Most musicians know a good thing when they see it. And by "good thing", I mean "way to milk the cow completely bone-dry." Rihanna, riding the massive success of her single "Umbrella," is doing just that by joining forces with Totes to release her own line of -- you guessed it -- umbrellas. The Rihanna umbrellas don't look particularly different from normal umbrellas. There's a pink one with her name plastered on the side and a black one with pink frilly bits that reminds me of some of her outfits, but that's about the extent of their uniqueness. At least the line is not outrageously priced, hovering somewhere in the $18 area.

For originality's sake, I wouldn't mind seeing an umbrella that plays the "Eh eh eh eh" part of Rihanna's song every time it is opened, even though that would probably drive me insane. At least it'd be something new.
