It’s the ruching up the front of the dress. Not unlike the ruching up Mary Louise Parker’s dress at the Emmys. Someone wrote to me at the time, said it’s the total Guess by George Marciano look.

Exactly.

Cheap, mall club-wear that proves she’s still fried chicken. Always fried chicken. But fried chicken whose remarkable comeback thumps on.

After getting hands on in the community yesterday at a junior high school, Britney hit the town last night in New York, taking the opportunity to show off her whittled waist. The planned hook-up with Madonna apparently didn’t happen but they are trying to reschedule. Keep you posted.

Other items on the agenda?

Word is Britney’s shooting a Glamour Magazine cover spread this week with Dave LaChapelle with whom she collaborated on several memorable sessions. This time, rumour has it she poses in 6 different outfits from notable periods in her career. The images will also supposedly be used for the release of Circus on her birthday in December.

Needless to say, there’s a lot riding on this album. Looks like the marketing blitz will be balls to the wall.
