Who is dressing these teeny boppers nowadays? I was watching the CA diary or whatever on Mtv and the clothes she was wearing were so ugly that it was blowing my mind. What is with these chicks wearing rhinestone covered police/taxi driver hats sidways on their heads? I saw Britney wearing one of these things at the Mtv awards or somewhere and she looked awful! I think that CA is probably very pretty but she dresses like she fell out of an early 80’s porno flick! She wears these skank-fits around her family at home as well. If my little girl came walking in the house dressed like that I would lock her in her room till she put on some sweats or something.

Why does she dress like that?
She wants attention.

Nobody’s gonna buy her records based on how well she sings.

Because she’s a graduate of Velvet Jones University?

Stop assuming that she is dressing for you, you sexist pig dog! She is a proud, confident woman of the new millennium. She dresses for herself and if “ho’ with cheese” is her chosen fashion statement who are you to judge Mr. Odorhand!

You can be a proud confident woman not wearing those clothes as well, you know women have a brain!

**Stinkpalm** ,
Christina, aka Ho/Skank Queen/ Empress Slut is hardly a teeny bopper as she recently turned 21.
She apparently thinks that dressing like a Ho makes her insanely attractive to millions of guys.
Sadly, she’s probably right.
I, however, am not one of them, nor will I ever be.

WSLer-Why is she not a teeny bopper? I thought that term was used for the audience, and not preformer.

Because sex sells?
I was actually thinking about her today, and Britney Spears as well… Christina Aguilara (as I’ve seen her anyway, in a handful of videos here and there) isn’t even sexy, the way she looks. She looks low-class. Well, that sounds so rude of me, but that’s what I think when I see her. She is pretty, and thin, and blonde, but it’s all wasted.
And Britney, well, I realized today that many of her songs refer to how the world supposedly thinks of her as an innocent little girl and how she isn’t that innocent… Obviously no one does think of her as a child…even was she was. It’s as if she’s specifically trying to play on a lolita thing. It’s tacky and creepy. It’s really creepy, actually. I think they market her that way on purpose and that’s gross.

“I don’t like pretty.” [Linky.](http://www.rollingstone.com/features/coverstory/featuregen.asp?pid=1276)
Apparently this is how our buddy Christina _really is_. Or at least that’s her spin. Has nothing to do with making her attractive, apparently.

Because she is being _manufactured_. She is a work in progress. When the marketing people decide what you want she will evolve into another mutation. And when she can no longer fit the bill, someone will take her place.

I have a friend whose girlfriend used to be Britney’s stylist. Just thought I’d share. I agree with **plain jane**.

Didn’t they have the same discussions about Madonna back in the 80s?

You can call her a slut or a ho all you want, the fact is that she does look great to your average 16 year old, and the fact is that this sells records. In 5 years, you’ll hear from her no more, and she’ll be living la vida loca on some Caribean island, whilst you guys can whine and bitch about the next 18 year old slutty looking pop star. Yup, **gex gex** , some things never change.
Personally, while I don’t like her music one bit, I do think her voice is pretty good, and hey, she’s got a great body, and it’s hers to use as she sees fit. More power to her.

She looks great to _me_, and I’m twice the age of the target market. This identifies me as a sad lech, I know, but I don’t mind the slutty look. I think it’s great.
