Oh **** off omg. 160 ******* dollars. I told y'all we are just cash cows now

Another money grab without visuals, new single, international dates or new music?????? 

She’s really out of touch  And she’s probably gifting it to her celebrity friends who are the only ones spending 160$ on this.

My coworker asked me recently what was the most I've ever paid for a single book, since she saw an antique bookstore nearby and it reminded her of me. I said I hadn't paid a lot for a book in a really long time, certainly not as much as anything in that store is going for, but the most was $90 USD for a rare edition from 1922.

 

Then it struck me that I paid over $100 USD for the Renaissance tour book in Stockholm. The Renaissance tour book is the most expensive book I, a lifelong book collector, have ever purchased. I chose not to amend my original answer and keep that information to myself because it's absolutely embarrassing and shameful.

 

So yes we can and should dragT Giraffe to hell and back. Where are the visuals, you menace? Read our signs. Read our lips. We say choke up there when you see us. Get flustered. Try and come up with something else to say every night. We won't let it go, we won't let you breathe.

 

 

Unless you're releasing on the 29th then we're good

$100 for a stunning, limited and first edition, oversized photography book is really not that much, and is something you willingly paid for with no connection to visuals whatsoever.

 

The feeling of entitlement to Beyoncé's work and effort even if she's not ready, even if personal events caused the delay, even if that's just simply not something she wants to do is to put it bluntly: toxic.

 

Our support is not a direct investment in Beyoncé's career. She has not asked us to crowd source the visuals. She decides what to do with her profits. We decide if we want to buy an album, a book, a ticket, and as far as I know, we get that which we paid for.

 

I'm sure you are mostly joking in the above, but I find the allusions to violence rather disturbing. I'm also sure a lot of people will disagree with me, as they have before when I've cautioned "it's not really that big of a deal, just let her do Beyoncé" but I do think that side should be offered in a base that is in a constant state of complaint and self-imposed peril.

in before someone comes and tells us we should be grateful to live in a world where beyoncé the trendsetter is still selling perfumes 

 

Spoiler

one more thing on a long list of stuff no one asked for and that no one will buy 

 

The fact she didn’t even start rolling out the haircare line yet but she’s already leapfrogged to another side hustle Hive shakedown 

She really said "I'm not giving you visuals but I'll give you smells"  Ready for Act II to be a recipe book for Echoville food!

Perfume ad will be the visual 

"shipping november 2023"

 

Picture it : the tour has been over for a month. No new dates. No visuals. Not a word on what and if Act II is still coming. She hasn’t updated her insta in weeks. The last remaining thing to look forward to this year (and this era) is a perfume bottle with the word Renaissance on it getting shipped to her rich celebrity friends.

I'm assuming the perfume is not drugstore quality though, if this is the price. If it is, then yes that's super expensive. But most designer fragrances are upwards of $200.

 

But it seems based on the notes and the design, and the fact that it's coming in this part of her career that she is not trying to make Heat: The Renaissance Edition but something of distinction. imo the drugstore $20 perfumes (that look and smell cheap) are more a cash grab than something that (may or may not) have more thought and artistry behind it.

I have designer fragrances which is why I wouldn't buy one from a pop star. 

 

Idk, you're welcome to like it. I don't.

its a celebrity fragrance for a designer fragrance cost. a bit steep especially since you cant even smell it beforehand.

nonsense

  It really does feel like everything she and Jay do now is to increase their cache in elite circles.  Even their Oscars party is just to mingle with powerful multi-billionaires and leaders.

 

hell, they only went to Taylor Swift's birthday party that year to try to get her onboard with TIDAL to which she saw right through and said absolutely not

No one is going to make you buy the perfume.

 

The fact that it is released is not a detriment to anything.

 

There is no way Beyoncé said "it can only be the perfume or the visuals; I choose perfume."

 

I think a lot of us would be happier if we just got excited about what is happening and/or ignore that which does not give us joy, and stop focusing on only what we expect to happen.

 

Like, my gosh. We've been complaining since the Lemonade era ended.

I was wondering why this thread filled with 30+ replies.

 

As a hardcore perfume stan I actually am curious to smell this. It's not my favorite genre of perfume but I'm interested in how she thinks "Renaissance" smells. I get it

 

As a Beyoncé stan I hope it's a roundly panned commercial misfire, unsold stock landing at discounters' by spring

when I spray Eau de Reneigh on my taint before going out for a night where I’ll end up getting railed in a club parking lot 

shes SICK
