OlderRihanna - "Allure" January 2008
Rihanna (in Lanvin) lets her guard down in the January 2008 issue of Allure, as shot by Michael Thompson.
The Barbados babe shot the cover at New York City’s Lux Studio with Robin Thicke‘s CD, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, playing in the background.
On her so-called fling with Josh Hartnett: “I went to [the club] Pink Elephant, and he came by. All of a sudden, the next day I’m seeing that we were kissing and hugging up each other. You can’t even go out with a friend who’s a celebrity and have a good time without people making shit up…well, at least he’s good-looking, right?”
On regularly clearing up American misconceptions about Barbados: “I can’t get upset. They just don’t know. (Barbadians speak English, have roads, and use indoor toilets.)”
On chopping her hair off into a precise bob and dying it black like Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux: “My friends still live in Barbados, and they let me know that everyone asks for the ‘Rihanna haircut.’”
On being teased growing up for having paler skin than her peers: “I was cultured in a very ‘black’ way. But when I got to school I’m being called ‘white’…they would look at me, and they would curse me out. I didn’t understand.”
On beauty being in the eye of the beholder: “While in America beautiful is skinny, in Barbados it’s thick—girls with huge butts and nice curves.”

D.a.m.n right we do. That is so true what she said though, being from Barbados myself and living in the UK, I have to deal with those misconceptions on a daily basis.
Nice to read about her talking about her (well our) home country. She is fantastic. Thanks JJ.
I know many white Bajans. She’s not that pale.
Funny most of the Bajans Iin my area are very wealthy and very educated. And I would never think they don’t have toilets. Please.
big up bim
bless up bim
I am a white bajan and she is def not pale, but I could see why she would get teased, anyways now she can look at all of those who used to tease her and just basically go ha.
Overexposed.

cute i love seeing rihanna on magazine covers
Just beautiful, i’m buying that mag!
I dont believe for one bit she got teased for being PALE. I am West Indian, and we are very Colour Struck. If u’re light your’re beautifull. If u get teased for anything is being DARK SKINNED. We still have that Stupid Slave mentallity.
You and who for maiter comment of your blog on my riri OK
5 HEAD!
“You can’t even go out with a friend who’s a celebrity and have a good time without people making **** up…well, at least he’s good-looking, right?”…THANKS FOR MAKING SURE WE KNOW IT WAS A PR STUNT. HA! CAMERA *****.
The majority of US citizens have that misconception, not just for Barbados, but for every island of the Caribbean. That’s sad.
i like her
i have seen a whole lot of ugly ass people who are light-skinned and ugly as white people too. Beauty is not at all white there are a lot of light and dark-skinned beautiful women. Just like with the noses long parrot noses are not beauty either, I hate it when people say black folks noses are too wide,,, well hello….. white long noses arent the best noses either. I have seen blacks with small noses and whites with big noses. There are people in the world born with 6 arms and one eye and all kinds of messed up parts and people worry about the size of a nose… pathetic people with this beauty crap… all this plastic surgery and your ass is still fucked up in the head…. and dont talk about when that plastic junk starts slipping. omg?
she looks amazing i love this girl, i think she will take some grammy’s home very soon!!
we get the picture dee dee
@ nikki…i didnt expect her to say that either. i don’t know people to get teased because they’re too light. & rihanna isn’t light, she’s brown skinned. it’s not like she’s the same color as chris brown.
