You guys are asking the wrong person for this lol. My scanner is **** (thank you HP) but here is some highlights:
It's not an article, it's her story (literally) of the past year in her words, first person and all. It's pretty awesome.
She talks about the Cosmetology Center she opened with her mom.
The photo shoot is rodeo inspired, her in the cowboy hat, boots, lasso, cutout maillot.
She mastered lassoing in 15 mins.
Then she goes into details about her work plans, very intense (as we all know) and how she really doesn't get to enjoy the places she gets to go, so for the I AM...World tour, she made it a point to EXPLORE the countries, so they built in some extended off days for the band and crew and called it "tour field trips"
She speaks of the young woman, in full traditional burka, enjoying herself at her concert, says it inspired some of the writing of "4".
And at the end of the tour, she FINALLY took her time off:
She went to festivals, went with her husband for the start of his tour, got a chance to settle in one place for a while, in Japan, she was apparently unrecognizable as a Harajuku girl lol, she went to a couple of clubs like that. In London, she met Sade. In Russia, she saw the ballet Swan Lake (we saw pics of this, right?) She talks about the food she enjoyed all over. She went snorkeling in the Red Sea. She says her "year off" was more like 9 months, she's so dedicated (I appreciate her so much).
And one of the best part of this was: Beyonce is an award winning performer, singer and songwriter. This is her first published story. So amazing.
