If This Is The Latest In Men’s Fashions…
…then I am glad to call myself "unfashionable". I mean, yikes.
Prediction
Britney Spears will become born again, and change to gospel. Her trademark song will be "Amazing Grace" and her newfound Christian audiences will go nuts whenever she sings "I once was lost, but now I’m found". You read it here first.
