I’m sort of confused right now. Over lunch I read this Post article on Britney Spears last television appearance. It seems that Robin Givhan doesn’t understand the whole deal on dear Mrs. K-Fed.
Givhan was disappointed in the way Britney dressed for her sit down session with Matt Lauer. And with Britney overall as a person. The best I can tell Robin hasn’t been paying attention all these years to who Britney really is. No, Robin Givhan it would seem bought the publicity machine’s image of Britney hook, line, and sinker. In fact she bought so deep into the pile of shit that she thought that Britney was as sophisticated as Reese Witherspoon. Wrong. Reese exudes class, Britney sings about needing to be sexed up again and again.
Ms. Givhan didn’t realize that all of the handlers were covering up the one true Britney Spears. What Matt Lauer got was the real deal. Spears really is plain old country white trash with more money that is good for her to have. That’s all.
Some of Givhan’s comments:
Pregnancy cleavage can be a beautiful development, but serving up one’s bosom like melons at a picnic is aggressively self-indulgent, enormously distracting. . .
A young woman was weeping. She was being pulled down by the pop culture undertow. She was begging for mercy. All the while, the gum continued to smack and crackle in her mouth. Her tears were dislodging her false eyelashes.
. . . on national television chomping open-mouthed like a shill for Bubblicious.
The clothes — a miniskirt and sheer babydoll top — looked like something that a teenager might wear. They had the effect of making Spears look unsophisticated — like a stereotypical hick — and wretchedly vulnerable.
Hell, that’s the way she was raised. She’s right when she talks about growing up country. And that side of her is finally starting to show. It’s pretty incredible that it stayed hidden for as long as it did.
The way she’s dressing now is not that different than the way she dressed before, and that’s normal for white trash. A husband that’s good for nothing, again normal for white trash country girls. Too much make up and thinking the world understands you; normal and typical for a country bumpkin that’s moved to the big city.
Don’t be disappointed in what you are seeing now Ms. Givhan. Try to understand that this has been there all along, your were just too dazzled by the stage lights to see it. Blame that on yourself, not a country girl whose just trying to have a family.
I’m no fan, and in fact have have always figured Britney for a ‘ho. It looks like both of us were wrong. She’s just knocked up country trash, acting like knocked up country trash acts.
