Beyonce Isn't Afraid to Get Ugly on New Track

Love / Shove blog post by Ehren Gresehover, January 2, 2009 - 3:21pm; tagged Beyonce, Diva, music videos.

A lot has been said (including on this blog) about the sort of affable empowerment that is ubiquitous in Beyonce's chart-busting hits, especially on her latest record, I Am... Sasha Fierce, but the third single, "Diva" is more "fierce" than what you might expect.   More after the jump.

Another way to give the gift of Bitch is to send the subscription link on to those people who are still looking to put a gift under the tree for you! Why not email your Aunt Sally a link to Bitch and let her know what you'd really like for Christmas? No more fruitcake this year!

Also, don't forget that the latest issue of Bitch, Noir, is on newsstands now! Click on the "Latest Issue"link for a sneak peek. Makes a great stocking stuffer! (And don'tforget to get one for yourself too! You deserve it after all the hardwork you've done.)

Power Pack: Beyonce Knowles

Love / Shove blog post by Kelsey Wallace, December 19, 2008 - 12:04am; tagged Beyonce, feminist celebrities, gender roles, pop music, power pack, videos.

Beyonce 

OK, first things first. I love Beyonce. There is no point in me pretending otherwise. I think she is an amazing performer and I totally heart her catchy dance jams. But there is more to Beyonce than a solid hook and a hot ass, and it’s time we all took a moment to recognize.

Though her name may not make it onto a plaque in the Feminist Hall of Fame (OMG, wouldn’t it be fun if there was a Feminist Hall of Fame?), Beyonce injects a healthy dose of female empowerment into just about everything she touches. She is like a feminist King Midas (right down to the gold accessories). Sure, Beyonce's not perfect, but she explores and challenges gender politics in a way that we rarely see from Top 40 pop stars. To help make my point, I give you the Beyonce power pack. A collection of music videos, audio (including a gabfest-style podcast discussion on the topic), and links that will arm you with all of the information you need to answer the burning question, Is Beyonce a feminist icon in the making?

3007795341_5b3d6aede9.jpg

Some days you wake up to the right light coming through the window, that good song with the hand claps and the trombone in your head, and you don’t mind the slush at your feet or the hole (in the crotch) in your pants. Your coffee’s good and things just seem like they’re alright. And then you run into this….

Scooped: Obvious rom-com article

Love / Shove blog post by Kelsey Wallace, December 17, 2008 - 1:32pm; tagged A.V. Club, BBC, duh, media studies, romantic comedies.
I was all prepared to write a blog post about this BBC article titled, "Rom-coms 'spoil your love life,'" but then I realized Amelie Gilette from the A.V. Club had already said just about everything I wanted to say about it in this post. Still, I wanted to post it here, in case anyone missed it. Check it out and give us your thoughts!

Adventures in Feministory: The Monie's in the Middle

Love / Shove blog post by Jonanna Widner, December 16, 2008 - 6:54pm; tagged Adventures in Feministory, hip hop, Monie Love, music.
Climb aboard our little time-traveling contraption and set the dial to the year 1990, friends, because we are going on a little ride to the past. Of course, 1990 isn't all that long ago—one could barely consider it history in most cases—but keep in mind that in hip-hop years, two decades is like two centuries.
