Sapphic Stage Stunts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Rihanna Gives Female Fan a Lap Dance at Baltimore Show

— June 5, 2011 — Naughty
Rihanna kicked off her Loud tour with a bang yesterday, giving a female fan a lap dance while she performed "Skin." In the video above, Rihanna's dancers pull a female fan onto a round rotating platform, where Rihanna gyrates atop the fan before the platform descended out of view.

Cee-Lo Green and J. Cole were also on hand at the Rihanna concert. The performer sang all of her major hits, from "Shut Up and Drive" to "Man Down." During one set, she even played the drums.

It's Rihanna's lap dance, however, that's making waves today. Female performers are continually looking to push boundaries when it comes to expressing their sexuality. Sapphic acts have become a major aspect of these stunts in recent years; the three-way kiss between Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards is just one forever-remembered example.
Trend Themes
1. Pushing Sexual Boundaries - The trend of female performers pushing boundaries with sapphic acts provides disruptive innovation opportunities for creating provocative and boundary-pushing stage performances.
2. Exploring Alternative Sexualities - The trend of sapphic acts becoming a major aspect of stage stunts opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for exploring and representing alternative sexualities in mainstream entertainment.
3. Controversial Performance Moments - The trend of provocative onstage acts, such as Rihanna's lap dance, highlights disruptive innovation opportunities for creating controversial and buzz-worthy performance moments.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry has the opportunity to innovate by integrating sapphic acts and pushing boundaries with provocative stage performances.
2. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by creating designs and styles that break traditional gender norms and incorporate sapphic aesthetics.
3. Event Planning - Event planning professionals can offer disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating sapphic acts and performances to create unique and boundary-pushing event experiences.
