Music Rihanna: reluctant “role model” In the previous post, Kathleen mentioned the Black Girls Rock event that aired last night. Rihanna was presented with the Rock Star Award.

Music Rihanna’s green tracksuit A certain person in a certain outfit… Picture my ma, for instance, a Chinese lady wearing a visor, like this: In this green Gucci tracksuit. That’s one way of doing it. But that also means I would probably never do it. I couldn’t do it. Rihanna though… She By Lainey • Mar 29, 2016 01:04 pm
Music Rihanna’s fourth VOGUE Rihanna covers the new issue of VOGUE. It’s her fourth time. She’s in Tom Ford. Tom Ford loves Rihanna. Anna Wintour loves Rihanna.
