"Work It Out" (2002) Beyoncé's love for the 70s and giant hair was evident from her first single and video as a solo artist. Channeling her Foxy Cleopatra character from that Citizen Kane of shitty sequels, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Bey sported a sequined shift and her never-again-seen afro.

"Crazy in Love" (2003) Bey announced her arrival to superstardom with "Crazy in Love"'s thunderous horns and her birth as a fashion icon with a series of outfits -- such as the always appropriate fur coat and a bikini -- as well as some serious posing.

"Me, Myself and I" (2004) Could always use more Bey in a bob.

"Naughty Girl" (2004) The song itself features an interpolation of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" and combined with a very Diana-esque fur shawl and a little nod to Bob Fosse's choreography -- something she would mine time and time again -- Beyoncé was getting in touch with her inner Studio 54 ...by way of the Harlem Renaissance.

"Upgrade U" (2007) While talking a mean fashion game, Bey dons an even meaner braid.

"Kitty Kat" (2007) Though the video for "Kitty Kat" was only a minute long and served really as an intro to "Green Light," how the hell can we not talk about this makeup? Following the theme of the song, Beyoncé also wears a leopard-print catsuit. It's called commitment.

"Get Me Bodied" (2007) An homage to Bob Fosse's Sweet Charity, Bey sports another memorable pony and is joined by former Destiny's Children Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland -- and -- beginning to step out of her sister's ginormous shadow -- Solange as they enter a party the only way acceptable: like a bunch of drag queens.

"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It" (2008) The leotard worn 'round the world. Who knew such a simple concept would be the watershed moment in Beyoncé's career? Inspired once again by Fosse -- this time "Mexican Breakfast" -- but with the added touch of a Lorraine Schwartz robotic titanium glove. If Gwen Verdon had had that...let's just say Liza wouldn't be alive today.

"Diva" (2008) Just in case there were any lingering doubts, Beyoncé is a fucking diva. But for anyone questioning her female hustler status, Bey pulled some diva antics like blowing up a car of mannequins and wearing the hell out of some Gareth Pugh and vintage Thierry Mugler. Sasha Fierce was not playing around.

"Video Phone" (2009) By this point in her career, Bey had really stepped up her sartorial game, eschewing mom Tina Knowles' House of Dereon creations for haute couture. And I think we all know fellow pop queen Lady Gaga may have had a little something to do with that. The two paired up for "Video Phone" then got all Thelma & Louise for Gaga's similarly-titled "Telephone."

"Why Don't You Love Me" (2010) Betty Page met Betty Draper in the martini-swilling, chain-smoking, mascara-running incarnation of B.B. Homemaker. Foxy Cleopatra she certainly is not. Shazam!

"Run the World (Girls)" (2011) Beyoncé's style evolution pretty much peaked when she decided to wear Givenchy Haute Couture while brandishing two jackals on a leash. You don't go up from there, I'm sorry. Alexander McQueen dress and thigh-high boots, a Giuseppe Zanotti harness, an incredible disco-ball of a Gareth Pugh dress and heels, a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown, an Emilio Pucci dress. In Beyonce's post-Apocalyptic world, haute couture is the only armor you'll need.

Diana Ross and the girls were impeccable. They are The Beatles of the girl group realm. Simply, and sparkly, the greatest.

Sluts. All of them. Even the ginger, in the palazzo pants. Dolls, go get dressed.

The Spice Girls inspired a generation of little girls to buy blue plastic skirts and platform sneakers. And it was GOOD! With each their own personality, we learned that an athlete and a diva can be bff, and that leopard print is wildly acceptable. Girl power.

Never ever have I ever seen such snoozy outfits. Jeans. T-shirts. Come on. If you want to be pop stars, dress like it! One hit wonder... then we saw them.

Yes, ladies, we're calling this a best. Pants that could fit a family of four were everything, EVERYTHING then. This look may make you feel unpretty right now, but it was THE height of cool.

These girls. From spelling all of their song titles wrong, that one on the left looking like a hot self-tanned train-wreck, haters, they gon' hate.

Here I go, here I go, here I go again, girls what's my weakness? Leather jackets and chains.

Say you will, say you won't, say you'll never wear that again. The music bopped, but looks were atrocious. C'est La Vie

Thanks to Beyoncé's mama Tina Knowles who made their matching outfits in the early years, B, Kelly and Michelle always had their toes powerfully on the line between classy and scandalous. We say, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

By the bye, yes Blue Ivy Carter is credited as the featured artist on this track. Let the pressure for messiah-like stardom begin.

