Risque Rihanna, back when she still wore clothes. Still: "Pour It Up" video
Another day, another drama. In today’s edition of What RiRi Did, we present to you the titillating temptress toasting last night’s CFDA win with this very classy contemporary dance:
Seeing as the songstress’ Instagram account is still up in the tech cloud, you may notice that the triumphant twerking captured above comes courtesy of her wig man. (Not a lot of hair on her head to be seen in Rihanna’s notorious get-up at the awards ceremony, but small quibble.)
Also of note: The cheeky chanteuse has just changed her Twitter profile picture to a rip-roaringly hilarious rendering of the rotund Peter Griffin of Family Guy, squeezed into a send-up of the by-now iconic bejewelled CFDA number (see below). This girl’s got guts, all right.
Because it's okay for a morbidly obese animated dude to show nip, just not on today's biggest pop provocateur, please
In more related news, the bawdy Barbadian bombshell must surely be well pleased with herself for managing to get her latest perfume ad banned in Britain.
Fine, we’re finessing the truth a little. “Restricted for kids” might be more accurate: It appears that a poster of the pop princess has been deemed too provocative for public pubescent consumption.
Cheeky chanteuse. Still: Behind-the-scenes visual for Rogue by Rihanna
We’re far from prudes, so there’s nothing wrong in our eyes with the Rogue for Rihanna campaign visual, which depicts her kicking up her kitten heels against a huge bottle of said scent. Of course, there’s the minor issue of her appearing to be nude save shoes in the ad, but unlike her CFDA costume, there’s no visible nip anywhere; we zoomed in just to be sure.
Here’s the UK Advertising Standards Authority’s rather waffly press statement on the kerfuffle: “While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna's pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative. Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.”
No word yet on whether Rogue by Rihanna will make it to Singapore shores, but as far as the allegedly offensive perfume visual is concerned, we don’t find it odious in the least.
We’ll play it safe by not linking to it here, but you can easily find it online. Let us know what you think, and RiRi, don’t ever change!
