CelebritiesRe: Did Rihanna Bleach? What Do You Say? by DezVienna(op): 7:08pm On Jul 20, 2010
chiogo:
Maybe she did bleach herself but all these are pictures, she's still behind the cameras so we really don't know how much lighter she has gotten off the camera.
She's been into the rock thing after her debut album - the hair style and all so I suppose they do make her lighter on set to look more White(LOL) grin

But seriously, they all get lighter as they become more and more famous - Beyonce especially. Tyra was def. not this light during the days of Fresh Prince and Higher Learning.
This is true about Tyra.  However, I don't see how Beyoncé got any lighter.  But not everyone gets lighter as they get more famous, but just some who not only wants to appeal to the white crowd, because white skin doesn't always make you appeal to a more broad crowd- if you're good you're good, but this just becomes their personal preference of a new and improved look, so to speak. 
But here's Beyoncé younger and now.

[color=#cc00cc]I'm not trying to change your mind, but you're not making sense here. Why do you think she went to the beach to specifically get darker? She could have gone to the beach to enjoy herself.
Not only that, but that picture is NOT recent, its more than a year old.
so when you say you're sure, you're saying she spent the first two years in the US (first two albums) baking in the sun, and after that in solitary confinement? lol yeah, right. [/color]

CelebritiesRe: Did Rihanna Bleach? What Do You Say? by DezVienna(op): 1:52pm On Jul 20, 2010
You know what, I didn't realize how much they favor each other until I posted the pictures up top.  They are around the same complexion, light colored- I think, green eyes for both, large foreheads and chinky-like eyes.

Anyway, this is both of them at their lightest.

Hell, here's Ashanti and Beyoncé at their lightest.

https://top-10-list.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/irreplacable-beyonce-knowles.jpg

It's just that for them to all be able to look around the same complexion at different times of the year, whether it's due to a tan or makeup, how come the other three never ever look like this when they're at their lightest, or just ever?  Even with their whitest makeup.

I don't know.  There's no beef with Rihanna, but i personally think it's a little more than good skin care (lol).  You don't go from Beyoncé in the summer to Alicia Keys in the winter. It's all in the skin texture more than just the tone.
CelebritiesRe: Did Rihanna Bleach? What Do You Say? by DezVienna(op): 1:41pm On Jul 20, 2010
People are always saying a sun tan or even lightening affects from the camera's. Then why is she the only one to have this white shades whitening affect. beyoncé doesn't have that, Tyra doesn't ever look like that and Tyra is a better example of the complexion Rihanna used to be. Tyra and Rihanna were about the same.
I'll post a picture in natural lighting of the both of them in their early years.

Trey baby! smiley

@Gators, I know, he's nasty!! lol I love almost every song on the album.

@DezVienna, I feel you on that R-Kelly thing, you can definitely hear the R-Kelly in that "Neighbors know my name" song. R-kelly was sexy in his prime, still sexy, I suppose but he's too old now. grin I love that picture of him, used to be my profile pic like years ago. haha
Yeah, I guess he was a little sexier while in his prime, but see. . . I have a thing for older gentlemen. I don't consider him old, either. I think he's all grown up now (smiles), but not old, at least for me, but can see your point.

R. Kelly's like it his early 40's. . . actually 43 to be exact as of January 8th. My husband is 41, and I'm 26. . . so we have two perspectives of old, see? cool

~~Gerri,

I know, since that tape of him sexing young girls, I've looked at him a little differently, too. The only thing is, if you really think about it. . . . . . . he ain't no different from many other men his age. I always see grown a$$ men breaking their necks for young girls. When I was 16yrs old, I had a boyfriend that was 32. . . men are perverts sometimes. It's a fetish for them.

Anyway. . . this is about Trey Songz. Trey Songz will be 26 this coming November. He's a year younger than me.
CelebritiesDid Rihanna Bleach? What Do You Say? by DezVienna(op): 9:53pm On Jul 19, 2010
I've been hearing this lately.  People say her tan went away, but why is her tan removal the only one to be so extreme? I don't know, just saying.

She's about the cmpelxion of most, Ashanti, Beyoncé, Cassie, around Tyra's. . .  pretty much all in the same category somewhere.  But why when their tan goes away, they don't look like this. . . .?

Well sexy doesn't mean perfect; sexy is a personal term for an appeal that turns one on. It doesn't have to turn ytou on, that's why I said. . . . . "To Me".

CelebritiesRe: Star Vs. A Superstar! by DezVienna(op): 9:17pm On Jul 19, 2010
In my opinion, a star is a celebrity that is successful or successfully known. A superstar to me, is a celebrity that is universally known. People that don't even listen to their music or watch their films, or buy their magazines, still know who they are.

Example: [img]http://Superstars:[/img] Marylin Manson, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Erykah Badu, Jay Z, Tupac, LL Cool J, R Kelly, Cher, Dolly Parton.

Stars: Monica, Alicia Keys, Kelly Rowland, Ashanti, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Omarion, Chris Brown, Beyoncé (She's on her way to being a worldwide legendary superstar) Trey Songz, etc,
CelebritiesStar Vs. A Superstar! by DezVienna(op): 9:10pm On Jul 19, 2010
What is the difference from a star and a superstar? Youc an post a star or a superstar (post your differences) or simply explain them.
CelebritiesRe: Trey Songz Dedication by DezVienna(op): 9:09pm On Jul 19, 2010
LOL! I knew someone would say that. There are people with your same perspective in every category of life. It's understandable. Not everyone is going to have the same eye and interest.

I'd say I just like that he is original. He has a close relationship with his mother and has so much respect for women because of that. He isn't trying so hard to attract a false crowd from emulating someone he isn't. He has that swag.

He also has a nice singing voice. I like him more than I like his songs. I hardly even listen to his music, just know who Trey Songz is.

FashionRe: + Skinny, Straight Or Baggy Jeans + ? by DezVienna(f): 6:41pm On Jul 19, 2010
Skinny jeans are for girls, and men simply look gay in them to me. This is only my opinion, not looking to insult anyone. But why are men walking around with jeans as tight as the girls'? Why would you want to show the definition of your legs and bunz? This is a femenine trait.

Woke up to a phone call that you have to come down for questioning regarding the murder of your closest sibling (if no sibling, cousin or friend).

FashionRe: Skin Bleaching by DezVienna(op): 6:13pm On Jul 19, 2010
I agree with the comment up top. If we don't make black beautiful then there is no way anyone else will. We have to respresent ourselves. We can't leave it up to the white people- all they care about is whites or anything close to symbolizing it. You have to look like Rihanna. And what gets to me is that they use those images to symbolize what black beauty is when black beauty doesn't look like that. That looks like black-people emmulating white beauty.
