oh britney*

According to Wikipedia, “Hit Me Baby One More Time” came out in 1998. That would make this year the 10 year anniversary of Britney Spears’ debut into pop culture. Let’s consider it appropriately celebrated by the release of “Womanizer”.

Confession: I LIKE this song. I do. I tried fighting it. But now I get chills every time I hear it. I just listened to it three times in a row.

Womanizer, womanizer, woman womanizer, womanizer . . .

For those of you who don’t read tabloid headlines while checking out at the grocery store, here’s a summary of Britney highlights of the last ten years:
• Britney releases “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” 10 years later, 70% of population still wondering what this phrase means, 30% know and won’t tell.
• Britney dates and dumps Justin Timberlake. She didn’t like his gorilla pad. Oh wait, I mean brillo pad.
• Britney gets a valuable diamond from the bottom of the ocean.
• Britney gets married in Vegas. Britney gets annulled in Vegas.
• Britney dances with a python.
• Britney kisses Madonna.
• Britney marries K-Fed. Has 2 kids. Does not put them in car seats.
• Britney learns that her head is not very round. Because she shaves it.

So happy anniversary. Here’s to 10 years of making me dance in front of the mirror.
Even if I am slightly ashamed to admit it.

*I REFUSE to make the title of this post a play on words from a britney spears song. But if i were going to do that I would probably use one of these stellar titles:

-email my heart
-soda pop
-not a girl, not yet a woman
-bombastic (10 bucks says she doesn't know what this word means)
or of course...
oops, i did it again
