Meet Ericke Tan, Surprisingly Kitsch’s power blogger from the Philippines… Her style is so wicked, I can’t even contain it. I have only stalked her homepage, but I’m glad I follow now …

So coming back to me… Here’s what I want to talk about today, post excessive Mincing, and Amazon.com track downloading:

RIHANNA’S NEW ALBUM: “Talk That Talk”

Synthesis: Don’t really hate it, but it sounds too much like it was meant to be a Loud Deluxe than a fresh album. Its actually really painful.
Here are the tracks that I like, and have bothered to download;

1. Talk That Talk
   Different, reminds me of the track “Shy Ronnie 2 Ronnie & Clyde” that was on her Loud album… OMG I am sounding like a Stan, but it’s tolerable… Vocally? It’s Rihanna…
2. Cockiness (Love It)
   It’s #50-something on the iTunes Charts, and rauchy as it is… Its not a bad track
3.  We All Want Love
   One sentence: “California King Bed”… Again. It sounds like the Loud Album, and perhaps they should have just let it be that way.
4. Roc Me Out
   Is she trying to say that she is leaving Roc-A-Fella? Just Kidding. The track sounds like Rude Boy, and that annoys me a little, but again, it’s Rihanna.
5. Farewell
   Either I’m tone deaf, or this one sounds like California King Bed too… Déjà vu?

So there… If it’s something you consider purchasing for Christmas, buy the mp3 tracks, it’s cheaper, and you’ll hate yourself less.

As I have already stated to my friends; it’s Rihanna so, whether you hate the album or not, you’ll just have to get used to it, because she has great marketing in her camp.

I found the Stella McCartney-esque pumps at the VS website (don’t ask) for steal. A steal!

I CANT WITH THESE BITCHES!

They’ve had free education, free health, they could study abroad. When they got married they got a certain amount of money. So they were rather the envy of many other citizens of African countries. Now, of course, since NATO’s humanitarian intervention the infrastructure of their country has been bombed back to the Stone Age. They will not have the same quality of life. Women probably will not have the same degree of emancipation under any new transitional government. The national wealth is probably going to be siphoned off by Western corporations. Perhaps the standard of living in Libya might have been slightly higher than it perhaps is now in America and the UK with the recession

I sure do too!
