Of course they lighten her. And airbrush her. And fix her hair and makeup. And spend hours lighting her just so.
What is the old saying?
Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear? |

I'm sure that I would not be the first one to point out that Beyonce has signed a number of contracts with various cosmetic firms. One such contract with the notorious L'Oreal insists that she project a blond image. The contract even states that Beyonce can't change her look without first contacting L'Oreal.
This information comes from CourtTV's (now called "truTV") smokinggun website. One quote from the contract provided by truTV: "Knowles must apprise the cosmetics giant of 'any radical changes to her hair any concert tour may necessitate.'"
If you think that such people wouldn't manipulate Beyonce's skin color (NOTHING is real in fashion photography), then you are either truly crazy or just plain lame.
The contract is co-signed by daddy-dearest: Here are the details of the contract:

"Who cares" is right. Is anybody under the impression that Beyonce is a white woman? Everybody knows she's not. She signs a lucrative contract with a company that specializes in hair color. They want her famous face to show off their blond brands for those who want to go blond. They glamourize her in the process. So what else is new? |

 .......Thank you! Why would anyone even care what Beyonce does with her hair or what color her skin complexion is? Read this: THE WOMAN IS AN ENTERTAINER. ENTERTAINERS ARE SUBJECT TO ALL KINDS OF IMAGE MANIPULATIONS TO FURTHER AND PROMOTE THEIR CAREERS (THEY ALL DO IT!). IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT PRETAINS TO HAIR, SKIN COLOR, MUSIC, BODY TYPE, ETC. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. IT'S THE NATURE OF THE GAME. THE PRESS COVERAGE AND PEANUT GALLERY SKUTTLEBUTT RUMORS ONLY SERVE TO CREATE EVEN MORE FASCIANTION AND OBESSION BY THE SIMPLE MINDED PUBLIC.
People who have brains and a personal life are least affected and have little to zero interest in what these people do. All of this falls under the category of "business, albeit the paranoiac race obsession politics of Negroes. Don't like what she does with her hair? Don't like her skin color however it may be presented? Get a life and pretend she doesn't exist. You do have that option ya know........ |

Toubobie doesn't think slave descendants whose skin isn't ebony-hued have a right to claim their heritage, apparently convinced that color is the only criteria to be used in determining who is "black". |
