Did you know Beyonce was covered in glitter? The internet did.

Sooo, This Happened…

 I write about Beyonce with trepidation, because as of yet, I have not found any critical writing about this post, which in my opinion, deserves analysis. That being said, I am in no way interested in somehow singing the siren call for all her devout followers to ruin my life, because someone, somehow felt that I disrespected the Queen Bey. I mean no disrespect, actually how could I? Like anything I say could disrupt her carefully constructed life? And honestly, as opportunity after opportunity arose to examine her influence on pop culture, I have actively declined. I have unsettled and conflicting feelings about her position within the contemporary paradigm.  Do-Not-Get me wrong. I will jam to some Beyonce just like any other self-respecting individual, but her over-all message is one I read with caution. In many ways, she seems more dangerous to me because her camp is constantly on the look out for controversy and squelches it at the earliest opportunity. She’s throwing a lot of money out there to appear as thought she is flawlessly perfect. Which leads to the problem, when is she ever critiqued? In many ways, I find her just as controversial as coke sniffing child stars. 

But the real focus of this post is NOT my fear of Beyonce and her followers, but rather, to bring to your attention a series of decisions she made recently, namely, her photo story in Flaunt Magazine. The current issues bares a nude Beyonce covered in glitter, because really, what should be better than Beyonce covered in glitter? However, the whole thing seems odd to me. Here's a link to the article if you want to read it. And the images, harvested fromFlaunt's website, are below for you to enjoy. Comment if you dare...
