#OMFG #HIAM

After weeks of antici-pation (Rocky Horror Reference), the reigning and self-proclaimed "Queen of Pop" Ms. Britney Spears has finally released her latest video for the dance odyssey HOLD IT AGAINST ME.




In a new pop universe, where nothing is EVER new-- rather a reference of something else, which was probably a reference of something originally inspired by Warhol anyway... bleh. Anyway.....

The piece recalls many reoccurring themes and motifs from the heritage of Brit's long and illustrious career:

1. OUTER-SPACE: Our girl has been 'obsassed' with rocket-ships and alien planets since the days of OOPS... so it's no surprise to see the video open with shots of a firey asteroid of, errr... sheer talent (?) plummeting toward planet Earth.

2. SURVEILLANCE: The whole thing has a behind-the-scenes, photoshoot-of-a-photoshoot, paparazzi sort of feel that, as I've mentioned before, reminds me of Fischerspooner's original EMERGE video. We've seen it before in such classics as SLAVE4U, EVERYTIME,

3. HOT BOYS. I mean just take a look at these screen-grabs:


BUT MY FAVORITE PART OF ALL--
