I AM...Copy Cat [In Stores WorldWide]

Well...Well...Well...

EXHIBIT B
Jennifer Lopez
1998 Photo Shoot

While I do, indeed, Appreciate 50% of BeYonce's Antics, I CANT help but to bring ATTENTION to the wide array of 'Moments' where she just simply gives the Media more FUEL to feed the FIRE. There are Countless Moments in Beyonce's Stage, Video, and Public Appearance Spectatcles where she simply SNATCHES the very idea, used specifically by another Starlett of the Music Industry. Its ONE thing to create an idea inspired by those of the past. Its ANOTHER to blatantly COPY the canvas; spraypainting 'Originality' all over the product...simply because your name holds a certain 'ICON/LEGEND Stature'.

...and so WHY are we so SHOCKED and SURPRISED that 'If I Were A Boy' was WRIPPED from MySpace; the catalogue of a young, 21 year old white girl, whose Acoustic/Folk music career is barely on the rise?

WHY are we so SHOCKED and SURPRISED that BeYonce's name is listed in the album credits as a Songwriter for 'If I Were A Boy'...when CLEARLY, The Lyrics have NOT been changed in the slightest?

WHY are we so SHOCKED and SURPRISED that Kylie Minogues CyBorg Style Glove has become a Staple in Beyonce's most recent ANTIC in the Single Ladies Music Video, as well as in Live performances of the Single?

HMPH!

STYLE Stage: John Legend

I rarely make postings regarding Male Style, Fashion and Trendsetting. HOWEVER, as one of my sources shared this photo with me this afternoon, I HAD to post it. Socialites & Celebutantes, I am LOVING Everything about John Legend's Avante Garde Look Right HERE. For Me, the Combat Boots just SET IT OFF. It gives the Metallic Gray Suit an Edge of Artistry and Militant Appeal. It ROCKS!

I am So INSPIRED to Switch-Up My Style when I head back to The East Coast for the Holidays. Being HERE, I havent cared too much about Clothes. I HATE Heat, and Usually subject myself to Tank Tops, T-Shirts and Designer Jeans. HOWEVER, Ive been seeing Shots like these that make me want to retreat BACK to the Innovation that once Saturated my Daily Appearance.

KUDOS to JOHN LEGEND!....

Black, Combat Boots for Xmas PLEASE.

Rihanna...Style ICON?

RIHANNA
A TrendSetting Ingenue
of
Forge-Fashion & Edge

Many of you KNOW that I am NOT a FAN of Rihanna's Vocal skills, Stage presence or present 'Status' as this New, POP 'SuperStar'. Though Rihanna doesnt Write her own material, Dance or Sing worth a Damn, she does indeed embody a young woman whose Style and Dare-To-Be-Different prowess are worth a Second Glance.

Rihanna has just been named the FACE of GUCCI's Winter 2008, UNICEF Campaign. Alongside Creative Director, Frida Giannini, Rihanna has embarked upon a series of Commercials and Design House Appearances, marketing and wearing the GUCCI Brand.
I LOVE Rihanna's ability to blend layers of Scarves, Necklaces, Bangles, Torn Jeans, Motorcycle Gloves, Vintage Tees, and Rock & Roll Accessories into most of her Stage and Red Carpet Ensembles. Though NONE of the Original Concepts or Ideas are of her own, She sure as hell does have a SIN.SATIONAL Stylist.
