"Scantily clad"
Set your television remote to any music video channel in this day and time and it's likely you'll see countless voluptuous, drop dead gorgeous women dancing and/or parading around your high-definition, flat panel screen wearing next to nothing at all. Many women take offense to this "misogynistic" portrayal of their female counterparts. Like many men, I've always admired the Greek "goddess-like" images that gyrated and convulsed right before my very eyes. In my opinion, that was the closest I'd ever come to dancing with the girl of my dreams. At the same time, I can understand how those images could be viewed as racy, scandalous, or inappropriate depending upon the audience. I neither condone nor condemn the individuals that produce these videos. I'm simply an individual with an option to either watch the video or change the channel... nothing more, no less.
Ladies, I have a question for you all. Many women are Beyonce fans. I too am a huge supporter of Beyonce Knowles. I'd like to know why it is considered 'Diva-like' when Beyonce and her super sexy dancers jiggle and titillate on our television screen. In my opinion, Beyonce is as sexy and enticing as any hip-hop video dancer. She dresses just as provocatively, she dances circles around the average video girl, and she certainly doesn't lack anything in the “bootylicious” department. Clearly she envelopes everything that a hip-hop dancer does and pulls it off quite nicely, if I may say so myself. What is the difference ladies? Why is it deemed sexy when "B." does it and stank when hip-hop stars employ video vixens? Speak now or forever hold your two-piece.

"Cuz she's a LADY in the streets, and a FREAK in the video's!" There is a difference. The assumption which may or may not be accurate, is that the average video vixen has slept her way in the streets to obtain that video cameo...
Well....maybe I'm out of touch, but I have yet to see Beyonce in the same positions and outfits as these video hoes. She defintiely shows off her curves and knows how to dance provacatively (I'd dare say most women do/know how to do the same thing). However, I haven't seen her in shorts so short that one sees booty cheeks only; or in those shorts with a close up of a-s-s only (face cut out of camera) demonstrating her booty poppin' skills...I could elaborate more, but I think we all know...it just ain't the same.
The same way a person could despise a veggie burger but if you garnish it and put it on a beautiful bed vegetables or pasta and serve it on specialty
top of the line dinnerware, all of a sudden it's the best meal you have ever tasted--fine dining.
Also you have to look at it this way. The video vixens are purely there for visual stimulation and at the same time you have the added benefit of a nice
beat or hook in a song. With Beyonce or any other attractive, not intimidating , visually acceptable star/singer/actress, there is more to appreciate. Her talent is multilevel. Put her in a video as a background
dancer, wire her jaw shut-would be a different story I believe.
She gives something for everyone so that helps to offset and remove the "stank" element. Women are less offended.
I think the more you give and have to offer, the more people tend to
appreciate you anyway.
You know?

It's b/c she has the ability and smarts to be paid millions of dollars for it. If those same ladies wanted the opportunity to be where she is than work hard for it. I don't knock anyone for there hustle just respect yourself.
