Downton Abbeyoncé: The Best Tumblr Created in 2012 (So Far)
What do you get when you take the most talked about sudsy high-brow, class-driven show with the most talked about “Bootylicious” baby mama of the moment? You get Downton Abbeyoncé, the best Tumblr site that fuses stills from Downton Abbey with lyrics diva growled by Beyonce. I have now found what I shall be reading...
Finer Feed: The Return of ‘Mad Men’, Beyonce births, Madonna’s new album gets a name
It’s that time of the week again — it’s time to check out news that I have skillfully plucked from my Facebook and Twitter feed. Enjoy. Mad Men. March 25. I’ll be there like a pocket square. [Vulture] Beyonce gives birth to Blue Ivy, the rest of the world rejoices while B ruins the lives...
Workout song of the week: Love on Top by Beyonce
Now that everyone has pulled out their wedgie over Beyonce’s “Countdown” choreography inspired by/rip-off of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, we can now enjoy her latest video treat for “Love on Top”, another ’90s pop R&B-infused romp featuring B’s signature diva growl, a bedazzled Colonel’s hat, an array of glitzy costume changes, and a New Edition-esque...
Beyonce’s music video for Countdown is really, really, really fun!
It looks like Beyonce retains her crown for queen of the music video with her latest masterpiece for “Countdown” a video that has been making people gush and gush until they cannot gush no more. The song gets my “THAT’S MY JAM” approval, but the video, with its mod Funny Face appeal, is just pleasant...
Workout Song of the Week: “Schoolin’ Life” by Beyonce
One of my friends insists that Beyonce is a drag queen. I am not going to agree…then again, I am not going to disagree. Either way, she is my homegirl and she takes up about 64.7 percent real estate on my iPod shuffle for my workouts. Lately, the “We Built This City” ’80s orchestra strikes...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Soldier’ by Destiny’s Child featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne
Looking back at my blogging history, I have now come to accept that I have an obsession with Destiny’s Child and Beyonce that can be compared to that of a sassy 8th grade black girl. Nonetheless, this week’s workout song, “Soldier” is appropriate for two reasons 1.) I am running my 3rd half-marathon on Sunday...
Geist Infection: Simian Life
It’s time for simians to shine. The other day I saw what I thought was a Margiela monkey fur coat at Barneys — but it was goat fur. Nonetheless, it looked like monkey fur. Shaggy monkey fur outerwear has been present nearly everywhere and if you look at Beyonce‘s new album cover and her “Run...
A Finer Week: Diablo Directs, Beyonce Parties, and Conan Insults Tom Hanks
- A digitally aged Princess Diana makes a Photoshopped appearance next to Kate Middleton on the cover of Newsweek. Some people find it’s disrespectful. Others tacky. I just think it’s creepy. [Go Fug Yourself] - Transformers: Dark of the Moon took movie theaters by storm on Wednesday — sans Megan Fox. This poses the question:...
Workout Song of the Week: Jumpin’ Jumpin’ by Destiny’s Child
As my celebration of the pop/R&B/rap renaissance of the late ’90s/early ’00s continues (remember last week’s WSOTW?), I keep on discovering treasures such as “Jumpin’ Jumpin” by Destiny’s Child. Yes, this Top 40 masterpiece was a club thumpin’ wonder back in the day when Destiny’s Child was going through some “staff changes” (who was that...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Run The World (Girls)’ by Beyonce
Last week, I made my snap judgements about this song, now B and the regurgitated Major Lazer beat is on repeat on my iPod when I run in the morning. I am so not tired of this song yet. Give me a couple of days. It’s the perfect Memorial Day song, right?
Snap Judgments: Beyonce’s New Music Video for ‘Run The World (Girls)’
Beyonce‘s video for “Run The World (Girls)” from her upcoming album 4 (in stores June 28) came out yesterday and I have some very brilliant things to say about it: 1.) It’s nice that the clydesdale horses are finding work outside of Budweiser commercials. 2.) Shoulder dancing is 10 times more effective when wearing a...
Reba McEntire Wants to be a Boy
Reba McEntire is on my list of ladies who would be a cool aunt — and the fact that she countrified Beyonce‘s “If I Were a Boy” makes her even cooler. There’s something about countrifying a pop song that makes it so much more interesting and enjoyably depressing.
