That's essentially good news for us, because a certain fella called Patrick went out of his way to make Ireland a snake-free zone, but it's a total pisser for Beyonce - especially when you consider how much work went into it.
Firstly, one must conceive the idea of a one-legged shiny silver cobra jumpsuit. Then you have to track down a sizeable skin to make the bloody thing. That delight when to NYC designer Rubin Singer (he's Russain born, his dad used to design for the Bolshoi Ballet, don't you know). According to Page Six - Singer "locates special rare skins in Europe and Asia, then moulds and fashions them himself. In his workplace. On her mannequin." No hassle at all involved there. That's why he only charges in the region of six figures for his collections.
Apparently there was mass hysteria when the outfit wasn't permitted to enter Europe, but thankfully the 32-year-old singer's stylists sorted out the paperwork with customs and the outfit has arrived just in time for her show in Portugal tomorrow night,
As for whoever dreams up Beyonce's stage outfits, they'd want to watch themselves a few episodes of Nothing To Declare before they think about putting her in a reptile suit next time.
And there endeth today's 'non-story'.
