AuburnChick's Adventures

So, I watched 60 Minutes last night.  One of the guys interviewed Beyonce.

My interest was piqued.  I don’t really listen to her music, but I get People Magazine for free, and she’s often in there…usually frolicking in the sun at some exotic location.  Stars have the money to do stuff like this.  Must be nice.

But, I digress.

The interviewer talked about her early life…going out on the road and being homeschooled.  She talked about what “good girls” she and the rest of her group were.

Next, viewers were shown a clip of Beyonce praying with her crew right before taking the stage.

I was really interested now.

This was something I did not know about her.

The only thing I knew was that she wore really short dresses with slits up to there and danced around in ways that would make my children blush if I was on a stage dancing those very same moves.

The contrast was not lost on the interviewer either, for he traveled down this road during his next line of questioning.

He asked her why she was such a seductress when she espoused such conservative views.

Ouch.

I do not remember what exactly she said.  I think it was, “Thank you,” followed by a hearty laugh.

Say what?

Interesting.

No.  Make that sad.

So many young girls look up to her, and yet, as I look around at the teenagers around me, I realize that they are easily influenced by just this kind of double-speak, or should I say double-sing.

You know…it took me several Google searches before I could even find one picture of Ms. B wearing something that covered her body in a respectable way.

Oh, it’s not to say that she isn’t pretty, because she is gorgeous.

And yes, I am thankful that she seems to have a marriage that is doing well.  Kudos.

But the other stuff.  Well, it still bothers me.

What about you?  Do you notice stuff like this?  Does it bother you?

Am I just an old fogey in a 40-year-old body?
