Which is why it's so refreshing to see one of the world's most famous pop stars allowing all of their imperfections to be highlighted.
Britney Spears has allowed the pre-airbrushed images from a shoot she took part in for fashion firm Candie's to be used ALONGSIDE the digitally-altered ones, so people can see the difference ....
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'Britney is proud of her body - imperfections and all.'
Of the experience, the singer told press: 'I had so much fun shooting the Candies for Kohl's campaign. My favorite set-up was against the gigantic wall of pink cotton candy.'

Britney Spears Un-Airbrushed
Some unexpected Britney blogging, from the Daily Mail, "Britney Spears bravely agrees to release un-airbrushed images of herself next to the digitally-altered versions":
You and Britney!!
ReplyDeleteI love her!
ReplyDeleteshes ugly inside and out. that is not the ideal lady.
ReplyDeleteAt most she is a Madonna "wannabe" who has neither the talent nor wherewithal to make that happen. I suspect that down deep is a young girl who is still trying to figure out who she is while still being in the public spot light. Not a good place to be and deal with a number of societal, industry and other conflicting signals.
ReplyDeleteGeez people, where's the optimism? Are you guys liberals or leftists? I know plenty of liberals that allow themselves some joy in the female form. Is it you leftists who must dump on everything? I agree with the appreciative Dr. Donald! I like Brittany in spite of her missteps. She is young and trying to figure things out. I would have hated to have my youthful indiscretions in front of the media 24/7/365.
ReplyDeleteThe real un-airbrushed female, in this case, Brittany, is always sexier to me.
