...to think Beyonce has actually lost the plot??

[GoingSlightlyCrazy09]

Seriously, wtaf is this photo about? She's dressed up like a hawaiian barbie doll, and is holding those poor twins with such an air of detachment, it's actually freaky. I actually think she's gone mad. Sir Carter and Rumi ........... those kids are gonna love those names when they're in school

Nouvea Riche means new wealth and is used very tongue in cheek for wealthy people that are seen as having little class or breeding.
I did mean the thread to be very light-hearted. I just rolled my eyes when I saw the photo but hey, she could be a trend setter and lots of photos of newborns will now involve mum naked outside in a skimpy negligee and dad trimming the hedge a bit quick and covering it in flowers.

Absolute twat. Used to quite like her but lost respect when she went on tour about 5 minutes after having her first kid. Strapped for cash, Bey? Also agree the (probably airbrushed) photo - sets stupidly unrealistic standards for women who have just given birth.

Nouveau riche (not Nouvea Riche) means those whose wealth has been acquired within their own generation, rather than by familial inheritance.

Stick your beige shoes up your arse alright Beyoncé, chill out

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes - Would you judge any other woman for her choice of when to return to work after they've had a child?

But aside from that Blue Ivy was born in Jan 2012.

She did four shows in May 2012 in Atlantic City - which would obvs have needed a month or so of rehearsals

Then The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour started in April 2013 - with rehearsals beforehand

aintnobody I don't know the specific ins and outs of her life as well as you do. My "about five minutes" comment was clearly an exaggeration. My point wasn't in relation to all other working mothers it was regarding a celebrity who is loaded and I don't understand the urgent need to go back to work seeing as she wasn't exactly short of a few bob. So yeah I think 3 months after having a baby if you're counting the at least so at least a month of rehearsals thing is a little odd.

Well, I just googled it after your comment tbh.

Work means a lot more than money to a lot of people, whatever their financial status.

Surely her public profile shouldn't deprive her of the right to choose?

Well, I just googled it after your comment tbh, took seconds.

Considering she's black I'm not surprised at all the back lash. It seems to be unacceptable to be black and successful.

God love her...

With regards to the Sir Carter Carter questions.
I thought Jay Z had taken Beyonce's name after marriage.
So they baby is Sir Carter Knowles.

She's an absolute tit. In fact, my tits are embarrassed by her.

Nah, it's Sir and Rumi Carter.

Gramma says so

VladmirsPoutine my thoughts on the picture have nothing to do with the colour of her skin, Adele or any other white woman would look equally as ridiculous in that get up.
As for the people saying she's becoming high art, does anyone remember the story of the Emperor's New Clothes...

It looks to me like she's not holding those babies but I can't make out how she's doing it IYSWIM...

You do know that people can dislike what people do and it not be about the colour of their skin.

Ahh cheers aintnobodygottimeforthis

It looks to me like she's not holding those babies but I can't make out how she's doing it IYSWIM...the right hand is holding the bottom baby. (She has holding a red thing)

The left hand is holding the top baby. Closer look, you can see her finger and nail closer to the babies head. Different skin tone to the baby.

aintnobody i never said her public profile denied her the right to choose just that I personally found it a little weird that if you're in a comfortable (understatement) financial position I don't really understand the rush. Likewise my non-public profile shouldn't deny me the right to have that opinion. Just think it'd be nice if she perhaps had spent a couple months longer with her babies rather than mainly from what I've seen using them as props/accessories in stupid as fuck elaborate photo shoots.

Thanks quencher it's such a busy photo, I couldn't work it out!

Well, it's really common for women to return to work and find that they have lost status, are not up on industry developments and have been ursurped in the workplace.

Beyonce isn't immune to that - she earnt it that crown over many many years- it wasn't a coronation by any means - and she needs to work hard to maintain her status - so many contenders lining up behind her.

I saw that photo today online, alongside a picture of Botticell's The Birth of Venus but if it's meant to be an allusion, it's pretty remote, it certainly didn't make the connection for me.

I couldn't actually make out either of the babies in there, just another narcissistic photo shoot of her in a curtain. Oh here's my babies first photo, yeah right! Get over yourself love.

Some one like Beyoncé has to constantly keep her self in the media. The difference between her and Adele is that one sells more than just music. Media attention is key. However, she is letting the media scramble for info on her while the others practically give it way.

Beyonce is a walking advert.

It's not a coincidence that she chooses Instagram, offering presence with no words unless she wants too.

Having a break for women in the industry she is in is a no, no if she wants to stay relevant. A lot of them fall of. It's also, a lot harder once they hit thirty while the men are accepted for maturing and can get bigger and bigger.
