I watched her videos about her CD last year. She talks about her vision for the CD and the videos. Some of the way she portrayed herself was because she was proud at how much work she put in to get her body down to size after giving birth. Beyonce is quite focused on her physical appearance, works her ASS off (literally and figuratively) to stay in shape, construct this image, so she is fine being sexualized.
OTOH, her CD has at least 2 songs where she seems to acknowledge her conflicted feelings around sexualization.
She is corporate, she is a brand, she wants to make $$. I am not sure I consider her a problem above and beyond US culture in general. What she is though is a rare Black woman who has been able to be this successful.
So I kind of feel like she gets so much ink over her public persona because people are critiquing US culture, without acknowledging how rarely Black women are thought of as desirable. So we are locked into this weird space where of course Bey is objectified, but all women are objectified.
Most Black women are not desired, but Bey is. Bey is making $$ where few of us can't. So Bey is a terrorist?
Should all Black women entertainers be Tracy Chapman? Then too, objectification is what it is whether we are wearing a dress, a slip, or whatever.
She is corporate, she is a brand, she wants to make $$.
She's not a businessman, she's a business,
man.

I wonder if someone has done a study on how much time people with serious illnesses spend on the damn phone?

double checking with doctor's offices, talking to nurses who didn't know two other nurses had just called with the same update, finding out Office 1 has scheduled something the same time Office 2 has scheduled something . . .
I don't think HIPAA laws are supposed to stop a clinic from communicating with staff inside itself.
On today's episode of Paternity Court (DON'T JUDGE ME), there's a child named J'Adore.
I regularly watch TATTOO NIGHTMARES, so I have not much dignity to judge you by.
Lately I've been going to the gym when Judge Alex is on. I will neither confirm nor deny that I deliberately time it that way.
I feel like I've been in a slapfight with my inbox since I got in this morning, and I'm rapidly losing the ability to can.
Dana, how do they pronounce it?
