Call it the Bey Paradox. One of the things that separates a star who will fade from an icon who will last is this: Icons can reconcile a major cultural paradox through the power of their images. We turn them into icons. Marilyn Monroe is the prime example here. The Bey Paradox does the kind of work that made Marilyn Monroe an icon. Or should they take pride in working hard and earning their perfection? Are alter egos a good coping mechanism for perfectionists?

I just want to be really attentive to the fact that if I were coaching her, I would want to shift every aspect of her life from perfectionism to excellence.

And I would probably tell her that completing projects at 85 percent is enough for her. Her 85 percent is our percent. Is that something that more perfectionists should do to work through their problem? One of the most important things we should do as human beings is share our secrets. Secrets equal shame. If you confess, you let go of shame, other people see your vulnerability, and they love you more.

She looks stunning when recording close-ups of herself in bad lighting. She looks stunning when she's going into labor. Watching her perform flawlessly is a thrill.

Watching her go through hard times without a hair out of place just makes you feel bad about yourself. Well, of course it can. And in Life Is but a Dream , she's clearly feeling real, human emotion when she describes hearing the rumor that she has faked her pregnancy.

And that was a particularly nasty rumor. That's why perhaps everyone was so angry about the lip-syncing scandal following her performance of the national anthem on Inauguration Day.
