Hard living.

US pop princess Britney Spears is giving her all to help victims of Hurricane Katrina in the US state of Mississippi -- even one of her bra's, the eBay auction site showed.
The 23-year-old former teen queen, famed for her provocative stage outfits, has donated a treasure trove of personal items -- including a two-piece sofa, a bikini and a jewel-encrusted brassiere -- to be auctioned off to help victims.
The "white-stone" undergarment, worn by the singer in one of her music videos, sports "a variety of sizes of round white stones and silver-tone beads in this intricately designed bra," according to online auctioneer eBay.
The sparkling bra, which has already garnered offers of up to 610 dollars in the online auction that began on Saturday and will last a week, however, sports a broken link in the center piece connecting its cups, eBay noted.
A two-piece, six-seat sofa owned by Spears is also on the block, with 560 dollars in bids so far received, while an oversized daybed had notched up a top offer of 390 dollars.
A white two-piece swimsuit once worn by the shapely singer has fetched bids of up to 320 dollars.
Other items include shoes, hats, handbags, a T-shirt, jewellery, a pair of red jeans and a set of bar-stools.
Proceeds from the sale will go to the Mississippi Hurricane Recovery Fund which on Saturday staged a concert in Mississippi to benefit victims of the storm that struck the US Gulf Coast on August 29, leaving more than 1,000 people dead.
Spears last month gave birth to her first baby with husband Kevin Federline.
UNLESS
you live in a coastal/beachy kinda area (think Jimmy Buffet).
Flip flops are fine, in the right setting and for the right reasons.
Otherwise, they look like "I'm too lazy to tie my shoes"
Not according to Merle Haggard!
Ya lost me there. :(
Everybody sing along!
"Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory, down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA."
She looks so old in this photo!
Oklahoma is landlocked silly.
And it's full of cowboys! Of cource they wear leather boots. First hubby was a displaced Oklahoma Cowboy, come to think of it....~~sigh~~
BUT,
Back to flip flops. You see them all over the place here....but we have 2 rivers, gobs of marshes, a couple of islands and a beach. :)
"You see them all over the place here"
Yeah, and in San Fran you'll see a bunch of gays. That's don't make it right!
Life is different here.
No one wears them to work....I'm talkin' about Friday nights at the outdoor Bar & Grill on the marsh......or Saturday lunch after flying kites at the beach.
Shoes define an event better than any other article of clothing. Flip flops are "not working, clearing playing" footwear :)
Thank you mister!
Ha-ha! Old people wear funny clothes. :-P
I have never worn one. I'm not that old!
'scuse me now while I put on my kitten-heeled thongs, satin bunchy capris and a sequined bolero over my tube top...
Hard living.
Sounds like someone got a little impatient...
She sure is attractive (sarcasm)