My buddy DJ NVM, the resident DJ over at the Sunday pool parties at the Gansevoort Park Avenue, has been telling me about his party for a while now… but after a bit of convincing by the guest DJs Steve Aoki & Marshall Barnes did I finally take a trip over there (reason being I’m usually way too exhausted after a weekend of Hamptons raging to move on a Sunday).

Let me tell you, this is no ordinary pool party. The chicks are HOT. The guys even HOTTER. And when you get that many HOT people together and feed them alcohol for hours under the summer sun, you’re going to get one amazing PRETTY & PLASTERED gallery…

“During the BET Awards in 2006 I witnessed the makings of a real relationship between two overly focused individuals willing to sacrifice and make time for each other in the midst of accomplishing their personalized greatness.”

Translation: During the BET “Awards” in 2006, I witnessed the fabrication of a relationship between a gaggle of agents, publicists and Tina and Matthew Knowles to augment Jay Z and Beyoncé’s personalized greatness.

“I was the personal assistant to Beyonce while she prepared for the debut of her new single Deja Vu. I can recall having the song on repeat throughout the duration of my flight from Chicago to LA and feeling captivated by the 808′s and horns. There was something about the song that made me feel as if I were being transported to another place all in the name of love.”

Translation: I was Beyoncé’s assistant’s hairdresser’s best friend’s third cousin while she prepared for her new single “Déjà Vu.” I can recall having the song on repeat through the duration of a bus ride to get my hair did and couldn’t help thinking “This sounds a lot like ‘Crazy in Love’ if ‘Crazy in Love’ kind of sucked.”

“I sat there in amazement as I watched Beyonce go over every step as if her life depended on it. I’d heard all the stories and rumors that she was evil and possibly the daughter of Satan but none of that surfaced.”

Translation: I sat there in amazement as I watched Beyoncé go over every step because her life depended on it (Matthew was backstage eying her with his switch). I’d heard all the stories and rumors that she was evil and possibly the daughter of Satan. And they’re all true.

“He [Jay] said hi to her mom and mentioned that he wanted to fake [sic] her (Beyonce) out and say he wasn’t coming just to surprise her and it worked. The two clicked instantly and started rehearsing but not before a hint of comfort was relaxed on their faces as they found solace within each others arms. ”

Translation: He [Jay] offered his sacrifice of a beheaded former member of Destiny’s Child to her mom and mentioned that he and B were contractually obligated to go out on a “date” this month. The two clicked instantly and started rehearsing but not before Tina sewed Beyoncé into her silver lamé House of Dereon slutty cheerleader  costume and they found solace within their Blackberrys.

Link Love: Such Is Life

With the exception of that one time I was a guest of the Tyra Banks show, I really have never seen it. My guess is that it’s all about Tyra and her wacky adventures in Discount Fashionland, which is why I believe she felt the need to pose around Soho in high heels from DSW and last seasons Herve Ledger dress. Either that or she’s auditioning for a role in Destiny’s Child the movie.

Since it’s freezing in Boston today, I decided to do some posts in front of the TV today. I decided to watch Bravo’s The Fashion Show for the first time ever today, which is what has spawned this post of confusion. Why in the hell is Kelly Rowland the host? What fashion credibility does she even have, because we have all seen the camo laden “Survivor” video. I think this really takes away from the legitimacy of the show a lot.

What do you think indies, with all the fashion people who would clearly love to be a part of this show, Why would they chose Kelly Rowland?

I lovez you Tina!

Indies, in case none of you received the note I sent via carrier pigeon, I personally have a crush on Mrs. Tina Knowles *singing Here’s to you Mrs Robinson/Jesus loves you more than you will know*. Hot old chicks rock! However, anytime anyone starts peddlin’ wares on HSN, my spidey sense starts tingling and I get a huge rash on my butt the shape of Texas. We all know that the whole House of Dereon thing hasn’t gone so well since most of what they’ve put out can only be worn on stage ‘Survivin’ with Destiny’s Child or pattin yo weave on the set of Single Ladies. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still drank Beyonce’s bathin’ water after a rough and sweaty world tour but Dereon wasn’t what I thought it would be………………or actually it’s exactly what I thought it would be *sad face/disappointment in life*.

Everything’s just so random and the word “cohesive” is like a child no one wanted but no one had the courage to get rid of so they just ignore it. I stang by how yummi Tina Knowles make me feel on the inside part but it’s time to put this project sleep in the sweet rest of Jesus and euthanasia. Of course, I am talking about HSN and that’s where fashion is murdered slowly along with your salary. Which brings me to my 2nd point, I’ll be starting an HSN rehabilitation group soon……..not for me, for you………really………..don’t judge Z’maji!
