Well if you don't I'll give you a little nudge in the right direction. Same cover. Different faces.
It appears that Beyonce's face was photo shopped onto Alessandra Ambrosio's body. Same body position the exact same hands. Some contouring so Beyonce looked a little wider in the hip area but really...?! Do I look like Boo Boo da Fool?! Shame. Flag on the play. It's like the Vanity Fair skin lightening scandal all over again. But what really gets my goat...
1. Who in the heck said Beyonce is who all Black women aspire to be?! Yes she's young and successful and doing quite well for herself. But as the media portrays her [and yes I am a staunch proponent of "reality is perception] she's not a very nice person - just left her girls in the wind to do her solo thing - and she's not that personable - I'm not a big fan of the majority of her interviews. So when marketing to us who gave the okay for it to be all about Beyonce... I mean ok, better her than some people [Rihanna's crazy, suicidal behind], but is she really what our half of Black culture can most easily be whittled down to? But I digress...
2. If it is indeed the case that Beyonce is what we aspire to be why is the media so quick to try to alter her appearance. I've seen her nose changed, her skin changed, her hips changed... etc. She got popular and famous being Beyonce. Men fell in love with the thick chick doing the "Uh oh" dance and chicks were tryna get "Bootylicious" after she wrote that song. So why try to change her? She got famous looking the way she actually [and I use that term loosely... lol] looks.
Between butt and hip silicone injections/implants, pads to make your booty pop, and tanning beds - I'm gonna go with Beyonce is just fine the way she is. No skin lightening, hip contouring, waist slimming or face transplanting necessary...
