Rihanna's butt doesn't decrease in value just because it's covered in sand!

Sure, the beach has a few things going for it: the ocean views, the tanning potential, and the opportunity to sip tropical drinks with paper umbrellas in them. But going to the beach is not without its issues: the face-burning, the skin-wrinkling potential, and, as you can see in the above photo of Rihanna's sandy booty, the dreaded sand-butt! (You know, when you take a swim in the ocean and sand subsequently sticks to EVERYTHING, including your butt?) OK, fine, maybe we occasionally get the urge to lie down and make a sand angel, but unless you want your booty to look like the rhinestone lover's, you might consider towel drying first!

Along with the photo of her sandy booty, the "Pour It Up" singer captioned, "My beach is betta!!!" You know what? Normally going to the beach makes me feel like I'm sitting in my own personal oven hell, but if I knew the "Best Female Video" VMA award nominee would be around to show off her assets, then mayyyybe you could convince me to go. Maybe. I'd also be persuaded if I knew Ri was gonna wear her GRILL! And then maybe Sisqó could come around to do cartwheels on the beach and sing about "dumps like a truck, truck, truck" and "thighs like what, what, what." (Hey, it's just an idea.)
