all of the lights?

Thoughts & Concerns:
I love Yezzy. Even though this video damn near gave me a killer headache because of 'all of the lights'. I'm getting old aren't I?

I feel bad for Rihanna. She's already mastered the beast known as short hair, and now I think she's confused as to where to go from there. Ronald McDonald is proud. Stiff red weave for everyone!

Kid Cudi's part in this song has always managed to excite me, even though Kid Cudi very often manages to make me dry heave. That red jacket doesn't make me want to vomit, so I guess he gets a free pass.

Where in the shit was Fergie?!
Where in the shit was Alicia Keys?!
Who in the shit knew La Roux was even featured on this song?

Done.

things that make you go hmm.

I just want to let you all know I'm writing this post with an open mind. An open mind. OPEN MIND.

Sometimes I have to say it a couple times before it actually happens...

Now that my mind is open I can adequately analyze these photos and render my clear, concise, and nonjudgmental opinion. But let's leave the bullshit at the door and get right down to it. I think these photos are Ok. Some of the photos I like a lot, and some of them are typical. Typical is not what I was expecting to feel. They don't blow me away, but the also don't leave me wanting to slap someone. I'm sticking to my initial opinion, she still looks awkward and more Grace Jones-ish than before, only after seeing all the photos from the supplement I'm now left feeling...weird for lack of a better word. Think about it: she's pretty much the love child of women like Kelis, Grace Jones, Madonna, and Courtney Love. I'd also say Fefe Dobson for the sake of being obvious, but Rihanna has surpassed Fefe level.

Rihanna may be a culmination of all the bad ass vixen fire cracker women entertainers of the last 20 years, but she lacks one thing: IT. Grace Jones woulda tore this editorial up, down, ate it, spit it back out, and served it to us on a plate of fire. These pictures may remind me of Grace Jones, but Rihanna lacks the one thing Grace, Madge, Kelis, and Courtney have: INHIBITION. It just seems like she's putting on a show...like the tough girl who talks a good game but ain't about shit. Or maybe I'm wrong... [rihannadaily]

PS. Digging the big. That is all.

nipple!

Hey look everyone, its Rihanna's nipple! This weekend Princess Glowstick, I mean, Rihanna, pulled a Lil Kim. As much as I love this girl, she never ceases to amaze me. A friend of mine pointed out that when Lil Kim pulled a pastie move at the Grammy Awards eons ago, everyone was shitty bricks for months, but Princess of all things 'trendy' does it, and I don't hear a peep. Hmmm... Is it because it's a different time and things are more acceptable? No, I think it's got something to do with the pedestal everyone places Rihanna on. Myself included (sometimes). People see her as a trend setter and a visionary of fashion, so when she pulls out her boob it's not a hood rat statement, its an emerging trend.

And now in the coming months I will count how many breasts I see and blame it on her.
