All Eyes On Rihanna

Queen Of The Festival
Rihanna

While I am not a Rihanna fan I do have to give her credit for always managing to get people's attention. By what she does and doesn't wear. 

Thus my running the image of the costume she wore to the Crop Over Festival in Barbados.

Apparently her posting of it on her Instagram page cause quite a stir on the WWW as her abuser and former boyfriend Chris Brown commented with an eye emoji.

People went crazy commenting all sorts of things telling him to leave Rihanna aloooooone! 

OK, I am not a fan of what Chris Brown did, but I also don't spend time online trolling people.

Keira Knightley Hits Back At Domestic Violence

Keira Knightley

I know this PSA by the lovely and talented Ms. Keira Knightley is not new, it was done around the time Chris Brown beat up Rhianna, but it is powerful and the subject matter bears to be kept in our consciousness.

Ms Knightley had this to say about the PSA against domestic violence when she did it:

"I wanted to take place in this advert for Women's Aid because while domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it," Knightley said. "We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening."

Here are the facts:

• 1 in 4 women has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime
• Nearly 3 out of 4 Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.
• On average, more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country every day.

Here is the PSA. Heads Up, very strong violent content, but very effective.
