Fug or Fab: Rihanna

Obviously, Rihanna is young and hip, and blessed to be born with a great figure. These are things we know. They’re undisputable, alongside things like Brett Favre’s badass-osity and Beyonce needing to get off my television set for a while (seriously, how many endorsements is she doing right now? Where does it end? I mean, while it’s running, we might as well run that train straight through Tinactin City and Massengil Avenue).

So I’m somewhat confused as to why this otherwise youthful and fresh-faced hottie would go out in an ensemble that downplays all of those things:

God knows I love an animal print, but not when it turns her into a walking, talking Leopard Sausage. The cut adds weight to her midriff and looks so tight and uncomfortable that, once she finally pours herself OUT of that thing, she’ll be taking nothing but deep breaths for a month. And she can forget about nibbling on the crudité. The whole effect ages her, like she borrowed her clothes from Sharon Stone. Except Rihanna is TWENTY and Sharon is… not. I guess it’s true that youth is often wasted on the young. 

However, if anyone ever decides to make a randy think piece called How Lily Munster Got Her Groove Back, I think we’ve found our leading lady.

Or am I overreacting? Does Rihanna rise above it?
