I never liked her music, so she should do what I do like; expose her nubile flesh. Never gave her a moment’s though till she went skanky. Now I’ll leaf through a men’s mag if they have a new set of her fleshy pics.

I don’t have anything to add, but “ditto.”

Great OP, **Revtim**.

I don’t find particularily attractive, nor do I like her music, so I just avoid her.

Hey, she doesn’t rag on me to wear pants, so I extend her the same courtesy.

“I want people to stop thinking of me as a music business whore and start thinking of me as a real, skanky whore.”

Thank you, SNL. I really have no opinion about her…

I think she’s trying to duplicate Madonna’s arc. Remember how Madonna had pre-slut, slut, and post-slut periods? Christina is entering her slut period. I expect I’ll continue to ignore her as I always have.

Frankly, I think more singers should “go sexy.” If you don’t lkike sexhy, that’s your problems, AFAIC. I like it. You can always watch and listen to opera singers, they wear lots of clothes and sing real pretty.

The one thing I don’t like about her new ‘slut’ image is that she looks so “oily”. Her hair looks greasy, she looks greasy, and she looks like she stinks.

Of course, to address the OP, I don’t care if she walks around naked. But I hope whatever orange-glo skin oil she’s rubbing on herself doesn’t cause skin cancer.

I think we need a new teen pop-diva. I can’t stand the Britney/Christina era. It’s time for a new 15 year old to dress like a school girl, do the bump and grind with 25 year olds in her videos, and have her tits grow from an A cup to a D in 6 weeks (They’re not fake! Honest!) I’m tired of these two ex-mouseketeers.

Pants, no. But a gag might be a nice.

Well, she did wear _chaps_ in that one recent video… with only undies on underneath, I may venture to add. Classy.

Her look reminds me of that of the MTV videos of the early 1980s. She has that cheesy post-apocolyptic trendy-punk look.

Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing some more post-apocolyptic videos on MTV, if MTV still played videos. We need more Pat Benatar dance-offs and pseudo-punk chicks in cages.

Forget “serious” videos… give me some quality cheese!!!

I much prefer her Pre-Slut look to her Slut look. Max said earlier that she looked greasy and while I agree, the term I’d use is “Trailer Park Trash in severe need of a bath”.

I have no problem with the showing of skin and relative lack of talent, hell… I like Britney, just… y’know… **bathe** every once in a while or something. If once a day is too much, try every other day or something.

I never liked women that just smells like soap anyway. 😉

(Sidenote: I guess I’m slowly getting indoctrinated by the over-PC world, since I sometimes feel a twang of guilt for being attracted to a woman who would not be described as “voluptuous”. )

Yessa, signor, it-a most-a certainly would be-a!

I have no problem with sexy either, or even half-naked for that matter. I just don’t find her attractive. There’s something odd about the shape of her abdomen. Like she’s about to start layin’ eggs or something. Yeesh.

She looks like Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, or Hedwig–I can’t decide. Either way, it ain’t pretty.
