Beyonce Covers Self Magazine September 2010

Beyonce’s Hip Photoshopped for Self Magazine

Beyonce is the cover girl for the September 2010 issue of Self magazine. She’s wearing a coral pink bandage dress and not her jammies (unike everyone else who does Self covers). Her lack of jammies wasn’t the thing that caught my eye.

I was entirely too focussed on part of her hips going missing to pay attention to her vomit-colour Herve Leger. The right side of the cover is all well and good. However, the left side of the cover shows her hip bone shaved right down, leaving her looking lopsided. Beyonce without hips is like Britney Spears with a clean weave. THIS MADNESS SHALL NOT PASS. Not on my watch. There’s a second, close up, picture from the Shape spread, as well as interview snippets.

On her charity work: “I’ve always felt that you should give because it’s what you can do to help,” says the founder of the Beyonce Cosmetology Center and The Survivor Foundation. “You don’t do it to get praised. For a long time, being quiet about what I did was a conscious decision.”
On how she’s not perfect and is often messy: “I promise I’m working on this, but I could be less messy at home and keep the clothes in my closet and off the floor,” she tells the magazine.
On her when she knows it’s time to return to work: “I know it’s time to jump back into my work when everything I do starts inspiring lyrics and melodies and I can’t keep myself out of the studio.
