Not shocking, her clothing/style is the first thing, hell, mostly the only people notice about her. Thats a good look for her though!
How are you a fashion icon for having a very sharp and polished style this past year?
I wouldn't consider her a fashion icon...but, whatever. Not like they could put anything else up there.
i would, mike
lol at mike! i think she is a fashion icon...i mean how long do you have to be in the industry to get that title? she got almost 25% of hollywood to chop off their hair and go darker...and her style is flawless... go rihanna...gucci? hell yes! i'm not totally sold on her completely, but i respect anyone's hustle and this chick works HARD! i must say though...GO AWAY for a while and get some singing lessons and come back better than before! i wonder how much they'll pay her?
Someone explain to me what a fashion icon is 
She needs dancing lessons before she gets singing lessons. You can be an okay singer but if you can't dance, you can't be a good performer and if you can't be a good performer, you won't last.
Everybody is a fashion icon these days. But She has come a ong way since her start.
She looks all drugged out in that picture. I don't buy the fashion icon title either. I've never even heard of this magazine. When Vogue declares her a fashion icon, then I might be able to admit to it. Although they did lose some face with me by putting JHud on the cover with her fly trap wide open.
@NGB
true but i doubt that with dancing lessons she could be a "performer" plus i read that she took ballet???? she just doesn't have any stage presence or stage charisma, and i definately think that the only way to cover that up is to improve those vocal chops...i could be wrong though...
@MIKE
in my opinion an fashion icon is a person whose style influences alot of people, inspires alot of people and causes alot of people to copy...just going by blogs like brownsista and concrete loop people are always requesting to find something that she wore and cheaper versions of it and the bloggers post it...also she was inspiration for d-squared no? plus everyone and they mama in hollywood and beyond rushed for the "rihanna cut" and copied the color even our trusty resident diva...
wack, they are giving all these fake ass celebrities the fashion icon label, this 55head bitch is far rom and fashion icon
@ gosh
I agree. However, I feel is you can dance, you can very well put on a good show. As far as charisma, I don't know if she lacks it or what but all you need to do as far as concerts is be able to dance, get the crowd involved (maybe sing-a-long), have the right energy and stage designs (lights, sparks etc.)
When they say "fashion icon", does that mean all girls should dress like her?
If anyone is close to a fashion icon, I'd say Solange, for her unique styles.
kyandi, you remind me a lot of shemar d.
Her stylist is the fashion ICON.
Rihanna cant be a fashion ICON because she copied from someone else and she did not make people cut off their hair the weather did. Every summer we see new stuff in the industry the media has made this chick and they will be the one to destroy her.
But again, her clothing gets top bill when ever discussing her.
People talk about the Knowles but their style is better to me cause their original.
She was to debut her new video yesterday but with Alicia and Keri (true talent artist) coming with new vids her and the label delayed it. If they really had faith in this chick they should've bought it out to prove to people that she is for real and can go up against anyone.
^^ I agree with the whole personal stylist thing being the fashion icon but wouldn't that also apply to the other celebrities being dubbed as fashion icon. I mean, I'm sure most, if not all of them, have personal stylist.
Maybe the weather did make people cut off their hair, but that doesn't mean that they had to get it cut in the same style as Rihanna. I will give her credit for the hair. Even if she didn't invent the style, she had people wanting to get it.
I too think that Beyonce dresses nice. It was this one green outfit with stocking that she wore that Toya posted and some people hated it but I thought it was decent.
Does anyone know when "Bad Girl" is set to premiere?
Calling her a fashion icon is a disgrace to fashionistas all around the world. Again, I guess it's the only compliment they can give her, even if it is a lie. We all know she "sings" like a goat giving birth; "dances" like she just discovered she had feet; looks like a 12 year old boy with a bad haircut. What else could they write? Toya and Mike paid them ahead of time so they had to stick something up there! LOL.
LOL @ Young. Hey love 
Awww, Mia! Hello! All settled in?
"dances" like she just discovered she had feet
Never mind about the Bad Girl premiere. It's next friday. That video better be worth the wait.
