Beyoncé's "Countdown" Video
Bey channels Audrey Hepburn, Jennifer Beals, and Marcel Marceau (right?). Hypnotic.

I mean, honestly. The most fabulous woman alive.
Did she just brainwash me to kill the prime minister of Malaysia?
oh my god that last shot! i love her so.
@madge I know! She has never looked prettier!
@madge srsly. prettiest girl ever.
@madge She looks amazing across the spectrum – from superglam-sparkly-dress to oh-hey-I-just-woke-up.
this almost convinces me to buy a push-up bra.
@Lucia Martinez Right?!? I'm going to assume these are her pregnancy boobs, cause they are fantastic.
@Lucia Martinez It makes me want to shave my head and raid B's collection of wigs.
But seriously, I just had to watch this without sound because I'm "teaching" class. I'm not sure that didn't just make the whole thing that much more amazingly fun. Beyonce is so pretty.
@meattubs SO PRETTY. My little sister tells me that I look like her when she wants to borrow money, and I hold onto that compliment like its the gospel truth.
@Lola Because you do TOTALLY look like her! If I send you my address, will you mail me $400? Because there is this dress that I want and … have I ever told you how much you look like Beyonce?
Aren't little sisters the smartest?
So who exactly is it that I will have to make a pact with in order to look like that when I'm pregnant?
@HeyThatsMyBike jay z
And the eyes are sometimes a little Nicki Minaj, no? Also more sneering please. You look so pretty when you sneer.
Ok we love this right? Yes? Right. Good. Love it.
@julia That sneer was to die for.
@julia I think there's a J-Lo moment right towards the end, too.
@julia YES! I love this, but that is def Nicki's signi-blink. Tribute… or THEFT??
Beyonce!!! Your SHOULDERS. How do they dooooo that?
@Katie Heaney I emailed The Hairpin about how to have The Best Time I Planned A Pinup in Minneapolis. Edith says you and Emily Weiss might be hatching a Hairpinup Plan for the Twin Cities, though, and to get in touch with you.
Are you? ARE YOU??? If you are, should I just be all YAY and show up? Or do want… um… some kind of help? (What kind of help can one provide? I have no idea…)
It would be kind of fun to have dueling Pinups, but not as fun as actually just going to the only Pinup. So… you know.
@AnthroK8 guess what guess what?! Emily and I have been emailing about this all morning and I MAY have just made a poster for it so look for it SOOOOON!!
@Katie Heaney OH YAY! I am verrrr excited. I am already planning what shoes to wear.
First of all, I LOVE THIS SONG AND I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH IT FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW.
Secondly, she just looks SO HAPPY all the time now and I love it.
If anyone could figure out how to combine Funny Face with Flashdance, it's B. Love her.
oh yeah! also channeling the "got a lotta livin' to do" dance scene from bye bye birdie and maybe also En Vogue? Love.This.Woman.
I need to buy some thick headbands…
@myrna.minkoff I know, right? SO MUCH amazing headwear
Beyonce is ACES at making the contrapposto stance look sexy.
I have never had strong feelings about Beyonce, and watching this I had two. Well, three. They were:
Lord jesus she is a very pretty woman. The pageboy Jackie O haired Beyonce in particular. Or Audrey Beyonce.
Is this video almost over yet? I want to stop watching it because I am bored on one level, but I am also in love with it on one level WHAT IS GOING ON.
I really should get Jay Z's book.
For all Canadians/others for whom the video is not available in your damn region: http://www.beyonceonline.com/ca/countdownvideo
I love her with black hair!!
@thenotestaken The black is AWESOME on her. I think she should switch to that from the blonde.
OH MY GOD I LOVE HER
I am very interested in the choreography movements referencing the pregnancy and the occasional random belly shot.
Also, now I want a FRINGE!
THIS SONG. And THIS VIDEO. Yes please.
Am I the only one that thought it looked like a really long American Apparel ad? Turtleneck leotard? Brooklyn loft? No?
And a bit of Anna Karina. I caught the AA advert too.
and the usual…
