I Find Excuse To Post Pictures Of Beyonce.

How many women do you know that could pull the action in the above photo off? I mean, aside from Dog the Bounty Hunter's monster of a lady. Seriously, Beyonce is so freaking gorgeous that I'm blushing with awkwardness just writing this. She makes me weak in the knees. She causes massive heart palpatations. She makes me feel funny in my underpants. Love is a wonderful thing. So wonderful in fact that I am voluntarily writing an article about Beyonce teaming with Nintendo for some new content for their Style Savvy games. Oh the things we'll do for a woman.
Now it should be said that my unhealthy crush began a long time ago, when Destiny's Child was blowing up the charts with hits like "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name." Before long, I was humming along to "Bootylicious" in my Jeep, or poppin' and lockin' to "Lose My Breath." It was a habit that garnered strange looks. Particularly from the people in my car's passenger seat. Eventually Destiny's Child broke up, and the lovely Ms. Knowles set off on her own, delivering hits like "Crazy in Love," "Ring The Alarm," and one of Tim Schafer's favorites, "Single Ladies." The worst part of this is I didn't have to look any of that up. I just know that stuff because I have a problem. Seriously though, can you blame me? Look at her! Her voice calls to me, and like so many perished sailors before me, I'm helpless to the siren's call.

Anyway, I might be crazy for Ms. Knowles, but even I don't care enough to buy a video game that she's tangentially going to be a part of. Now, when the Beyonce fitness game comes out, I'll likely be singing a different song, but for now, I'm perfectly happy with things the way they are. Should you feel so inclined, you can read the official press release below.
Fans of Nintendo’s fashion-themed Style Savvy™ game for the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems will have access to some hot new designs this year, thanks to an expanded partnership between Nintendo and renowned entertainment icon Beyoncé. Style Savvy players with broadband Internet access will soon be able to download five designs from the real-life Deréon clothing line co-created by Beyoncé and her mother, designer Tina Knowles. As managers of their own virtual boutiques, players can incorporate these chic Deréon fashions as they create one-of-a-kind looks for their in-game clientele.
“Style Savvy is all about creativity and fashion, both of which are really important to me,” says Beyoncé. “I love that I get to become a stylist and take over my own boutique, and it’s so much fun to see some of my Deréon designs added to the mix.”
The burgeoning partnership between Nintendo and Beyoncé began in 2009 with a memorable ad campaign for Rhythm Heaven™, a music-themed game for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. Known for her innovative sense of style, the talented musician and actress is an apt spokeswoman for the imaginative, fashion-forward fun of Style Savvy. Fans will get a unique glimpse into this relationship with the launch of two new Style Savvy TV spots starring Beyoncé, both scheduled to begin airing on Nickelodeon the week prior to this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and during the event itself.
After launching in November, Style Savvy enjoyed a warm reception among holiday consumers, giving fashion buffs and female gamers of all ages a remarkable new way to experience the portable fun of Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. Beyoncé’s upcoming promotional efforts and downloadable Deréon designs are set to sustain the game’s momentum well into 2010.
Style Savvy invites players of any age to express their individual sense of style by managing a virtual clothing boutique. Choosing from more than 10,000 items in a wide variety of styles, designer labels and price points, players can create distinctive looks to satisfy customers with various tastes and budget constraints. Using the simple controls of the hand-held Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi systems, players can enjoy Style Savvy anytime, anywhere.