WTF!!!WHY IS SHE STILL HERE???
I think Bad Girl was a bad choice. I think Striptease woulda sent them right to #1! I know the radio would play that constantly.
"She was to debut her new video yesterday but with Alicia and Keri (true talent artist) coming with new vids her and the label delayed it."
BULLSHIT . Please pass me whatever the fuck it is your smoking!
Why would they be worried about Alicia, and most definitely Keri?! Rihanna is a SINGLES ARTIST (which is why "Disturbia" is number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 WITHOUT a video). She shits effortlessly on A.Keys & Keri, in terms of singles, of course LOL. I HIGHLY doubt they were the reason.
Hey everybody
F U Mike!
I'm sorry but how could Keri be a problem for anyone?
LOL @ Young!
I love you too, Mia
So Mia, did you get settled in?
Yesterday was horrible. We started at 5:30am and didn't lay down to bed until 10pm. I'm still exhausted. One of my dogs is totally freaked out about the move. I'm gonna have to drug her tonight so I can get some sleep. We've given ourselves until the end of the month to be completely unpacked.
She'll get used to it. I didn't know you could drug dogs, thought that was only for babies and toddlers.
As much as I love Keri, I agree. Keri is a new artist and a new artist won't really have another artist biting their fingernails, worried and thinking "Is she/he gonnna take my spot." We have to wait and see how Keri's first and second single does before anyone starts to view her as a threat. However, she could just release an album every year to get remembered and then she would be very popular.
@ Young
Striptease is a good single choice. It might be next. With this album, they have so many choices to choose from. I prefer the original "Sucka 4 Love"
I prefer the original "Sucka 4 Love"
Not Gettin' Bodied | 07.16.08 - 7:16 pm | #
Is there another version besided the album one?
@ Young ~ I'll give her some benadryl.
Rihanna didn't start shit with hair this past year. If anybody did, Model Agyness Deyn did.
I was gonna ask the same thing, Mia. I also love Key to My Heart but I know that isn't a good single choice. Also, shouldn't that be called Key to Your Heart?
She looks odd looking here. I probs wouldn't say she's a fashion icon yet LOL. She does dress niceeee though.
AND, I've heard Beyonce & Jay-Z are staying at the Celtic Manor, which is like 1 mile away from my house. Because Jay-Z's performing at Cardiff tonight. Woo.
What manner do you stay at NR?
Huh Ja? The Celtic Manour is like this 5* hotel. It's where the Rider Xup is going to be held aswel hehe.
Manor*
Cup*
@ Mia
Yeah. There's a version where a guy comes up after the hook and says "you're a sucka, you're a sucka, you're a sucka 4 love..."
I'll try to find
im sick of this non talented chick already & she only been in the game for 3 years on her 3rd album already and all her people seem to shove her down our throats & people complain thats bee's overexposed. anyway i cant wait for brandy and bee lps we need some real talent.
Fashion Icon? Face of Beauty? She is just above pretty, and far from a fashion icon. She is more like a fashion sponge than anything else, the way she absorbs others' styles.
I saw her on Extra last night, and I am just too through with her. She was talking about recent "edgy" style choices she made with InStyle, like "wearing brown and black together" and "wearing a leather jacket with a dress".
WHAT THE FUCK? I can't even just write WTF on that.
This chick is as edgy as a bowling ball or crustless bread.
She wouldn't know edgy if somebody threw her off a cliff.
Personally, I'd like to test that last one.
^
E.Jay you know you have to calm the fuck down.
LMAO @ E.Jay
With all this discussion about Danity Kane, I think they should've released Pretty Boy or Strip Tease.
And for anyone who likes Addiction from Ryan Leslie and Cassie, it's on the U.S. iTunes, don't know about U.K. one though.
And HAAAAAAAAAAY everyone.
riri is killing it as far as style stop hating girls and ladies and even men or whateva
Co-signs with NR
It's some angry motherfuckers on this site.
Way to hold it down E.Jay
This is gonna be the oddest and most embarrassing question I've ever asked....but I look at you all like family so I will ask...
How do you get rid of roaches?
