Beyonce in Blackface: Artistic or Awful?
by Hilton Hater at .Featured in the 90th anniversary edition of French fashion magazine L'Officiel Paris, Beyonce finds herself at the center of a new controversy.
The singer/actress poses for the publication in African-inspired dresses and jewelry, honoring that region's artistic influences around the globe. But she also paints her face black, a move that has been met by criticism. In response, the magazine has released a statement that reads:
"The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season. As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face. We find the images beautiful and inspiring."

Just because she's black herself doesn't make it any more acceptable for her to wear that makeup. I can't fucking stand that bitch, her music is awful and she is completely over-sexualized.

why is her bra and chest exposed? Why is beyonce always exposing her body for once cover up your body. The world always sees your breast and your behind hanging out, when is she going to become more classy.Your a maried women who is approaching 30 cover up.
Wow...some people can be so harsh and so dumb at the same time. I think she looked great in that photo shoot, as to the black paint I'm sorry I do not think it had to do with anything about her wanting to look more black I think it was as stated for the photos she did, lots of models do photos with artistic make up on and that is what that was as I see artistic. She looked very very beautiful in those pictures. Some of you people need to see the whole picture in what those were not in the thought of her trying paint herself more black so stupid!
Anita, did you really just say, "Beyonce looks scary,ugly and unattractive she should hve gone for wat fits her cos black paints is mostly for black girls." Are you serious or are you just an idiot because last time I checked, Beyonce was indeed, black. Maybe not in the sense of colour but ethnically, she's black so what exactly are you getting at? Are you imply that she is ugly, unattractive etc etc because her skin colour is darker than normal? Then again, you're an idiot and should do the world a favour and refrain from commenting ever again.
