"9...4...8...1….B'day!"

Today Beyoncé turns 32. Which means, bitch, she's grown. And an icon's day of birth deserves an iconic birthday celebration: As soon as we woke up this morning, we performed the dance break from the extended remix of "Get Me Bodied." We're wearing tear-away House of Deréon with a leotard underneath.
