You know, the music world just doesn't take enough advantage of potential fashion merchandising. Sure, there have been P Diddy knickers ('cause that's where you want his hands, yeah baby), Brian Wilson coffee mugs (Morning! You've lost your mind! Smile!) and even, if LiS' ketamine-raddled memory serves, Prince sex toys. But in the main, the music industry has just been too coy on this front.
So thank heavens, eleven million years since the single first went to number one in this country, someone has come up with the idea of having Rihanna of Umbrella fame knock out a few... umbrellas. Amazing!
The Rihanna collection, made for that very bling company Totes umbrellas, is a thing of joy, and there's no eh eh about it. According to the Guardian's illustrious fashion desk, the black one with the soi-disant "satin stick" ($25) is the one that will last you longer, but for a more immediate if possibly transient burst of pleasure, LiS recommends the "Rihanna Signature Slender 'brella NEW!" at the bargain knock down price of $14.99. Pink, with Rihanna written on the side. And a pink toggle. A toggle! No clouds in these stones, that's fer damn sure
