-mens-undies-for-v-magazine-cover-shoot-photos-nsfw/#comments Thu, 02 May 2013 13:24:55 +0000 Unplugged Staff http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17752 Miley Cyrus V Magazine Photos

Who knows what goes on in the mind of a former Disney kid, but what is clear is the majority of them meet adulthood in a raunchy way. A few months ago Miley Cyrus was wearing unicorn onesies, twerking, and shaking her rump all over the place. Since making her twerking debut Miley has answered the call to take it all off.

Miley isn’t even legal (she’s only 20) and she has already stripped down for the world to see. Covering not one but three issues of V Magazine, Miley decided to show a whole lot of skin during the photo shoot shot by famed photographer Mario Testino. One photo shows Miley flashing her backside and in another photo for the spread she cuffs one of her boobs.

The cover story is appropriately called ‘The Emancipation of Miley.’ During her interview conversation with Pharrell Williams she says of her emancipation, “I’m going to change, I’m going to be different, I’m going to do what I want to do. I chopped my hair and bought a pair of Docs and never looked back.”

Check out the photos below and let us know what you think of the emancipated Miley. Is she a keeper?

Venus Williams Talks Fitness, Eating Habits and Jamba Juice At The Pop-Up FiTrends Expohttp://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/01/venus-williams-talks-fitness-eating-habits-and-jamba-juice-at-the-pop-up-fitrends-expo/ http://mankindunplugged.com/2013/05/01/venus-williams-talks-fitness-eating-habits-and-jamba-juice-at-the-pop-up-fitrends-expo/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 23:24:08 +0000 Tam-Star http://mankindunplugged.com/?p=17739 Venus Williams FiTrends Expo Jamba Juice 1Photo Credit: Star Walker

One of the perks of writing about men’s lifestyle is often times we are invited to some very cool events with some very cool women. Mankind Unplugged recently had the wonderful opportunity to get fit and work out with Jamba Juice, tennis star Venus Williams and some of the biggest fitness influencers from around the blogosphere. The day was filled with fun, fitness, food and a bunch of girls in workout clothes.

It started with a bang and a bucket of sweat. Before we went through a variety of fitness bootcamps with the Jamba Pop-Up FiTrends Expo instructors, we had an opportunity to taste some of Jamba Juices new and very tasty flavors, including Tropical Harvest, a fresh new addition to Jamba Juice’s Fruit & Veggie Smoothie line. It’s a tasty fusion of mangos, peaches, passion mango juice and vegetable juice (butternut squash, sweet potato and carrot) with ice…and it’s delicious.

Jamba Juice kept with the theme of the day, encouraging everyone to “Live Fruitfully,” by treating participants to a variety of Jamba Juice treats between workouts. The very enjoyable snacks included steel-cut oatmeal, freshly squeezed juice and smoothies. We also had time for fun with the photo booths and hanging out with Tony Horton, creator of P90X (and pretty hilarious guy in his own right).

The FiTrends Expo showcased some of the latest trends in fitness, including Piloxing (Pilates + Boxing), LaBlast, Broadway Bodies and our favorite, Bokwa. Before we headed over to a question and answer luncheon hosted by Jamba Juice, Venus also got in on the action and lead the final workout session along with her trainer, where she shared some of her tennis fitness techniques

Venus, who owns three Jamba Juice stores in Bethesda, MD and two in DC, was the quintessential professional the entire day. Over lunch she told us about her top fitness tips and secrets, as well as her love for design and art. We didn’t get a chance to ask her about her upcoming documentary “Venus and Serena,” but she answered questions about her fitness and eating habits.

What are some of the coolest trends in terms of workouts and food?

I would say juicing is huge. A lot of people are just more aware of what they’re putting in their bodies, people from all walks of life (regardless of) where they’re from or where they are. I would also say raw (eating) is getting a lot more (popular).

You’ve been at the top of tennis for what feels like forever. How have your training and fitness changed from 10 or 15 years ago to now?

