I SPORT FLY ISH, I SHOULD WIN AN ESPY...

BALLERZ & SHOT CALLERZ

Reprising their Sister Slam Show in the Wimbledon final after a five-year hiatus, Venus and Serena smacked big serves, hit hard strokes from all angles and chased down seemingly unreachable balls, like no one else does. Overcoming an early deficit, Venus beat Serena 7-5, 6-4 Saturday for her second consecutive title at the All England Club and seventh major championship overall. "I'm definitely more in tune with my sister's feelings because one of us has to win and one of us has to lose," the No. 7-seeded Venus said. "You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn't detract from that. But I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling." No. 6 Serena, meanwhile, was sullen as could be afterward, as though she had just finished losing to a stranger. Which, it turns out, was the way she tried to view Venus. That the champion's trophy stayed in the family did not ease the pain of defeat."It's definitely not any easier," Serena said. "I just look at her as another opponent at the end of the day." Said their mother and coach, Oracene Price: "Well, you know, she's going to have to learn how to suck things up. Say, 'OK, I'm not going to win everything.'"

DO YOU USE YOUR 'GIFT OF FEAR?'

(Oprah.com) -- If you heard there was a weapon proven to prevent most crimes before they happen, would you run out and buy it? World-renowned security expert Gavin de Becker says this weapon exists, but you already have it. He calls it "the gift of fear." One chapter in Gavin's book "The Gift of Fear" has stuck with Oprah since she first read it. The story of a woman named Kelly begins with a simple warning sign. A man offers to help carry her groceries into her apartment -- and instantly, Kelly doesn't like the sound of his voice. Kelly goes against her gut and lets him help her -- and in doing so, she lets a rapist into her home. "We get a signal prior to violence," Gavin says. "There are preincident indicators. Things that happen before violence occurs." Gavin says that unlike any other living creature, humans will sense danger yet still walk right into it. Gavin says that "eerie feeling" is exactly what he wants women to pay attention to. "We're trying to analyze the warning signs," he says. "And what I really want to teach today and forever is the feeling is the warning sign. All the other stuff is our explanation for the feeling. Why it was this, why it was that. The feeling itself is the warning sign."

I SPORT FLY ISH, I SHOULD WIN AN ESPY...

Posted by THE fly GIRL at 10:15 AM

The ESPY Awards went down last night in LA, with cutie JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE taking the reigns.

ASHANTI was there in a stunning summer gown. However, didn't House of Dereon do a frock just like this? Anywhoo, chic actually looked fly!
VENUS WILLIAMS looks bomb herslef. Perhaps that glow is from that $1 mil, she just copped?
Hmmm...I'd be cheesing too.

What is it about a Chocolate brotha in a cream suit? Mmmm. TYRESE, DEREK FISHER & T.O.

But I mean really T.O.? Really?

TOCCARRA rolled through, reppin the us thick sistas flawlessly. Well almost...
Boo? Did you forget to actually apply the lipstick? I mean you went through the trouble of lining them...

FORREST & KEISHA WHITTAKER were all smiles.
