This is kinda looking more like that hot fuschia she wore here http://www.specktra.net/t/185079/lightbox/post/2478443/id/215013 I hope so, because that looks amazing to me, and I don't think the fuschia in her holiday line looks quite like in the above image. As far as Rihanna as the next VG spoke's lady - great choice. From a buisnes perspective, they are building on the momentum she's already gained - and likely, this was part of original negotiations. In terms of pop culture and fashion, yup still on point there. Ultimately, it's a product and not a significant indicator of anyone's morals at the end of the day. To me, I agree with many in that I was raised to know the difference and was never encouraged to follow someone absolutely but make decisions on my own volition, using the wisdom my parents and faith taught - and not to judge others for how they come to their decisions, forgive them of their actions - shoot, might as well add that I was taught to mind my own business and worry about my own life!
I've come to like Rihanna way more than other celebrities because of her integrity to herself in face of the onslaught of judgement and ridicule. It's not up to her to take responsibility for how the youth live their lives, and she has always said she is not perfect or trying to lead by example all the time. This campaign however, is one way, love her or hate her, she is using her influence and creativity for good - I'm ready to celebrate her for that! But back to makeup - the packaging is hot! Guess I'll have to make sure I work over the holidays at my pt job so I can budget for this. *sigh*
