Britney: the reconstruction effort begins

Still much, much too raw to engage directly with the matter of Britney's VMAs performance - "one of the biggest comebacks of modern times", according to self-styled "World's Greatest Newspaper" the Daily Express - Lost in Showbiz thought there could be no more perfect expression of its anguished thoughts than that offered by Leave Britney Alone Guy, whose impassioned pleas for trainwreck clemency should spark at least two formal interventions.

Lost in Showbiz thought wrong.

Prepare to give in to a new fragrance - a kind of Leave Britney Alone 2.0, which was created by a faux-concerned fan, but would form the next logical step in a Britney perfume line which began with Fantasy, progressed to Curious, and until now remained stalled on the hopelessly poignant In Control.

Splash it all over, glug it all down: how you use She's Human is up to you, but every notional bottle sold sends a powerful message to those refusing to accept that this story arc is far, far from over.
