Rihanna’s Kool-Aid wig situation goes from bad to worse

I remember when Rihanna first came on the scene. I didn’t like her music all that much, but I thought she was a pretty little thing. Skip ahead four, five years, and I can barely remember when she actually looked cute. It’s like she’s trying to be “shocking” and avant-garde with a succession of horrible wigs, weaves, haircuts and styles. Earlier this year, she jacked her hair with that horrible half-shaved bright red mushroom-cut. She’s been growing that junk out for months, and it’s currently above her shoulders, still Kool-Aid red/pink day-glo. And now RiRi got herself a new wig. And it is fug as hell.

Ugh. I just don’t get it. And before everyone yells at me and tells me RiRi just has her own style and she’s doing her own thing - well, that’s only PART of it. The problem is that RiRi thinks she’s a trendsetter. She thinks she’s doing all of this first, and that lots of girls are going to want to try the same look - thus, the wigs and the cuts and the dye jobs. She’s trying to start a trend, and be the first one there. And instead of starting a trend, she just looks like she’s trying too hard to be different. Like she’s stuck at 14 years old.

Also - Rihanna was posing with some children over the weekend. Check out her necklace:

Rihanna actually bought and wore a necklace that reads “F-ck you”. Because she’s the most hardcore 14 year old EVER.
