OOPS! She Did It Again

Boston sports fans are known as a particular breed of loyal followers, not afraid to jump into the fray and get dirty if it means defending our city's honor--which often happens during games at TD Banknorth Garden. Last night at the Garden, however, it was a different breed and a different fray altogether: it was a circus. For real. And the ringer master was none other than Miss American Dream herself, the fabulously controversial Britney Spears.

I was 15 when Britney graced her first Rolling Stone cover, and my atrocious adolescent boyfriend was definitely more interested in the face on that cover than my own. So I hated her a little bit (duh, what teenage girl didn't?) but not nearly as much as I coveted her very being. After all, she is all that is fabulous. Fast forward to ten years later: boyfriend kicked to the curb and replaced with amazing husband, and Britney still has it. Call her Miss Bad Media Karma if you want to, but oops!--she did it again.

So, yes, that was me rocking out with bff (still the same--what's 10 years anyway?) and fellow blogstar, India, at the Garden last night. What can we say--we're slaves to all that is Britney. Our homage to the pop princess? Braving verbal abuse from the anti-establishment printer at the Garment District custom tee-shirt counter to spell out our adoration in black on hot pink. I mean, concert tees are so last generation; in the here and now, we eat organic and locally grown produce AND make our own shirts.

Of course, our flair for graphic design did not go unnoticed. While dressing our salted pretzel with mustard, fellow concert-goers were abuzz by our blaze of hot pink. According to one, our tee-shirts were "the best." Obvi! Nothing less for Brit.

Psst: Follow our lead and design your own tee at the Garment District: 200 Broadway in Cambridge, near in Kendall Square. Visit http://www.garmentdistrict.com/ for the deets.
