I've always been a fan of Rihanna. So I was really excited to hear that she was going to be on the cover of the 2012 August edition of Harper's Bazaar. I'm always equating her to Madonna, because you never know what you're going to get next when it comes to both of them. HaHaHa One minute, Rihanna is doing an S&M themed video and coloring her hair red. Then she appears almost angelic in this Harper's Bazaar photo shoot with a smidgen of fierceness and defiance thrown in the mix. I've had moments where I've questioned some of the things and decisions Rihanna has made. But hell, I've questioned some of the decisions I've made in the past! HaHaHa If I could step back in time, I would change some of those things. I think many of us would. So who's to judge! It's a part of growing up, learning and evolving. As women, I think we all have "different sides" to us. We have an angelic side, devilish side, sexy side, sweet side, dark side, light side...I could go on, but you get the point. Rihanna, gives Harper's Bazaar a glimpse into her love life, music and style with an enlightening interview. I think you will be surprised regarding her thoughts about LOVE and DATING. As fans (of any star or regular person), I think we're too quick to pass judgement on people (tattoos, bright colored hair, unique clothing styles, piercings). Sometimes what's on the outside is not a true reflection of the inner qualities of a person. I've seen preppy peeps that were crazyyy and people that had a gazillion tattoos that were brilliant! Give everyone a chance! That's always my message!
