Beyonce´s "robotglove" Whose Idea Was Beyonce's Shiny Robot Glove?
11/25/2008 8:00 PM, E! Online Leslie Gornstein – Tue Nov 25, 3:11 pm ET Los Angeles (E! Online) – What is that new hand that Beyonce has? Is it a robot hand? Is it superstrong? --B Fan, Yonkers See? I told you. The Cylons. They look like us now. The handpiece you mention--alternately known among fashion reporters as the roboglove, the gling or Anti-Rihanna Death Grip--actually was handcrafted by Beyonce's longtime jeweler, New York-based Lorraine Schwartz. Despite Internet rumors that the piece was fashioned of pure gold--possibly in the legendary Elven forges at Rivendell--it's actually made of... ...titanium! And, according to sources close to the gling, it's also one of a kind and therefore close to priceless. More details on the roboglove? Sure. Schwartz had her artisans working day and night on the piece, laboring 24 hours a day until it was complete. • It fits literally like a glove. Beyonce's entire upper arm was cast in wax so that the titanium piece would wrap perfectly. • It's actually several pieces, including a ring, a glove and a separate component that covers the upper arm. It can be worn all together or separately. • It looks heavier than it is. Titanium is about 45 percent lighter than steel. • Beyonce really, really doesn't want to take it off. She wore it on Saturday Night Live. She wore it in her "Single Ladies" video. She wore it in her cover spread for Gotham magazine. She wore it on the red carpet at the MTV Europe Awards. • The glove was Beyonce's concept all the way, I am told--a "superpower" hand to complement the singer's new Sasha Fierce ego. Speaking of fierce, the white-hot flame of truth doesn't stop for a turkey. Look for more answers to your burningest Q's later this week. http://music.yahoo.com/re...s/61903199 Am I the only one who finds this totally ridiculous? I know that image, costumes and looks matter in showbusiness, but they can´t make up for a boring, unspired music. I haven´t heard her new album yet, just the first two singles and they´re nothing special to me. I just do not get this need to be special by having these "original" things. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |
