| Britney going down, down, down..... |
| 2003-06-30 |
| To paraphrase the title of one of her best-selling CDs, oops. . . she did it again. Looks like she's turned from a mega-pop star into a "perennial party goer"...sheesh Britney Spears appears to have ignored pleas from her fans to sack her stylist by stepping out in yet another fashion disaster. She's proof that a gal with a great bod and face can be marketed with enough cash and sell anything, but only for a limited time. Did anyone tell her she couldn't sing? Not even the princess of pop was able to carry off this bizarre combination. It featured a diamante bow-tie necklace and an off-the-shoulder T-shirt carrying the words 'Page SixSixSix' - apparently a sly dig at the Page Six gossip column of the New York Post. Then there were the garish leggings and the short black skirt with the designer's name emblazoned in red across the back. The ensemble was completed by a trilby and black stilettoes. It certainly drew attention - but not perhaps for the reasons Britney intended. The 21- year-old certainly seemed unfazed by the looks her 'white trash' outfit received when she attended a party held by music station MTV in Hollywood. Their words, not mine. One surprised onlooker said: 'The outfit was interesting, to say the least. 'It looked as though she had just pulled lots of different things out of her wardrobe at random. Where is her stylist? Someone really should have a word with her.' 'Someone should tell her that her 15 minutes are over. Soon, she'll be posing for Playboy, and then she'll just be tabloid fodder.' Louisiana-born Britney is fast becoming better known for her bizarre dress sense than for her chart-topping songs. Gone is the schoolgirl image she had at the beginning of her career, replaced by fetish gear and ripped skirts. Chart topping songs that were fueled by the tween market, who didn't care about the quality of her voice. Last year she surprised the crowds at the MTV Awards in New York by wearing a leather bondage-style outfit - complete with unflattering gladiator-type lace-up boots. In January, she went a step further with a transparent lace dress by Dolce and Gabbana. At the premiere of her film Crossroads she adopted a milk maid-style slashed dress and knee-high stiletto boots. Britney may no longer care what Hollywood thinks, however. She is now said to be living full-time in her $3 million New York penthouse and was reported last night to have sold her luxury Los Angeles mansion for some $3,500,000, just two years after buying it. If her outfits were not enough to blow away her good-girl image, Britney dealt it a killer blow last week by admitting she has dabbled in drugs. Justin's favorite time, methinks... 'Let's say that you reach a stage in your life where you are curious,' she said. 'And I was curious at one point. But I'm way too focused to let anything stop me. Was it a mistake? Yes.' It seems, however, that she has yet to admit to her fashion mistakes. Nor to admit that without any real talent, she's finished. However, I can't wait for that Playboy spread! Down, boy.... |
