Before she shot to international infamy with hit singles like “S.O.S.,” “Take A Bow,” and “Umbrella,” fashionista bombshell Rihanna was just Robin Fenty, a carefree teen from the island of Barbados.

Some of you may have seen this footage before, but for those who are seeing it for the first time, remember: “Eye plugs are our friends!”
