 Another day, another racy Instagram from Rihanna. This morning, the 25-year-old singer and self proclaimed "bad gal" took to social media to show her millions of fans some behind-the-scenes shots from the set of the music video for "Pour It Up," her strip club anthem. In addition to piles of cash on the floor, RiRi also showed off her backside in what appears to be a denim thong. Hours after the photo was posted, though, it was deleted.

Obviously, Rihanna isn't afraid of making provocative fashion statements-in fact, she thanked Prada back in March for sending her custom boots with another thong-baring photograph.

A&F is sorry for cookie-cutter cool kid policies.(Getty Images)A few weeks ago one of the most popular mass market clothing retailers became one of the most hated. 

First there was the scathing report on Abercrombie and Fitch's decision not to make their all-American clothing in larger sizes. Then there was the astonishing excerpt from a 2006 interview with CEO Mike Jeffries which resurfaced, sparking renewed outrage. "We want to market to cool, good-looking people," Jeffries told Salon. “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

Cue backlash, led by 18-year-old powerhouse Benjamin O’Keefe. "Stop telling teens they aren’t beautiful and start making clothes for people of all shapes and sizes," wrote the teenager in a petition posted to Change.org. His message was supported

Beyoncé It's truly hard to ignore Beyoncé's name in the press these days. The 31-year-old singer has been making headlines for her potential pregnancy (her hubby Jay-Z denies it, but many media outlets are still claiming it's true), her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, and of course her lavish vacations. As a known lover of yachts, it's no surprise that the second she had some downtime on her tour, Beyoncé flitted off to the South of France for some fun in the sun onboard a massive yacht with her husband Jay-Z in tow.

Just last week, she cancelled a show in Belgium citing dehydration and exhaustion, but our guess is now that she's living the high life again she's probably feeling a lot better. The power couple were joined by Beyoncé's younger sister Solange and her boyfriend, music video director Alan Ferguson.

This American-made hat earns a very high rating on Amazon, where buyers say they often get compliments on the style. They credit the so-called CoolMax band with keeping moisture at bay and the mesh crown with keeping their heads cool.

After taking a super-giant leap and investing in a pair of leather pants this past winter, the absolute last thing I want to do is stash them away this season. It just makes me too sad to think of them stuffed into the back of my closet, nestled for months between my cumbersome coats and fuzzy sweaters.