Someone came to visit me, and they have roaches in their home, and I just saw two in my kitchen! I am soooooo freaking out bc we've NEVER had this problem before! I'm about to scrub down my whole house with pine-sol and bleach...someone HELP!
LOL @ Kara. Go to Home Depot or something and buy some of their house spray. Then just go around your house spraying the doors and baseboards. I'd spray the outside too.
@ Kara, I'm not sure. But like Mia said, buy some sort of spray. Ask on Yahoo or Google, they've probs got some good answers somewhere.
Thanks guys! It just shocked the hell outta me, I go to get a snack and something comes running from under the microwave! I'm scrubbing down to destroy a possible nest, but I am so scared to find more!
The information about disturbia debuting yesterday was just rumor it was not a statement from her label
http://popsugar.com/1788269
I see Rihanna is cutting her own hair now.......
RIHANNA HAD WEAVE?! Holy shit
I really thought it was her real hair!
Brandy's 1st Single News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1st single is insane....its in a league of its own and its a totally new direction for Brandy....not a club banger or a ballad...its a very emotional record..."Right Here Waiting"!
It is indeed produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins!
^ Where'd you find that out.
I'm not getting my hopes up, it'll either get pushed back endless amounts of time or just bore the shits out of me. (Excuse me language)
Rihanna is starting to feel herself a little too much.
Bye, Mike! You thought that was her hair?!?
She's gonna be bald before we know it. I can guarantee, that won't be a good look for her what so ever.
She needs to be growing it out to cover all of her ummm....genetic flaws, not cutting it shorter and shorter.
I love rihanna. she is a fashion icon shes the best. end of story
@ Kara
I never had roaches but I have been to houses where there are roaches. We buy Raid spray just in case a cockroach or spider gets in the house from outside, especially during summertime.
A word of advice, whenever you visit someone's house with roaches, ALWAYS shake down your clothes. Don't let them bitches get in the house, whatever you do!!!
So you're telling me, her hair on that magazine cover is a weave? Are you sure...
When I moved back to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, my apartment was laced with roaches. We also had fruit flies. You couldn't eat without swatting flies out of your face. While it toughened me a bit, I don't walk into a house without looking around like a C.I.A. agent for any critters.
^ LMAO.
Nathan, that's not funny. You have no idea how many sleepless nights I had, because I thought I felt something crawling on me.
I wasn't laughing at that JaJa. Don't get all pissy on me again.
I was laughing at, "I don't walk into a house without looking around like a C.I.A. agent for any critters."
I suffer from arachnophobia. A few years ago I made Joey drive 20 miles (each way) from his work to our house to kill a big ass spider that was in my bathtub. I had my son standing guard to make sure it didn't escape.
I was just joking wit ya NR. Me and old roomies laugh and reminisce about that time. We had World War 3 with a roach one time in the kitchen. We tore the whole kitchen up over 1 roach.
I can remember when I was asleep, in the middle of the night and I heard a grasshopper in my bedroom. I was hunting around the bedroom with a tennis racket, I was there for hours looking for it. I never sleep with my window open now.
LMAO Mia. I hate spiders, but I'm not that bad. I'll just put a cup on it. And get someone else to kill it later.
I seen some nasty ass roaches on the streets of Hollywood. I'm talking, 3-4 inches long, just walking down the street with the flow of traffic.
Shit is disgusting!
Do you think it's true that cocroaches can survive a nuclear bomb?
Street roaches are hard to kill. You can shoot the bastard, and it's still going to run away with half a body.
I remember last summer I was in the kitchen cleaning off the counters and I felt something on my foot. I look down and there's a big ass wolf spider sitting on my foot. I flung him off, went running through the house trying to find my cell phone. I called Joey crying (I don't EVER cry). He had to stay on the phone as my moral support while I doused that spider with Raid. When I was spraying him, he had his 2 front legs up in the air flailing around. It's funny in hindsight. Not so much when it actually happened. Joey always makes fun of me because I'm always eyeing the walls.
@ Mia.
Are you a really girly girl? I can imagine you being one.
Awwwwwwl @ Mia & Joey.
