Rihanna Needs WendyB (and Ruby Nips) in Her Life

by

I am so into the Rapunzel-length braid that Rihanna has been wearing lately. She worked the look at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala in New York last week and again in Paris on Sunday.

I also loved her recent Rolling Stone cover.

Sex-ay!

Maybe her red hair is making me think of red gems, because I’m convinced that Rihanna needs my sex-ay, ruby-nippled Mud Flap Jill necklace.

The necklace is named for gorgeous blogger Jill of Stella’s Roar, who special-ordered a pair of “mud flap girl” silver cufflinks for her lucky husband. (I’m always happy to fill special orders. Read this post to understand custom orders and click here to make a request.) What I like about this design is that it’s saucy but subtle because the pendant is so petite.

A while ago, on another website, someone accused me of being anti-feminist for using the mud flap girl image. Humph! Okay, I confess that I would have been scandalized myself back in the day, but, like I’ve said before, I’m not as tightly wound as I used to be. Plus I’ve noticed that the typical purchasers of Mud Flap Jill are exceptionally self-confident, smart and independent wimmin who love to laugh. I’m not worried about oppressing those bad bitches!

Anyway, if Rihanna wore my Mud Flap Jill necklace, I would totally forgive her for stealing my leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana dress last year. Just tell me where to send it, RiRi!

  1. This necklace was meant for Rihanna! She has the sexy, wild, shy, sweet mixture that would really go well with the Mudlfap Jill necklace!

  2. Anyone who would for one flat second would think that you are anti-feminist needs to have one or more of their body parts examined. Good grief. At the least, they need to look in the mirror and think of something funny until they can begin to laugh heartily at their wrong-headed-ness! If they can’t do that, then they need to do what my Anti-spam word is, goaway. I am riled up, WendyB. Riled up.

    RiRi and Mud Flap Jill go together like WendyB and the D&G leopard print dress!

  3. I think someone should direct Rihanna in the right direction she would totally rock that necklace.. I am loving her look right now, much softerxx

  4. That glorious necklace really does look like it was made for Rhianna. I love her red hair, it’s the first time I’ve seen it. xxx

  6. Awww, rubies was my captcha!! There’s a tanning salon near where my boyfriend lives who have the mud flap girl as their logo (outlined in the window) and they also have a special half price offer in the middle of the week which they call ‘Orange Wednesday’ (Brits should get the joke there). Both those things could be massively tacky, and I don’t approve of sunbeds, but there’s something about the way you and they do it which works. Particularly you, of course.

  9. I’m a proud owner of Jill. I wear her with pride! (My antispam is kissme. So cute!)

    She gets more compliments than any other piece of jewelry I wear!

  14. I love that necklace. It’s cheeky and not anti-feminist at all. Guh, get a sense of humor everyone! And how in the world is Rihanna rocking Little Mermaid hair in that braid and TOTALLY PULLING IT OFF?!? Amazing!

  15. I think this necklace is HOT! And Rihanna is downright gorgeous. I was so over her goth-boy haircut and super happy when she went long & red. Babe alert!

  16. I love that red hair on Rihanna, I know not everyone is into it but I think she’s looked amazing lately. I don’t think she needs a mud flap jill though, she needs full size Wendy B ruby nips. You could incorporate into a gold bikini, it would be fabulous!

  18. Rihanna has quite a caboose! It can’t rival Coco’s, though. I’m sure you agree with that.

    Love the idea that R. needs a Mud Flap Jill necklace, it seems perfect for her!

  19. Its funny you should say that people accuse you of being anti feminist cus I get a special kick dancing to Girls and College Girls are Easy by the beastie boys…and also perversely love serving food in heels.

    What is that?

    Maybe strong, powerful women are stronger and more powerful if they dominate the joke?

  22. She would look amazing in it. It would so suit her style (and be a great and well-earned endorsement for your amazing jewellery).

    PS Rihanna may have stole your dress but your consolation dress was amazing and fit you so beautifully. And you can’t go wrong with purple leopard print.

  23. perfect! I love a bit of naughty jewellery.
    I have a ring that is a tiny, VERY anatomically correct naked woman sort of arching her back over my finger. My grandpa found it on the beach and gave it to me when I was about 8 years old. Either he wasn’t wearing his glasses that day, or he just decided to be extra awesome and give a pornographic ring to an 8-year-old. either way, I love when people glance and it and say ‘what’s on your ring?… is that… oh my god!’ ha.

  25. I agree, & loved that Rolling Stone cover as well, the red is a firecracker fierce. Your jewellery is so amazing Wendy! I love that necklace.
