House of Rihanna

Our favorite Caribbean train wreck Rihanna is set to become the executive producer of a Project Runway-like series in Britain focused on finding new fashion talent. With a reputation for wearing little more than a bathing suit and nail polish, Rihanna is considered a major force in celebrity fashion, setting such trends as... Well anyway, she has made the raggamuffin look her own, where she blends in with the local crazies seamlessly.

Her latest contribution to fashion are these low heeled shoes with tape measure winding up her legs. Whether it us custom couture or just an art project of her own devising is unclear. With all fairness, Rihanna has become a victim of label-whoredom, donning these Christian LouBoutin tape measure sandals that are just a fashion disaster of any era. However, this is who Britain is putting their trust in to find a ground breaking designer who will change the face of the fashion industry as we know it... oh, and to bring in cheap Rihanna fan based ratings.

These photos were taken in L.A. where Rihanna recently tattooed her knuckles with the words Thug Life in the same way as Tupac famously did in the '90's. It has not been verified if the tattoo is temporary or not, but if this is how Rihanna is treating her own body, I can only imagine what her music career will look like in 5 years. How she associates herself with thuggin' is beyond me, considering she has been in the music industry since her teens and been sheltered and programmed by her label since then. At the end of the show's season, the winning designer will get to design a stage costume for Rihanna. I am sure all their creative input will be closely considered then edited, then modified, and taken over by Rihanna's own costume designers before the tour actually kicks off.

Definitely permanent

Royal Crackdown!

Princess Beatrice

Why did she have to ruin it for the rest of us?! When  planning a day at the races at the Royal Ascot everything has to be stunning. The entire look from head to toe is planned. You never know who you'll run into down there. 
A symphony of fashion wonderment is conjured in what can only be described as crude self-indulgence. Apart from your diamond studded clutch and jewelry to match, you have to adorn yourself with fabulous headgear. Everybody knows that!

Christian Dior Couture

Fascinators have been like cat nip to these royal-types for the past decade and finally someone has had enough. They're cracking the whip big time for these poor women of questionable taste, who only want to look their best.
The Royal Ascot horse races have forbidden hats less than 10cm at the base and that protrude over 30 cm from the top of the head. Strapless or sheer-strap tops and dresses will be banned without exception, along with compulsory suits and ties for the men.

Dutchess Catherine Middleton

They are not pleased with the slip into decadence over the years and this is their way of rectifying it.
There might also be an underlying agenda here though. It might in fact be the recent increase of race horses keeling over from the accidental inhalation of these accessories that have sent the owners into a tailspin.
Just keep them away from the horses and everyone can have fun. Don't let the reasonable ones suffer with them.