When I was a teenager, I’d like, forget to eat. It’d be like three or 4 o’clock, and I’d be like ‘Oh, I’m supposed to eat.’ Now I can’t possibly do that or I’d have no energy. So that’s a huge change.
Also as you get older, as you get wiser and looking for ways to improve your performance, you try to look at different options, try different things. When you’re a professional athlete you never reach what you think to be the top, so you’re always looking for nutrition and wellness ways to get there.

How many times do you work out a week? Also, how do you keep your hair looking good with how much you work out?

Well, that’s a complicated question! Working out is my whole life. I even have to decompress from working out. Whether it’s having a week off, I’m (almost) brainwashed and wired for workouts. So we’re talking five or six days a week. So when we’re playing Wimbledon, it’s like three weeks in a row without a break. (Of course) That means you’ve won your match!

For the hair, you have to ‘Fake it, til you make it!’ I don’t have a secret formula, I’m sorry!

When you’re on the road, how do you eat right and stay healthy? You obviously don’t have the time to eat right and prepare your food, what do you do to stay nutritious when you’re traveling, on the road and on the tour?

On the road it’s hard if you aren’t prepared. I like to try and have my meals ready for when I’m on the plane and traveling, things like that, because in the airport there are no healthy food options. It’s very difficult. So I think the best thing is to be prepared and have a game-plan. That’s what I try to do. I have help with my food (from trainer Samantha Monus) that kind of thing. Also because my diet is more specialized (Venus was recently diagnosed with autoimmune disease) it’s a little more difficult for me to get that I need. So a lot of it I’ll bring on the road I’ll bring my sprouts and wheatgrass with me, try to find sprouts on the road. If we’re in exotic places we’ll try to find other cool stuff that we can’t find here. It’s fun!

What do you eat before a match? Do you have fuel during, at all? Do you do sports drinks or gels or anything to keep your endurance up?

For me, I’m not a foodie, so for me eating is a challenge. If I could live off fruit drinks and smoothies I would be an extremely happy person. Since I don’t like food a lot, I will eat and eat enough before my matches so that I have enough energy. I usually eat enough to fuel myself for the entire match, but lately I’ve been doing like, beat and orange juice (drinks) on the court with electrolyte (drinks). That’s my latest thing. I’ll do the protein thing on the court, green juices, green waters on the court as well.

That’s my routine. Because I don’t eat a lot, it’s hard.

Do you have a heavy meal before a match?

I’ll have pasta, rice, those kinds of things. I like to have something heavy, just because in a long match if you run out of gas you stop being prepared. You try to be prepared all the time.

You said you have a specialized diet, can you just expand on that?

Recently I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and so there are a lot of things I need to not have a lot of, including sugar and to reduce the amount of meat I eat. I’ve gone heavy on raw vegetables and things like that.

It’s a lot more specialized for me now. It’s hard for me–especially at hotels—for me to find the things I need to make me feel good.

Can you break down the amount of meals you eat on a competition day and then on a non-competition day as well?

A non-competition day that’s like a day off, so if I’m not doing anything I’ll just have green juice in the morning, a wheatgrass shot with ginger, protein shake, various things. Sometimes I’ll just take whatever (fruits/vegetables) is left and I’ll throw it in a blender with protein so I don’t waste anything.

For me that’s enough. Sometimes I’ll eat heavy in the afternoon but then won’t eat much for dinner. Like I said, I’m a light eater. Definitely on a practice day or competition day I’ll eat a lot more.

What do you plan to do when you retire and how did you get involved with buying franchising Jamba Juices?

I always wanted to pursue my interest off the court my whole career. That’s what I was taught as a young person is not to just be an athlete because as an athelete it’s who you are and what you do all day before you can remember, so once it is all over it can be very overwhelming. Thankfully I have been able to get into other things off the court and Jamba Juice has been one of them. It’s a blessing actually. It’s been exciting to own stores and see them grow as well as see people make healthy choices. It’s been great. Also, I have EleVen and V*Starr Interior Design. I just love arts in general.

Are you integral at all in running the shops?

Yes, and my sister Lyn is here as well and she knows everything there is to know about running a Jamba Juice. It’s extremely helpful. It’s also great to have a great team around you. It’s all about the team and not the one person. Family is also a great team.
