Serena The Single Siren

Yeah, yeah, yeah, The Ordinary Girl didn't wanna believe it either. You know how we feel about Serena Williams and about Common in these parts. Basically we like them better together than apart.

But these things happen. And we still have plenty love for both. So you know we were clapping for Serena when she won Wimbledon this year. Doesn't she look dazzling in that dress.

Anyway, we picked up this excerpt from her interview with Harper's Bazaar:

"Another thing that's a challenge for Williams is maintaining a relationship, given her touring schedule. She was dating the rapper and actor Common, but they broke up in April. "His schedule is actually worse than mine," she sighs. "He didn't want the responsibility. It's really tough." Common then began promoting his latest film, heaping enough praise on Williams that people assumed they were still on. ("Beautiful, intelligent woman, fun and spiritual woman. I think she's an incredible person," he told Access Hollywood.)

Williams looks befuddled — befuddled but coquettish. "So I called him and I was like, Why are you saying all this stuff when we're not together?"

Probably because she looks so good."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Serena Far From Common

I know what you're thinking: Have Serena and Common broken up? You knew a thick racket wielding girl couldn't keep that bald headed fine specimen happy? Er, wrong! As far as theblagg cares to know, the two are happier than a barbie getting her boobs signed.

This post, blaggers and blaggets is about how amazingly fierce (go with me here) Serena Williams actually is. Plus she actually shaves her legs before she bares them in front of a camera. This disapproving look is aimed at you Mo'Nique. SMH.



The truth is, not many people like to see celebrities dating real women. Real in this case meaning bigger than Miley Cyrus' pinkie. It's no secret that theblagg appreciates all people in all shapes and er, sizes but it's also no surprise that anyone who doesn't resemble Beyonce in the vacay photo ops isn't considered beautiful just because they are built more like an Amazon Woman instead of Twiggy.

When Serena appeared on the Body Issue of ESPN Magazine, these mean internet streets had a lot to say. But who cares what obese and irrelevant people who spend their days typing away and living vicariously through other people think?



Now of course this has turned more into a rant than a celebration of a black woman's individuality. But you get the point. Serena Williams is a beautiful person with an amazing body. And if you can't see all that then shut up your face because she can still show off all sorts of PDA with Common by her side. What do you have? Don't worry, I'll wait.
