Beyoncé x Awol Erizku

After yesterdays explosive pregnancy announcement, Queen Bey is giving the world a closer look into her maternity journey. The hive immediately noticed this morning that Beyoncé’s website had been updated with even more shots of the singer and her firstborn, Blue Ivy. 

Here they are, in all their immaculate — and occasionally underwater — glory; shot in collaboration with Los Angeles and New York City-based multimedia artist Awol Erizku.

Reasons to watch The Get Down

shiro-yourelikeabrothertome:

– Set in the 70’s, we all love vintage aesthetic

– Characters of color that are not only amazing and talented but complex and flawed without being demonized

– Friendships between young characters that are entertaining, supportive and dont rely on putting each other down for the sake of laughs

– Talks about racial and political issues and how they affect poor people (esp poc) really respectfully from many perspectives of many characters

– Music, art, poetry play big parts on this, its all about how these things help the characters (young poc) express themselves and inspire them to become better and reach for bigger things

– Treats abusive relationships (both familiar and romantic) realistically

– LGBT and drag culture represented realistically without being demonized or treated as a joke (also one of the characters may be part of the comunity)

– Young characters are allowed to be young and discover new things and themselves and make mistakes without being portrayed negatively, just as people making mistakes

– Talks about the life poor poc and the struggles they live with as marginalized groups, makes important statements about race and politics, shows the importance of young people and how they express themselves, with beautiful cinematography, aesthetics, soundtrack and an amazing and talented cast and it does it all in only 8 chapters and it could do more if it gets more attention and love

moments when grls r Extra pretty :
• the lil smile when they put on blush
• tying up their hair – bonus points if she pulls out a few strands at the front to frame her face
• putting on lotion – bonus if she rubs some on your hands cuz she took too much
• pulling their hair out from under a scarf or jacket
• when there’s like stray glitter on their faces ? shimmer blush ? eyeshadow ? who knows but it’s angelic
• wearing Anything that is too big for them. in general – 2x bonus if it’s yours
• when they receive a hot drink and hold it with both hands and just sort of put their face right up close to it
