Good god, woman! Pull yourself together!

I know I've been on a tear with the Britney Spears stuff lately, but bear with me. Today I was discussing Mrs. Federline's interest in breaking into film with a colleague. That led to a larger discussion about Brit's career progression, which led me to the Internet. Yes, I wasted a significant amount of time this afternoon reliving the glory days, when Brit was hot and we couldn't get enough of her.

I think we all need to be reminded of how appealing Britney once was. We know she's trashy and we've come to accept it, but when you compare today's trashiness with her former sparkle, it is simply shocking. I had grown numb to the trashiness, but now I'm hit again with the realization of just how far she's fallen. For your review I have assembled a small photo collage to illustrate this point.

Here are some samples of what we've been seeing from Brit in the past few months:

However, let's revisit some key shots from Britney's heyday...







Britney was hot, y'all. I desperately want her to make a comeback.
