I think they're reading too much into it. During an era when Lady Gaga can wear dirt and ride around on a giant mechanical horse, what is the true significance of Rih wearing a doobie? All kinds of weird things happen on red carpets in regards to fashion, and this is no different. It doesn't seem like a statement, but more, "I think this looks good and fits the style I want so I'm going to wear it."
Rihanna just didn't care. She seems like she has been over this era for a while, and so I wasn't surprised that she turned up to another award show looking both casual and beautiful. It did give me a flashback to these three girls in my high school that would always get doobies together, and one would have white pins, while the others just had the regular black ones.

I think it's more likely she was trying to be "edgy" by showing how little fucks she has to give than challenge the standards of beauty for black women. Eh, two birds one stone.

It's a hot mess and the Fashion! of BJ.
I'd like it more if the production and melodies flowed better.

I wouldn't put it past Rihanna to go with a doobie "look" as some kind of fashion statement. She seems to have been positioning herself as a kind of "ratchet queen" variant in the pop scene and especially this era she's made strides away from clean-cut fashionista and more toward this kind of sultry girl from the block with a lazy swagger. It works for her.
Also her performance style is so slow-motion that she always looks like she just rolled out of bed, so the doobie works in that context.

You pick THAT as your Fashion and not It Should Be Easy? >_>
I think it was probably much more of a fashion statement than a political one.

It Should Be Easy still sucks but at least it has some semblance of rhythm and flow
I just find Passenger to be really weak >_>

Man, do ya'll think that the pop girls in general now can't move albums? If even Gaga can't muster 300K.. I feel like she was the resident album seller outside of Taylor Swift (though the latter is a special case since she holds capital in a genre that actually sells albums) but I have a feeling the public is only using these pop girls for singles now.
Let's wait for Beyonce and see what happens. lol

Hmm...I think Gaga was a special case. I feel as though people are getting sick and tired of her and her antics and stuff like that, so they're more drawn towards more traditional artists like Taylor. It's unfortunate, ARTPOP is amazing.
Plus I don't think the whole issue with picking a single helped Gaga at ALL. I imagine this sales dip will be for ARTPOP only. She'll make her comeback.

I sort of like it, ugh.

This is what I meant when I said I don't think she's that sort of girl; I mean the sort of girl who tries to make subtle political commentary through her hair or sartorial choices that could be read by black audiences and would fly past the radar of white audiences.

And then there was that time I had forgotten I'd entered the presale lottery on LittleMonsters.com because, really, who uses that website...but then randomly just got an email with a presale code for the latest Gaga concert at Roseland Ballroom.
2 tickets are mine.
I don't even have anyone to go with me. I might just sell that second ticket for way more than the $50 I paid for it.

The ONE song that could give All Too Godly a run for its money is Sad Beautiful Tragic
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, and get you alone!
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know!
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would
Follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...
And I will get you, and get you alone!

You're joking, right? That's pretty much the one song I rarely listen to on the entire CD. That and I also tend to skip Begin Again.

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless
I've been listening to this on repeat all day
