It's Rihanna's World, We're All Just Living In It

Fenty everything. Literally.

Rihanna

As if sixty-one bops to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 list wasn't enough, Robin Rihanna Fenty has been working tirelessly to give her fans everything they want and more. Since starting her career in 2003, Rihanna has been becoming increasingly popular as the years go on. It's safe to say she's come quite a long way since her first hit single "Pon de Replay" appeared on the Hot 100 list in June of 2005.

Since this single was released, she's gone on to release eight studio albums, a line with Puma, a makeup line, a lingerie line, and a long list of musical collaborations with various big names. With such a successful music career, many wonder why she would risk taking a break from music to work on other projects. The truth is, Rihanna is an artist through and through, and her artistry goes way beyond the medium of music.

First, let's take a look at her inclusive cosmetics line that sent the beauty world into a frenzy. Fenty Beauty launched in September of 2017 with a few types of products, including lip gloss, Match Stix, and Killawatt pressed highlighters. Perhaps the most talked about product of her launch was the Pro Filt'r Foundation that comes in a whopping forty shades.

There has never been a makeup line so diverse that includes this many shades, ranging from shade 100 to shade 490. The release of this line started a much-needed conversation about inclusion in the beauty industry and many brands rushed to release their own version of foundations with a wide range of shades. Way to go, RihRih.

As far as fashion lines, Rihanna released her first collaboration with Puma, called FENTY Puma By Rihanna, in 2016. This line included platform sneakers, sweatshirts, and pants, among other things. She has now released three Fenty Puma collections and is set to release more next year. In addition to her Puma line, she released her very own lingerie line this year titled SAVAGE X FENTY. Included in this line are bras, underwear, bodysuits, and kinky accessories. Rihanna closed out September 12th of New York Fashion Week this year with her Fall 2018 collection. She mixed things up by premiering her line on a live stream on FENTY X SAVAGE website.

A number of the models in her show do not fit the typical image for what Fashion Week models normally look like, showing again that Rihanna is an activist for inclusivity in everything she puts her name on. Her continuous support of every type of woman does not go unnoticed. In fact, one of the models in her show, known as Slick Woods, was in Labor as she walked the Fenty runway last week. In an open letter to Rihanna in an interview with Allure Magazine, Woods thanks Rihanna for opening doors for her career and for "making inclusivity cool." Rihanna posted the letter to her Instagram page, @badgalriri, as seen here:



Essentially, Rihanna is taking the world by storm, so get used to it. It's rumored she will be releasing not one, but two new albums in the foreseeable future, an electronic dance album and a reggae album. Soon, we will probably be enrolling our children in Fenty University, driving them to school in our Fenty cars, and ordering our Fenty pre-packaged meals for dinner. If you aren't already on the Rihanna train, it's probably about time to hop aboard.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
