RiRi Graces Cover for Elle (July 2010)

Rihanna is definitely the baddest b*!%$ in heels and her range just won't let up! Her transformation from a cute girl from Barbados to a fashion icon has been unbelievable. I absolutely adore her daring style & off- the wall fits. What can I say, Rihanna is bad! Check out the flicks & footage from her recent shoot with Elle Magazine for the July Cover Shoot.

 

Who's Rich Hil???

I couldn't wait till 'Music Monday'!! loll

Rich Hil is a pretty talented MC. I came across a song he has with Kid Cudi, Won't You Tell Me, and liked it. After further research I found out he was the son of Tommy Hilfiger, yes, the fashion designer.  This made me dubious of his talent as a rap artist but also heightened my intrigue. I started youtubing some more of his music and fell upon, Leaning on my Re-up, also ILL. I read up on him and he's got a lot of cosigns from pretty decent artists so I decided to download his mix-tape and I luhhh it!! 'I Can't Stay Longer'  and ' Love Like Mine' are my favorite tracks thus far, but i'm only on my first listen and doin it while i'm writing this.

Download Limosa Nostra Act 1 here!!. It's also rumored that he will be releasing a mixtape with Kid Cudi. 

Check Day Dream and Love my Love.

Rock$tar 101 Video!

Back to the dark side-I don't know how I feel about this...back to the leotards, spikes, and black lipstick. It's becoming routine, which is why I loved the Rude boy video. Interestingly enough, Melina Matsoukas, the director of this video also directed her Hard and Rude boy videos.  She's also responsible for: Beyonces- Why don't you love me & Diva, Snoops- Sensual Seduction, Lily Allens- Not fair and more. Now SHE seems extraordinary ( I think I luh her lol). Anyway here's her vision-Enjoy!
