So as usual being slow like I am I am the last person on earth to find out about Beyonce’s alter ego Sasha Fierce. I think the Sasha persona is very interesting, and finding out about her put to rest some confusion I had about Beyonce’s rather lewd dancing in the ‘Single Ladies’ video. ah, but now I realize, it’s not her, Beyonce, it’s Sasha Fierce. I get it now, hmmmm.

I’m not a singer/musician but I am a creative person and sometimes it does feel like a ‘split’ in personality when you express your creativity in a different way. I have an alter ego, or rather my alt ego has become my dominant ego…well actually it’s more like 60/40 her/me. originally she came out when I wrote sci-fi but now she’s out a great deal of the time. I even look different in pics as Mercury dominant than as Trula dominant (compare on the home page). I know a lot of creatives are this way. I get that it does seem like an act, especially when a big/well known star does it but she probably would have done it if she was singing in her basement, kwim?

The beyonce/sasha fierce thing makes sense to me and clears up the mystery I was thinking of WTH, why is old girl showing us the grind-up like that, but the glove thingy Sasha wears has got to go!! LOL

There are a lot of creative people who have alter egos, some more are:

TI/T.I.P
Janet Jackson/damito jo
Mariah Carey/Mimi
Eminem/Slim Shady
David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust
Hank Williams/Luke the Drifter
Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines
see some pics

and what about Mary j. Blige’s alt ego Brooke? I’ve been wanting to see more of her but it’s like Mary J. killed her off or something.
MTV talks to Mary about Brooke

You know who fascinates me the most with this is Prince. He has several alter egos:
Jamie Starr
Camille
Austra Chanel

and several different pen names/pseudonyms including ‘the symbol’ and The Kid. He is so prolific…all the music he has written/produced under Prince is like an amazing amount, but it all in entirety, is like WOW. I am not a real big fan of his music but what a creative genius he is, to have mastered his time and energy to bring his creative ideas to fruition. I am amazed and wonder how he did it. probably by not being stuck working 40 hours at a job for someone else boo hiss. Let me quit whining and light my own fire!!!!!
