I Thought Bedazzling Was Only For Jean Jackets?
Uhh, so I don't even know where I stumbled across this yesterday, (maybe twitter), but ladies there is a new trend being advocated by Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the trend is Vajazzling.
What is Vajazzling? Well it's exactly what it sounds like...bedazzling the vag. And these are no ordinary bedazzles...they're Swarovski. Apparently the Completely Bare Spa in New York City put bedazzling on the map and J.Love is its biggest advocate. According to the spa men, "LOVE it! They love it even more especially when it's a suprise."
I don't even know what to say.
This biddie got vajazzled and blogged about it, giving you the whole play by play. The link is posted below, for those who are as curious as I was.

Jennifer Love Hewitt made Vajazzling public knowledge on the George Lopez Show, so I also hooked you up with the interview:
It kind seems like a waste of money to me, but I suppose women spend an impressive amount of money on clothes, shoes, makeup, hair, etc., so why not take a little extra TLC on the "va-jay-jay". And hell, if it really gives women the said confidence boost I say, "You go Glen Coco!". Or You Go Girl.

Wishin' that "Rihanna Rain" would let up already!
Unlike Maggie, I completely resent Rihanna to put it bluntly. I'm not trying to start a PURPLEDRANKK feud or anything like that, but I really don't like her to the point where I am willing to publicly disagree with my esteemed colleague Modge.
The reasons for this hatred are as follows:
1. She never looks happy. I understand she's trying to look "hard" as she once titled herself, but to me Rihanna just seems to be a doll forming to any and every position the public wants her too. Like life's not so cruel to you, you don't have to have a straight face all the time. Which by the way is a look that actually works for Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, starlet in her own right, who happened to sport Rihanna's look awhile before Rihanna herself... Coincidence? I think not.
Beckham in 2006.
Rihanna in 2006.
Rihanna in 2007.
So the "Rihanna 'Do" as it is called in barber shops nationwide isn't really Rihanna's at all is it?
2. Her "Rude Boy" video looks like something by M.I.A. Random African prints, bleached waves, and '80's inspired special effects abound. The only difference is Rihanna's version is trashier as she bares midriff and struts around endangered animals. She even steals Jessica Simpson's sexy car - washing move from her "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" video and uses it on a zebra. Please compare to M.I.A.'s "Boyz" video. It's even got the same color scheme.
3. She didn't leave Chris right away. Eventually, of course, she did, claiming that she realized it might affect other women. But she should have thought of that right off the bat, and moreover she should have thought of her own safety right away.
4. She wears Mickey Mouse ears in her "Hard" music video. Cuz we all know nothing says "I'm so hard" like impersonating a Disney character.
5.
6. She wrote a song about cheating on her boyfriend that hinted at wanting sympathy. If you "don't want to be a murderer," break up with him before you sleep with someone else.
7. Another case of her ripping off someone else's music video. The same idea of trying to empower women who have been cheated on and the same sort of setting encompass both Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" and Rihanna's "Take a Bow." Even the lyrics compare:
"Everything you own in a box to the left" and "Grab your clothes and get gone" are just a bit similar. And, of course, Beyonce's hit came first. Surprised? I didn't think so. See for yourself.
8. In the "I'm so hard" piece, she sings,
"Where them girls talkin' trash
Where them girls talkin' trash
Where they at, where they at, where they at
Where them bloggers girls at
Where them bloggers girls at
Where they at, where they at, where they at."
How about all the boys talking trash about you, Rihanna? Or are you just that hot that no boy could possibly say a mean thing about you? Surely Perez has slandered you at least once. Yet it's only the girls who do it who you're going to write a song about. Hi, you're a celebrity. People are going to hate.
I, personally, am proud to be a "blogger girl talkin' trash." I would pick this role any day over a pop star who rips off everyone else's hair, pout, and music videos, while also expecting sympathy from her fans through her lyrics for cheating on a boyfriend and being famous. Sorry, Rihanna, you'll get no sympathy from this girl.

Rihanna, Our Favorite Good Girl Gone Bad
Much like Tase's unexpected obsession with Elvis came my newfound applause for Rihanna. On Saturday night, Rihanna's music video for her latest single "Rude Boy" was playing on the MTV Hits channel. Initially I really had no intentions of watching because really, I'm not one of those people who watch music videos, but I found myself doing a double take. Since when did Rihanna get so badass? Last time I checked she was singing in the rain about an umbrella, and then outta nowhere she's seductively singing, "Come here rude boy, boy, Can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy, Is you big enough?" Jigga what!?
Now I know, I know, I'm sure people probably find this offense,crude, raunchy, etc., but RiRi, I applaud you from breaking away from your former industry-produced, bubble gum pop image. Our favorite Barbadian came to the United States when she was only 16 to start her musical career, signing with Def Jam Recordings. When she first came onto the pop scene, Rihanna was donning long, sun-kissed, wavy locks, wearing tomboy-ish, trendy outfits, and "safe" makeup looks.
In the music video for her first hit single "Pon De Replay" she is the typical breakout female pop artist. The song is about dancing/being in a club (typical), dancing alongside other stomach-baring, attractive men and women. Her makeup is not dramatic, nor are her outfits. She has a bit of a caribbean flair, but is bland enough so that she can still be molded into whatever America wants her to be.
6 years later we know a COMPLETELY different artist. Since then Rihanna has gone through many different "looks", including various different hairstyles, and her music has continued to evolve. It seems that with this latest album, "Rated R", RiRi has gotten tough as hell. Her new style is edgier and totally her own, and she is full of tattoos.
I posted both the "Pon De Replay" video and the "Rude Boy" video so you can see the complete 180 Rihanna has pulled on us.
Funny things to note in the "Rude Boy" video:
-Rihanna grabbing her boob while "dancing" at about 0:24
-Riding on top of the fake lion multiple times (innuendo here people)
-Looking in the guy's pants when singing, "Is you big enough?" at about 1:23
-The zoom in on her chest while wearing that strange black/white bodysuit at 2:57
Also to be noted, in both videos, the men are wearing all white.
Okay, here are the visual sparknotes of this whole thing:
Happy Birthday Justin Bieber!
He's just growing up so fast! Everyone here at purpleDRANKk (me and tase) hope his sweet 16 was the best one yet! Hopefully he will outgrow this awkward peace sign phase...
