After six empty months without Rihanna’s stream of pictorial bedlam, bad gal RiRi has emerged from Instagram hibernation as a warrior turtle. No shell can encase her gladiator spirit. She spent the last half-year readying herself to be in fighting shape. She’s selected her army and her weapons, her weapons being a series of collected Instagram quotes that will be doled out with thoughtful consideration when the appropriate instance beckons them. Rihanna has not spent this sabbatical in vain; she has spent it preparing for victory.
