"Blonde" weave + Africa = Not a Good Look ! Beyonce needs to step her "Standards of Beauty" game up while traveling abroad. I found it comical & disturbing. from a distance she looked like Meredith Baxter-Birney in some of those shots. It didn't really hit home til I saw the pics of her over there, that her "Blonde weave" just might be getting a lil old. [Edited 10/14/06 4:23am] "You can go Fly ya Mama's Kite" (c) Prince | |

I LOVE my Black peoples & ALL Races, but I think she should at least know the history of HER OWN ancestry to know that it may have been looked upon as *possibly* offensive ? Shit, even the "Badu" afro-centric look would've been a nice jesture for a few days. Beyonce' LOST culturally on this one y'all. And, I'm NotHATING ! Just an observation peoples.

That's not really "blonde" hair.
Isn't it kinda racist to say that she CAN'T have blonde hair?  | |

Guess she could of gotten her hair braided or something. Did her mom make that dress she has on? She looks like she might be going to a party right after. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Isn't it kinda racist to say that she CAN'T have blonde hair? the issue isnt about her being "blonde"...the issue is her lack of cultural understanding... african american's are not respected in africa...so to have her go there looking the way she looks well, lets just says its akin to Princess Diana walking around with Mother Teresa in a third world nation with a big ole tiara and princess gown. totally inappropriate. Space for sale... | |

Um, that's not even blonde hair. That's brown.
What's wrong with her tribal attire? She doesn't even have on make-up. This hardly merits any comparison to the late Princess Diana.

Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.
If she went there braided/afro-headed, ya'll would be jumping on her clit for "putting up a front/being fake" just the same. | |

Let's be clear here...Beyonce is an easy target...I mean there's plenty to pick on the girl about (her overexposure, her pretentious mother; ect, ect...) And on the real, I think some of the shit is hilarious myself...But when it comes to such trivial matters like lambasting the woman for wearing a weave while visiting Africa, to me that's beyond hate...It's the same thing as saying that she talks "ghetto"...It's going somewhere else that's pretty disturbing...I'm all for making fun of the adsurdity of celebrity....But it seems like at times with this Beyonce chick, people take it to a place that's beyond criticism....

And it's not as if ladies in Africa don't also perm, weave, or dye their hair. That, my friends is a fallacy. I have spent way to much time in Africa seeing gorgeous women who are just as interested in fashion and beauty trends as their western counterparts. Where y'all come up with these views on how Beyonce's look is inapropriate or offensive to Africans is beyond me  | |

Yep, Madonna even shows tact when she's buying African babies (LOL).....Now if you think that statement sounds ridiculous, imagine a whole thread about Beyonce's choice of hair style while visiting the Mother Land....Again, it's overkill....
