Rihanna released a new music video today for her song “Where Have You Been,” and I’ve been thoroughly entertained by it. No, not because it’s a particularly good music video but because, if you turn the sound off, it’s pretty hilarious. Sure, I get the point of the video: Rihanna is saying “where have you been?” to a perfect guy because she has literally searched everywhere, as evidenced by this video in which she is literally looking everywhere. And yet, if you turn the sound off, the point of the video is completely lost. Here are a couple things Rihanna could be doing in this video:
First of all, I think you’re awesome. Your songs are catchy, and you’ve had us girls dancing like no one was watching since “Pon De Replay” came out. You’ve got some fierce style and an even more feisty attitude. You change your hair without looking like a maniac (here’s looking at you Nicki Minaj), and you can make a black gown the sexiest dress on the planet. Most of us are usually on your side. Although, I don’t forgive you for doing Bring It On 4: All Or Nothing. We don’t have to talk about that.
And it’s better than the early 90s. Even celebrities like Rihanna have been sporting the fanny as of late. I couldn’t help but notice that this fashion artifact made multiple appearances at SXSW. A street vendor, Tipsy Gypsy, actually referred to it as a “hipster belt,” and was selling them in a variety of fine leather. I know fashion is cyclical, but is this really a trend we want to recycle?
I am pretty happy with myself. It took three torturous middle school years and four years of high school full of insecurity to get me to the point where I actually like who I am and how I look (most days). But sometimes I see certain celebs, and I think, “I would kill for her (insert body part here).” I know celebs have stylists, personal trainers and hair/make-up people who help them look amazing, so it’s hard not to get jealous (because I can barely curl my own hair).
This isn’t a post about how I feel inferior to celebs and hate myself. This is about how I’m totally happy with my body, but if someone offered me Britney Spears’ stomach circa 2000, I would have no problem saying, “Yes,please!” So here’s to you hot celebs, you have the best body parts, and I may just have to kill you and steal them right off your hot bods.

Rihanna stepped out in Londontown in this sequin number. Rocking French powerhouse Givenchy, Rihanna chose to pair it with long leather gloves and some ankle strap heels. I hate that this is the second time I’m questioning Rihanna’s look, but the girl takes so many awesome fashion risks that she constantly finds herself in the hot or hot mess category.
