Beyonce debuted her new Tumblr page, Beyonce | I Am, a beautifully arted website on which the notoriously private star shows off pictures of vacations, tours, and private moments with her husband, Jay-Z, her sister, Solange, her nephew, Daniel, and photos of her pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Though there is an air of script to the pictures—all of them show a virtually flawless Beyonce in perfect poses—they are quite lovely, as they show tender moments between the diva and her family, relay a sense of ease and relaxation and capture time in an interesting way. Beyonce introduces the site with a simple message to her fans: “This is my life, today, over the years-through my eyes. My family, my travels, my love. This is where I share with you, this will continue to grow as I do.” Here’s to hoping that some sweet pictures of Beyonce and Jay-Z as a mommy and daddy loving on their daughter show up here, too, as they did on Blue Ivy’s Tumblr page when her parents debuted her to the world.

I love the images of Beyonce. They may be scripted, but no more than me picking out the good instagram pics my hubby took of me and putting them on facebook. Beyonce just has better access to great photographers (no disrespect to Mr. Brimm) and more experience making herself look flawless before the click, click, click. On second thought, she may have planned each one out in anticipation of releasing them on tumblr, which makes me respect her branding game even more. Anyway, I was delightfully surprised to see them. She has a way of directing all eyes on her by just being sweet, playful, happy, and sexy. She doesn’t need to teeter-totter on self-destruction to grab attention, like many of these stars today.
Yes, Brooke! That’s exactly what I love about the pictures; they’re sweet and fun and playful and show joy. And you’re right: when it comes to public consumption of our pictures, we ALL put our best ones out there. That’s what I meant by scripted. There’s not a bad picture in the lot. And her branding game is ILL. I can’t be mad at her one bit…
Nice pictures, we show the happy moments in our lives because we want to remember those forever 🙂
It’s so strange seeing her with no makeup on, she almost looks like a different person. Still beautiful though. From the pics, you can see the Beyonce nose job rumors are true. I’m still a fan!
