Things I'd Like to Tweet About Beyoncé's Maybe-Baby
by Jackie Jennings
Beyonce may or may not be pregnant — she says she is not, and presumably she would know — but is she Hard-Knock(ed) Life up? See? There is so much to be said about the most anticipated baby in the history of man (sorry, Jesus). But is it worth the inevitable follower loss that would accompany an all-day Tweetathon of nothing but remarks about Beyonce’s unborn diva fetus? Well of course it is. Still, in the interests of good social media hygiene, I have instead gathered said Tweets into this compendium, to be consumed all at once. Just like with tapas, it’s always super-annoying when they bring out the dishes one at a time.
Suggestions for Beyonce’s baby’s alter ego: Diaper Blaze, Placenta Magenta (applicable in utero only), Alexis Snapdragon #beyoncesbaby

If this baby doesn’t work out, they can always tell people it quit and replace it with a cuter, more talented baby. #beyoncesbaby #latoya4ever
Good genes from your mom, tacky jeans from your grandmom’s (clothing line) #beyoncesbaby
You can install a crib on the deck of a yacht, right? #beyoncesbaby
