Beyonce kisses herself (or maybe her alter ego Sasha Fierce) in the December 2008 / January 2009 issue of Giant Magazine.
Perhaps Beyonce has been to the Self Kiss exhibit by Pupsam that Trend Hunter reported about last year.
In addition to self-kissing, Beyonce flaunts her cyborg fashion with her famous titanium glove and dramatic makeup.

Editorials that showcase this idea appeal to this target, as they illuminate particular celebrities, who have been targeted for being imperfect, being self-loving. Perhaps consumers of the future will be more confident and less swayed by unrealistic images of celebrities and models.
