Beyonce: "Why Don't You Love Me?"
I havent been here in while, and this is like 2 days late, but whatever bite me if you have a problem with it. This here is Beyonce's most recent contribution to pop culture. I will admit that I was beginning to get tired of Bey, but this video was such a turn from her usual, I was enthralled. Two reasons why I love it: the song was written by her sister Solange, whose music I love and the 1950s may be my very favorite fashion era. The video captures nearly all my favorite looks from the time period and the song is different from Bey's regular work. This is not a music blog, so I won't shine anymore light on the musical aspect of the video. Let's talk fashion. I love the powder blue jumpsuit with Gianmarco Lorenzi sandals, I need the lingerie with the sweetheart cut, like now, and the high waist panties and bra set with lilac pumps are perfect. The Rosie the Riveter look she has in the beginning is precious, I don't give a hoot what anyone says. The 1950s were a response to the mannishness (that can't be a word) of the 1940s, thus feminity was a staple and a statement. Looking like a lady was all the rage then, tiny waists, high heels, perfect hair and immaculate boobies were a must. Now, I hear a lot of people are getting tired of the onesies everyone has been wearing and while I do realize that some things do get old I can't seem to bring myself to dislike them, they're sexy. I also enjoy being convinced that I'm looking into a different time period, wardrobe helped, but to top it all off the video work was straight from a time before now, the video really looked old. Kudos to the producer and other homies who made that happen.
