She's been posting teaser images for what feels like forever, but now the finished product is finally here: Feast your eyes on the video for Rihanna's new single, Where Have You Been.

Essentially, what we can gather from this latest offering, is that in her search for this special someone (Where Have They Been?), she goes through multiple personality changes. For instance, there's the sexy water nymph phase, the earthy tribal dancer, the opium den orgy mistress and the sparkling multi-limbed princess.

Then of course there's the topless fly-whipping set-up and the strategically-placed-scales-instead-of-actual-clothing segment...

At one point, fire even comes out of her hands.

We like that for each 'Rihanna' we're treated to in the video, she's got different hair. It's pretty much like art imitating life.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, you probably just want to watch it. Here it is:

(A little side note about the croc prosthetic, Rihanna posted the following on Facebook: "#RihFact: Rihanna's latex prosthetic croc top in the Where Have You Been video took 8 hours to complete by hand. You can see the final look in the opening and closing scenes." Just you know, FYI.)