I can't stand spiders myself. I just don't see their evolutionary purpose.
"I called Joey crying (I don't EVER cry)."
SHE SHEDS TEARS!!!?!
*dies*
Call me what you wanna, but I'd rather play with roaches than touch any kind of amphibian
Spiders are my one weakness.
Yes NR, I'm very girly. You wouldn't believe all of the shoe boxes we moved yesterday. My shoes needed their own UHaul.
When I was younger, I went to the National Zoo in Washington DC... and tried to take my grandma into the "Reptile House" and I almost lost my life that day. She went OFF
Love it.
Can I ask something random...
Do you guys in America sleep with your curtains open. Because I realised when I'm watching american TV they always leave there curtains open when they go to bed.
And I used to tease my little brother because he's deathly afraid of spiders... especially the big ones. I printed out huge pictures of the "Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula" aka the "Dinner Plate Tarantula" and I taped them to his walls and to the front of his TV set while he was sleeping.
He woke up and did a Mama Payne from Martin. Started screaming and yelling and he hid under his bed. Refused to leave and come out of the room until I took off the pictures LOL
My curtains are always closed at night.
Lizards are my problem now. I have a patio that goes up to my house, and lizards love to hang out on the walls out my door at night. When I wake up and go outside to run in the mornings, one is coming in because it was on my door. Does Raid prevent lizards?
David you are too mean.
Hell nah... curtains are closed. I don't get why they do that.
Thanks for answering that. It was bugging me.
My curtains are closed at night, but ALL of my neighbors leave there's open. I swear my street is a peeping tom's dream.
LMAO Ja.
Why do they leave them open, to keep it cool?
How was your first day NR?
I'm sorry MIA... but it was hilarious!
But if anyone wants to mess me up... I'm afraid of bees. I almost got hit by a car last week running away from one
I don't know. And they have every light on in their house at the same time.
"I'm afraid of bees. I almost got hit by a car last week running away from one"
I hate Dragonflys. And Horseflys. I'll run for dear life if I see any one of those mofo's around me
Toya, Toya, Toya. You have know idea how boring it is. It goes so slow. But my mum said any jobs like that.
I was just doing filing today, and using the fax machines. (All the shit jobs the others don't want to do).
I trained to use Oracle yesterday. It just went over my head.
But if anyone wants to mess me up... I'm afraid of bees. I almost got hit by a car last week running away from one
David aka DMV is in LA! | 07.16.08 - 10:01 pm
LOL. You must've been terrified of Beyonce's Bee outfit.
@NR: What's the Oracle? Wasn't that in the Matrix ?
I hate Bees and wasps. I especially hate the big fat bumble bees. Everyone says they don't sting, but so. They hover around, then speed off.
Oracle, the computer program?
LOL Mike. It's sort of like a database to input data into to create queries etc. I don't see why they can't use Microsoft.
I got stung by a wasp on my little finger once if any of you are interested.
I swear I seen a bumblebee with 3 stingers. It was HUGE and it was laying on the ground... but I'll be damned if I was gonna stick around to find out. I HATE them things.
And only Beyonce could make a bee sexy as fuck LOL
Ja, yeah.
Aw, just think about that pay check if it's that depressing
I got stung on the head by a wasp...My grandmother put a damn cigarette where it stung me
LOL! That's the only thing that keeps me going.
After like half an hour of filing I was just shoving them anywhere. I hope they don't check.
LOL... why a cigarette?
And NR... where are you working at?
H&M Prison Service, just in the offices.
You find out some interesting stuff actually about prsioners that has escaped.
Ugh, I HATE BUGS. 
I swear one a daddy-long legs was chasing me, but I had my little brother smoosh it with his hands.
I guess the sting/cigarette combo is one of those old timer "remedies". My mom used to make me put butter on minor burns
And hey everyone.
How's everyone on this outrageously hot day?
Mike, I bet that's not why she was burning you with cigarettes.
Mike likes it rough.
Oh yea Mike, I been meaning to ask you... why do you have a big ass picture of a staph infection as your gravatar?
Lol
Anybody wanna buy me an iPhone?
