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.”

POzdro dla Richanny ;]
I went to primary school with Rihanna.
She lying.
Clear/ Light skinned people were “favoured”.
She lying.
o pleaze rihanna thats bull about her getting made fun of for having light skin she should close her mouth next time she want to say somthin about that anyways rihanna paints a kindof fake image of what she wants us to think she looks like cuz she has hazel eyes and i do believe her ultra pale skin happened when she came out with good girl gone bad album and she uses a special skin lightening cream to lighten her complexion more and more. i dont really like rihanna cuz since shes black she doesnt create a positve image to other black girls cuz most girls of color dont have bright green eyes and many have brown skin or deep brown skin instead of pale…pale skin indicates what da stupid media wants wich is to look more euro white and by her image she looks more towards the white category cuz they want her to look like that cuz being very light skin is appealing for the white audience which would get her more fans!
