Horse haired Beyonce attempted to do double duty last night during her appearance at Bloomingdale’s: present her mama’s new tired ass House of Dereon collection and promote her latest role (yes, someone is still hiring her!) in the bio-pic “Cadillac Records” which tells the life of superstar jazz singer, Etta James – among others, and the famed label.

What should have been an easy venue turned into an ordeal as not only did girlfriend keep the fans and a horde of pap-pers waiting an hour and a half while she did interviews, but we were forced to listen to the soundtrack of the film.

Being a huge Etta James fan – lady rocks the mic – this should have been a pleasant interlude. However, Beyonce’s cover of “At Last” is wanting its soul-full orignator to save it from bad vocalization.

And just as the natives became restless, nappy headed Tamika Ray sashayed her hefty self onto the makeshift stage in a yellow ensemble talking bout how people were mistaking her for the woman in waiting herself.

Well, girl! So long as you believe that… Not soon after that Ms. Fro was booed by photographers and she attempted to turn her attention to the fans to not much better a reception. It seems that Tamika’s hair is also soundproof though, cuz she wanted to keep going…

Finally Beyonce took the stage and attempted to answer some question about the prom looking garbs. But all her and her mother could muster was something about loving brocade and using it as inspiration. Ummm ok Ms. Knowles. Your blue strappy heels did rock – if your dress didnt!

I believe FIT has some really great intro design courses open for registration – we should look into that Ms. Knowles…
