Beyonce without the Barbie

I applaud Beyonce Knowles for her charisma and success. She is a bright, shining star and a tour de force to be reckoned with. A savvy business woman, a majestic singer and a beauty icon everywhere; Beyonce has made her mark on the entertainment and fashion world. Usually marketed with a tea-dipped White look, there are some Black moments where Beyonce shines naturally (at least in Hollywood terms) and amidst the rumours of skin-bleaching, blonde wigs and eye contacts we occasionally get to see Beyonce as a fierce lioness proud of her mane and that sexy roaring voice.
