Beyonce released a new video recently that set off a fascinating discussion about the relationship between race and retro fashion. In "Why Don't You Love Me?", the beautiful Ms. Knowles plays B.B. Homemaker, who is a sort of melange of two famed Betties: Betty Draper and Bettie Page. Let me state for the record before I get into the discussion: I loved this video. I think Beyonce does both Betty Draper and Bettie Page better than the originals! The scenes of her crying into her martini are truly priceless.
