People's Most Beautiful Women: Beyonce
I hate that I look at this every year. I don't want to support it, but I always look. I like that Sofia and Christina Hendricks are in there, just so everyone isn't so stick thin. But then I get sad because I have no boobies 
Sofia Vergara
Christina Hendricks
Paula Patton
Michelle Williams
Charlize Theron
Re: People's Most Beautiful Women: Beyonce
I really hate that Bey never wears her hair natural. I know she doesn't have to and all that but dude, yeah. Anyway.
Click me, click me!
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DI think Beyonce is absolutely gorgeous - much prettier than JLo (who "won" last year).
HAB - interesting about the natural hair. I've noticed that and wasn't sure if it would be an issue for some, you know?
It's really unfair I guess for it to bother me like it does. I'm pretty sure Paula Patton's rocking some weave there and yet that doesn't bother me a bit.
I think it's because it's so completely unnatural, all the damned time. Part of me wonders if homegirl isn't bald up under there.
I have hair issues though. I'm salty that with a few notable exceptions, there are very few real representations of black folks' hair in media. Even when it is more realistically styled in movies, how our hair behaves under different conditions like humidity, sweat, water, etc is a full on lie.
Click me, click me!
And it's always gotta be super long weave/lacefronts. And everybody is always able to jump in and out of the pool or stand in the rain crying over their man or whatever without their hair reverting.
Also, no one ever has a kitchen.
ETA: I'm still getting me some Beyonce lacefronts when I win the lottery.
I wonder this too.
Esp b/c it's unnatural all the time, it must really fcuk with her natural hair, no?

She's had my heart since she was MR. F on Arrested Development.
I like that most of these women are moms (at least of the ones they showed in the slideshow) and are not teenagers...kind of refreshing!
Also, Charlize Theron has to make up for Young Adult in my mind. I hated that movie!
I love the list.
I try not to knock black women about their hair choices because it is so loaded. If you wear a perm, weave, natural someone always has a problem.
Plus my hair as been in a bun all week, I have NO room to talk.
Lol like in "Something New" when Sanaa wore her "natural hair"?
My favorite was Zoe Saldana in Colombiana kicking ass and taking names, and her hair falling neatly out of place down around her face. Biitch, please, you know that shiit would have stuck out all over her head and frizzy besides.

I don't think Beyonce is spectacularly beautiful. I think she's pretty, but doesn't blow me away.
Super talented, amazing performer, business woman, etc.

I was going to say the same thing! That movie was just terrible. Awful.
Christina Hendricks apparently only looks better and better as she ages. NOT FAIR. If she gets any hotter/prettier, she's going to start melting cameras.
agreed. i'll go one further. i think she's overrated on every front (i feel this way about most people in hollywood).
I think all of the women on that list are gorgeous, but I think Sofia Vergara takes the top for me. I love that she is in her 40's and still rocking it - when a LOT of the 'prettiest' women (according to magazines) in Hollywood are often so much younger.
Agreed. She's obviously an attractive person and I think she's really pretty but most beautiful? No. That's just my opinion though.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

I think she's just over-exposed and that's why we all go Meh at Bey. Outside of the fact that she bought out a maternity ward for Blue Ivy's delivery, Beyonce strikes me as a pretty grounded, ordinary person. She could be strung out like Lindsey Lohan with all the fame and money she has. But she's not. She seems like the same kid she was before she found stardom - minus the bodyguards of course. For that, she garners my respect.
Now, I still contend that her song Diva was downright the worst shiit ever recorded, because a diva is not a hustler.
I'm not a Bey fan. I respect her work ethic and appreciate her as an entertainer, but I don't like her singing much, she comes off as a little bit stupid in interviews, though I'm pretty sure she's not and she's a pretty girl, but not drop dead gorgeous. Nobody on that list is drop dead gorgeous to me.
Now, that pic I posted? THAT is drop dead gorgeous to me. *swoon* But, y'all know my deep and abiding love for DJ Driis.
No woman in Hollywood has natural hair. And most women outside of Hollywood have processed hair of some sort.
I don't get the Sofia Vergarra love. She has a great body but there's nothing particularly unique about her looks. Her voice is awful. Her acting is mediocre.
Christina Hendricks is totally n?mero uno!! I agree about the yawns for Beyonce but she seems like a nice person.
Well color me shocked! I thought Emma Stone was born with that hair color.
In all seriousness, you're telling me you don't understand the difference between showing white women wearing a variety of styles, 99% of which are natural to that race in general and/or can be achieved rather easily after a trip to Walgreens and the completely made up state, texture, characteristics, and color of black women's hair in the media?

All I know is they NEVER have a kitchen.
