Beyoncé Covers FLAUNT Magazine's July 2013 Issue

"Icon status is an elusive, wild beast. See, no matter how many times you don a black bodysuit and the bedazzled gloves you lovingly hand-stitched to reenact the by now ubiquitous wedding dance floor song "Single Ladies"—pause for a minute to appreciate how many 11-year-old girls have done that in the last four years—you'll never be as good as Beyoncé." - Flaunt Magzine.  I think B's feature is great, a different side from the normal flawless makeup and voluminous wavy hair and we get to even learn more about her not only as a person but a look at what she likes! Check out a few bits from her interview below, XO Andrea

 Flaunt: A picnic planner is hoping to get lucky with his/her picnic companion. What's in the picnic basket?
Beyoncé: A cozy blanket, red wine, fruit, '90s R&B playing on my iPod. I don't think you need much else.

Gay men are drawn to you and empowered by you, as they have been to "gay icons" Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Cher, and Madonna. What is it about you, and those women, that gay men love?
I'm flattered if I'm in the company of those great women. I think they love that we are bold, unafraid to love, and flaunt our sexuality and strength.

What's up with gluten anyway?
I'm okay with gluten. Sunday pizza is a must for me!

Tyra Sanchez based his drag persona for "RuPaul's Drag Race" on you. What does it mean that someone who impersonates your "girl-power" persona is a man with a successful career as a female impersonator? Is there conflict there?
No conflict. I love it and Miss Tyra is fabulous!

What famous piece of architecture might you most like to do some necking in?
 The Louvre, or under the Arc de Triomphe. Paris is a beautiful, sexy city.

 Millennials make up a huge part of your fan base. Thousands of them have responded to your Instagram hashtag #beygood to promote goodwill. How do you feel about the media's take on youth as the "me me me" generation, or a generation of "slack-tivists" [people who are activists online but not in the real world]?
At my concerts I see the opposite. They are engaged in making a difference. We have collected tons of donations that will go towards creating jobs and helping people get jobs. That's something I want to celebrate. For Chime for Change we raised awareness and over $4 million in one day for equal rights for girls everywhere. So many people at that concert were young. They are more socially responsible than they get credit for.
