Britney Spears: Baldness is an Environmentally Responsible Choice
by Kyeann Sayer, Nomad on 02.18.07
Ah, the good old days, when Britney's Zeitgeist-ing life choices centered around affecting a British accent and eco-mom-ing it. In case you're in some sort of subterranean bliss, Britney Spears went all Sinead on us this weekend. I'm choosing not to focus on the media's carnivorous appetite for the pretty women they've helped make "train wrecks" so far this year: pseudo-lesbian Miss Teen USA, Anna Nicole, Lindsey Lohan, Britney. Instead, I'll call Britney's new head a sound eco-choice. It must take far less water to scrub a scalp than to do what most of us do: stand under gallons of running water washing our hair. You go, Britney! More tips on greening your haircare here, here, and here. Learn about dyeing here. ::Defamer

















And we know she shaves elsewhere too, hopefully not using disposable razors (
Ah, yes. Subscribing to Britney's madness -- even tongue in cheek -- is *just* what we need to mainstream environmental responsibility. ;-)
A couple of years ago, she bought a fleet of new school buses for her flooded-out Louisiana parish. How many 25-year olds have done that.
It's important to emphasize the positive, right? And if .05% of the folks who searched for Britney and ended up here switch to a shampoo bar, the tabloid circus will have spread a little eco-goodness. :)

are you kidding? thats ALL i can focus on anymore. i never ever thought i would want to start a shelter for media battered wayward celebrity girls, but now i feel the need to run to LA with copies of "backlash", and knock over any publicist or stylist that stands in my way.
sorry to get a bit off topic, but this has been sort of eating away at my soul lately.
From one bald person to a new bald person - remember to moisturise and use a sunblock - it is your head after all - not a solar panel.
Are those 25 busses managed by Ray Nagin?

I hear you, jessilikewhoa. Would volunteer at your shelter. Have to repress my inner Susan Faludi to make it through most days.
Good advice, Tim. ;)
"Have to repress my inner Susan Faludi to make it through most days."
my inner susan faludi does alright, most the time she has vegetarian dinner parties with my inner al gore and my inner 1970s era gloria steinem. the girls always make al do the dishes and take out the compost and recycle tho. my poor inner al.
you kno, if we got all the celeb girls bicycles, instead of escalades or even iconic priuses, they could totally start eating again.
Judith Butler usually shows up at my imaginary dinner parties and then everyone is just starts performing badly -- sweet relief.
For young sex symbols to become distracted with alternate transport may prove more liberatory than, say, pseudo-revolutionary adulterous preoccupations.
did she donate the hair at least?
I think itchy extensions were part of the impetus for the shearing, so, doubtful.
i had to google judith butler....which makes me feel like a weiner. i like that she dislikes binary gender guidlines, as binary gender guidlines are silly.
so i guess, perhaps, britney spears is not actually having a breakdown, but is challenging traditional concepts of femininity.
"bikes not boob jobs"
can we get non profit status for this?
last question, for now at least, did "pseudo-revolutionary adulterous preoccupations" reference judith butler (as im again, only as familiar with her as a skim through her wikipedia page allows), or britneys rumored extra-marital girl on girl trysts? becos, im pretty sure lesbian experimentation with strippers counts as "pseudo-revolutionary adulterous preoccupations".
go easy on me, i havent attended university.
She needs help. She's crazy

britney once made the comment that she's all for protecting the environment and the earth's resources -- while at the same time thinking it's fine to drive a hummer and in stretch limos.
she is a kid (in addition to being a mother of 2), but at some point you'd hope she'd grow up.
hard to fathom the constant media interest of her and her relatively talentless celeb contemporaries. but, unlike some of them, she occasionally says the environmentally right thing. would be nice if she occasinally actually acted on it.
britney also mentioned wanting to buy a prius. when told it was smaller than a toyota camry she apparently changed her mind. instead she bought the largest sized lexus SUV.
again, heart sort of maybe somehow in right place. actions another story.
hey, i thought we were against incandescent light bulbs.
just kidding. good move, brings attention to the environment. let's see some substantive eco-action from her.
I still dont get what the hell she is trying to do i feel sorry for her parents i mean oh my god i would hate to have a kid like that i use to like her but not nemore if i ever have kids i will never let them listen to her music or let them talk about her in the house i think she is REALLY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I came to this site and it was because of a search for Brittney through Google. I am bothered that those who wish to save nature are so violent against their own brothers and sisters. What's the use in saving a tree when you will insult, beat up, or violate a human beings. Love looks beyond faults but it looks like one cause vs. another.