Oh yea Mike, I been meaning to ask you... why do you have a big ass picture of a staph infection as your gravatar?

End of discussion
Hey Mia, since Young's not here, WHERE IS MY LACEFRONT?
Sasha Sandy Brown hasn't arrived.

"Hater" is such a cliche word Mike. I thought you were better than that.
Kelsi, when it's hot like this, I got 3 words for you...
Arizona Mucho Mango
TRUST me
LMAO @ Mike.
That's a little extreme..Santo's only got ONE album under her belt.
Beyonce & Jay-Z may actually be less than a mile away from me. Are you all jelous?
Thats why I was telling Kara to shake her stuff down when she leaves someones house.
Earlier this week, I was leaving a friend's house and while I was driving home, I felt something on me, I quickly put on the brakes, turned on the lights, and saw a damn spider on my leg. I asked my friend for help and he took off his shoe. When he did, my car smelt so bad, I made him put it back on. (I'd rather have the spider on me). I quickly jumped out of the car in the middle of the street and started wiping myself down.
Hey Mia, since Young's not here, WHERE IS MY LACEFRONT?

I couldn't find another way to describe you Mia LOL.

NR
Now is your chance to get back cool with the BCC.
Yeah BCC, suck on that!
If Solange was down the street, I'd be jealous
Go take a picture. Say "RIHANNA RULES", get her reaction, then sell the picture!
That damn Forehead of Doom must've shined so bright it made the FedEx truck swerve off the road..My lacefront better be okay!
I couldn't find another way to describe you Mia LOL.
Mike | 07.16.08 - 10:22 pm |
Ummm, how about the most awesome girl you've ever chatted with on the internet regarding the most awesomeness of all awesome women in the entire world (times infinity of course)? Yes, you know I'm talking about the Queen of All Music, Beyonce.
Well seeing as Rihanna will end up looking like Mr.Clean in 2 years... she probably stole the lacefront for herself
Go take a picture. Say "RIHANNA RULES", get her reaction, then sell the picture!
Mike
That's what Sandra Rose would do.
Loads of people are having surgary to make their foreheads bigger just to be like Rihanna. LOL.
Go take a picture. Say "RIHANNA RULES", get her reaction, then sell the picture!
Mike | 07.16.08 - 10:23 pm
I think you need a special camera to get all of that forehead in one shot and then you've got to fight the glare too. Who's got the money to buy a camera that does all those special things?
That damn Forehead of Doom must've shined so bright it made the FedEx truck swerve off the road..My lacefront better be okay!
KELSi | 07.16.08 - 10:23 pm |
It's a lacefront! Beyonce tested those herself last year. Remember?
"Yes, you know I'm talking about the Queen of All Music, Beyonce."
the Queen of...Overratedness!
Beyonce would probably just shake her head and say These damn fools don't realize that the queen is coming back.
Fashion Icon MY ASS!!!
OMG! I totally forgot about Sandra Rose...she goes hard for Riri. She's our third member of the Alien Brigade
We dogged Sandra out on C+D this morning.
B.C.C. for life Mike, remember that. 
I think you and Toya are better off by yourselves. Just my opinion though....
@Ja: LMAO! On which post?
Is Toya's World better than C+D?
BCC from...now until never
@Mia: You don't like Sandra either?
On the Guaranteed Fresh post with the guy with the 'LA Clippers' bmw. We were waiting for Fresh to clock in.
C+D?
Toya's World is more personal to me. But I have a lot of hommies at C+D. They are the wittiest people I e-know.
Toya's World is more personal to me. In what way?
Awh, are the people over at C+D more fun than us.

What kind of fuckery is this?
Ya'll are a trip over there
I don't understand 75% of what the blog owner is talking about sometimes, though LOL.
I hardly visit C+D, It's to americanised for me.
The first blog I've ever frequented was Beauty N the Beat. The second was Toya's World. BNTB is no longer with us. So...

I'm really tame when I'm on Toya's World, which probably is a good thing.
I hate Pretty Ricky too. WACK!!!
I'm killing Jeopardy right now.
