Sasha Not So Fierce

I thought I was the only one not swallowing this Sasha Fierce bull that Beyoncé is selling. Especially when she is making the same kind of music. Looks like a money scheme to me and apparently to other people as well. Hadley Freeman, a writer for the UK Guardian, had a lot to say. Go read the full article here. Read key paragraphs below.

"Beyoncé says she always secretly referred to her onstage persona as Sasha Fierce, because when she is onstage, "the tone of my voice gets different, and I'm fearless. I'm just a different person." Moving swiftly past the retort, "Yes, of course your voice gets different, love: it's because you're singing to 10,000 people as opposed to just asking your husband to pass the milk across the breakfast table," this is apparently the motivation behind her much-vaunted new look.

But the sartorial expression of this heretofore hidden persona looks a little less original than Beyoncé/Sasha (hereafter known as BS) suggests. Instead, it adheres to the pop-star style makeover formula, which can be summed up as follows: wear some hot pants, borrow some "edgy" designer's clothes, dress as a robot."

LOL. My thoughts? She always had the hot pants, so that can't count. The clothes are an upgrade from what Tina was putting her onstage wearing. They completely have me on the robot though. I concur wholeheartedly. But Mona does not. Forward it to 7:06. You'll die.
