After:



:wow:

[Rambis]

1. Too much money,too much fame =

trouble! I am surprised she has lasted this long.

[DS1]

2. K-Fed sperm. It's like fuel-injected Dracula

[Squatch]

5. You sound like you're speaking from experience.

:evilgrin:

(I keed, I keed!!!)

[billyskank]

3. That's totally unfair

The first is a glam pic, with makeup, hairstyling, and god knows how much photoshopping. The second is a candid shot from a night on the town, Britney very much the worse for wear (and how many of us have never had a bit too much?), and a momentary instant frozen in time that makes her look really awful. Photographs are like that. One second later and she might not have looked anywhere near as bad.

[Writer]

4. One picture is posed, airbrushed, with make-up, and the other is not?

:shrug:

[grace0418]

13. And photoshopped like mad. Believe me, I know the guy who used to have to

photoshop her images.

[RedCappedBandit]

6. Are you much better looking?

[underpants]

7. Looks like the whole trailer park ran over her

[RebelOne]

8. What is that remark supposed to mean?

I live in a mobile home park and it seems that people are always demeaning those who live in mobile homes.

[IndianaJones]

9. why do tornados target them then? huh? nt.

[underpants]

11. No offense but what do you think it means?

I didn't want to be rude and just ignore your question.

Look I am sure that there are a lot of great people in really nice trailer parks-in fact there is a really great one near where we stayed at Myrtle beach- but you have to realize that trailer park jokes are cemented into the culture and the choice to live in said trailer park just goes with the territory.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Yeah, same as the 'choice' to live in an urban ghetto (n/t)

[Dangerously Amused]

24. Dude. Chill.

It's okay to hold people up to ridicule based on their housing, because "everybody" knows that "trailer park jokes are cemented into the culture."



:eyes:


:puke:

[smitty]

10. What happened? Could it be alcohol, drugs, self-indulgence,

stupidity, lack of class and the realization that her career is all past tense.

[Burma Jones]

14. Duh, she had kids.........

[Squatch]

15. My wife had a kid 2.5 years ago

and she's hotter now than she was before, and we don't have 1/1000th the money Britney Spears has at her disposal. But, despite being strapped for time and cash, my wife takes care of herself, owns her own very successful design business, and manages to raise our beautiful son.

[Burma Jones]

16. My Wife had three kids and looks better......but she teaches Yoga....

Perhaps Britney wasn't ready to have kids...

[Squatch]

18. It's amazing what taking pride in your appearance can do.

My wife is also a certified personal trainer. I s'pose it's in her genes, though, because her dad owns one of the few (successful) gyms in Wildwood/Cape May.

[kwassa]

17. you must have married Superwoman!

What an achiever!

edited for a special prize, two still photos from Britney's latest video!

[Squatch]

19. Absolutely. The only shitty thing about it is

I don't tell her that nearly enough. :(

[Skittles]

28. so

we need to pity poor Britney because she is not your wife?

[pitohui]

31. women who have kids gain weight

when this guy's wife is finding pix of herself on the internet post child then we can take it seriously

love is blind

as you say, we pity britney because she is not the wife of a man blinded by love, her husband was a user, which is sad

but for the safety of the children, the hormones change, your body puts on weight when you reproduce, and your body is changed forever

lying about it is not necessarily positive, if it sets up unreal expectations

[madrchsod]

20. no handlers

she needed some people around her that had a vested interest to keep her on track. she did`t figure that out and she`s finding out what happens

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Off topic, but I love your sig image.

Audrey Kawasaki is so great.

[madrchsod]

29. just discovered her over at boing boing

ya she`s really good..this is the only pg rated pic i could find that would fit. i thought i`d soften up a bit after my mark ryden pic..

[Hell Hath No Fury]

21. The "After" shot is the REAL...

Britney Spears -- and it always has been. I did make-up for film and video for 20 years and I can assure you the "Before" shot has nothing to do with reality -- it is a complete fiction. As mentioned up thread, make-up, lighting, and retouching are responsible for the creation of a "hot" Britney Spears.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Thank you...

People tend to forget this or not realize it at all. That's why eating disorders run rampant and the cosmetics industry makes out like a bandit.

[mitchum]

22. Blow, booze, and genes

[THUNDER HANDS]

25. I'd imagine she's still hot once she's out of makeup

really hard to compare a glamor shot to a drunken paparrazi shot.

[Skittles]

27. I was thinking the same, Magic Rat

that with makeup, lighting, touch-ups and computerized stuff, she could easily go from 2 to 1

[pitohui]

30. having kids ages you and makes you chubby

not exactly rocket science?

[JVS]

32. kids+ divorce+ booze+ drugs+ rehab+ time= sad panda
