Rihanna + Rolling Stone

If it wasn’t apparent from previous posts, I love Rihanna.

The media always seems to focus on her “Good Girl Gone Bad” persona and always comment about her personal life and I guess as an artist – you have to expect it. This is the industry you entered and you knew you would be put under a microscope. I don’t focus on those things because to me, she’s an artist with an incredible voice and stage presence that puts a lot of others to shame AND mainly because I don’t know her personally, so who am I to judge? I’m sure there are plenty of average Joe’s & Jane’s whose actions would make Rihanna look like a saint.

She graces the latest issue of Rolling Stone, out on stands tomorrow.

“I decided it was more important for me to be happy. I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake.” –Rihanna

…& kudos to Terry Richardson, who is amazing at what he does.
