A loyal reader sent this age progression photo of Jayonce Giselle Knowles-Carter at age 17. Isn’t she precious?

While the kingdom of Beyonce celebrates the joyous news of the impending royal birth, the real world is contemplating what the child will look like if she inherits her father’s full blown genes.

This would probably be the ideal situation for Beyonce because she loves her some Jay Z.

Unfortunately, in the real world, this society considers her mother’s beauty to be the gold standard by which all women — including Jayonce — are measured. So Jayonce will not get a pass.

Luckily, Jayonce’s parents are loaded and can afford the best plastic surgery that money can buy. So it’s a good bet that her high school yearbook picture won’t look much like the picture above. Bless her heart.
