Scandalous pop star Rihanna makes her marijuana use no secret, which is likely why she chose a trip to the tony resort town of Aspen for her 26th birthday (Thursday, Feb. 20). Rihanna has long been criticized for her public display of dank indulgence, but largely ignores her haters. Billboard’s dedicated post to “Rihanna’s 10 Most Memorable Weed Moments” is a prime example.
Luckily for fans, she loves Instagramming photos of herself (often with a blunt in hand) just as much as she loves pot itself. @badgalriri is giving us an up-close and personal look into her nonstop party, posting an almost live feed of shots since her arrival earlier this week. Decked out in a bright pink Moncler matching jacket and fur hat with Emilio Pucci Moon Boots, she’s got the Aspen tourist look on lock.
Here are some highlights of Rihanna’s cannabis-infused chronicles (hey, it’s Friday – we know you need a distraction).
Speaking of celebrity tourists in Aspen, there seems to be quite the affinity for impromptu bikini photo shoots in the snow. No, Mariah Carey, we haven’t forgotten your Christmas montage.
Andrew M. Israel of Aspen Spin tells us Rihanna is camped out with family and friends at a sprawling 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate, which is currently on the market for $45 million.
“It’s seriously the biggest daddy house in town. Ski-in, ski-out right on the base of Aspen Mountain, and it’s totally stacked. I mean, there’s a tennis building out back that’s bigger than your house,” he says.
While she has yet to hit the slopes, the crew has lived “#cabinlife” to the fullest with tubing, hot tubbing, basement bowling and drinking games. Dinners are prepared in the commercial-grade kitchen by the Barbadian beauty’s personal chef, Debbie Solomon.
You can also catch Rihanna in true fashionista form as the cover girl of the March issue of Vogue.
