OK, look, I'm not obsessed..I just hate
liars is all. I thought it was funny when Britney insisted she was still a
Virgin, even though she had been living with her boyfriend for a long time.
Or I'd read how she'd respond to accusations that she lip synchs her "Live"
shows by saying she absolutely did not, even though she's been busted a few
times dead to rights, even forgetting the words to her own damn songs while
on stage and being taped singing the wrong ones. It's known fact that some
do this.
But it got to be too much when when the Boob Job "Rumors" got denied, because this smacked of something that really affected people who maybe didn't quite grasp that it had deeper meanings - Britney's main fan base of 12-16 year old girls. And this career move wasn't lost on the public. Many an article and talk show asked the question - why would an influential role model for young girls who was all of 17 herself, be steered to get implants? The rise of anorexia, bulimia and depression in young girls has been linked to the ridiculous nonstop media images of what Desirable Perfect Beauty was supposed to be. The message being seen was - No matter how talented you might be or where it's taken you, you're still not "perfect" unless you have those Playboy Boobs and also are a Whore. To hell with modesty, self respect, self-possession - talent alone just won't be enough to get you noticed by MEN and isn't that what we're all here for, ladies? You're nothing unless you have piles and piles of men men men men men falling and drooling and lusting after you. Wasn't Britney, who had it all, happy with herself? Nah....there's hundreds of salaries to pay, was the bottom line. The Pop Teen Princess Thing doesn't carry over as a career shtick when you hit adulthood. That's what pissed me off. You ever have a kid say, "I'm ugly" and they're not? Or maybe a plain, not raving beauty but perfectly beautiful 13 year old say, "My nose is too big.....my hair is too flat..I'm too fat ....I'm not cute..". They all are perfectly beautiful. But this isn't what you see or hear from their Idols - it's not OK to be pudgy or flat or plain; people don't care if you can sing or draw or have a nice smile or are just nice and make other people feel nice, too. You have to have boobs, you have to be a slut. Sex = being wanted = attention = worth. Excuse me, but fuck that. These are kids here, and did I mention that anorexia and bulimia (and depression) is epidemic among young girls these days? And pretty much only a disease in the US, I might add? "Oh, I can look better if I wear my pants down to my pubic bone and act like a whore" probably isn't where most parents want their child's self image to go. But I bet you remember how you felt, going to school in 5th or 9th grade and being Not One of The Cool Kids and maybe dressing a little bit Not Trendy and all that peer pressure. So don't say it doesn't matter to a kid - it does. I was at a 40 year old male neighbor's
house when Britney was lipsy...I mean singing during the MTV special and doing
her stripper pole-dance "skit". The point of which was obviously
"How Shockingly Sexual I Am! And Don't Forget I'm Only 20!". Neighbor
sat there making comments and HOO BOY would he like to <you know>.
His 19-year old daughter was sitting there and blew up.
"Dad! How'd you like some guy twice my age talking about ME like that? If I dated a guy who was 40? If I dressed like that? You're having sexual thoughts about someone as old as ME!" It got real quiet :) He felt like a pig. He didn't think of it that quite that way. And I haven't found too many people who saw Britney's Pole Dance who remember what song she was supposedly singing. |

May, 1999 -
her publicist defends allegations that Britney had breast implants saying this is a "growth spurt", all this magically appeared courtesy Mother Nature in a mere 4 months. Even her peers decry the sick message behind getting a 17 year old breast implants, and articles are written about how bad this is for young girl's self image . This launches Britney's new career as ........ |
DOWN
July, 1999 ...the hard core, barely-legal Lolita Slut. The hilarious part is they're still trying to pawn her off as the sweet, down to Earth, innocent Virgin |

Oct, 2001- MTV Music Awards
Another growth spurt. The lip synched sex strip show that was supposed to be..that could have been merely a presentation of one of her songs and her actually singing it. Feedback was mostly "Good porn show!" to "Over the top and totally inappropriate and enough already". It was made very sure the mostly naked Britney's sitting there beach balls bazooms were seen. All the pads, and duct tape in the Universe don't create what's below, from what's in the last photo. |
The
Old Tape Em Together Mash The Sides With Your Upper Arms Trick November, 2001 I remember listening to a local humor radio show around Halloween and cracking up as moms were calling in saying they really put their foot down that Halloween when their their 12 year old daughters wanted to be Britney. And how the young ladies they saw at their daughter's schools were emulating this 'dress', being walking kiddie-barely legal porn fantasies and not grasping how Not Good this was in Real Life. But Britney's management company has salaries to pay. And hey! Where'd that boot-like nose from September suddenly go? |
UP
Cover of the Rolling Stone and of course the Girls were all you heard mentioned in the media. And jokes abound about Britney's actual career as a soft porn model, as disguised as a pop singer. It sold a lot of RS mags, which was the point. |

November 2002 Britney and her new nose (did I say that out loud?) Or is that Cortney Love? |
Back
to Odd Pics |
| Which brings up
something else I wondered as I read about her and looked at photos..did she have
a nose job, too?.. As synchronicity would have it, I stumbled on
this site. by a guy who has a Pictorial History of her nose. He's also got an extensive rant site about Britney and the other vapid, plastic Pop Mill $tars these days, the highlight of which I thought were dozens of pics from the PlanetHollywood Britney Look Alike Contest, with comments. |
