So…can anyone explain to me why exactly L’oreal lightened Beyonce’s skin on their most recent ad in Elle magazine?  Anybody?

This isn’t the first time Beyonce’s skin has been lightened for a magazine.  She appeared on Vanity Fair back in 2005 and many people were upset that it appeared her skin had been lightened then.  Vanity Fair responded by saying they were just trying to make her skin color fit with the new color scheme of the magazine.

…Right.  And I bet if your color scheme was darker, you never would have dared to darken a white person’s skin to make it fit with the color scheme of the magazine.

Beyonce has yet to comment on this skin-lightening mess, and I doubt she ever will.  We all know at the age of 26, she still depends on Mommy and Daddy to do all of her dirty work.
