Postcards from the Life of a Pop Princess (4)

Hi there.

We’ve been inundated with reader’s letters this week, so we thought it might be nice to take a look at a few.

Lucy, 19, from Stoke writes,

“This Britney stuff is fab!

luv
Lucy!”

And, Amanda from Redbridge tells us (via text),

“Haha. Luv da Britnay stories

Mandy”

While Des from Sussex writes

“My wife and I also love Britney. We are her biggest fans. I was wondering, village idiot, which is your favourite Britney song? We like Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Des”

All of which makes the following letter, from Gunther in Belfast look a little silly.

“Dear Imaginary Scenes,

I am very disappointed with your site. I used to read it all the time, but it’s starting to really depress me. What is your editorial policy? The stock markets are in turmoil, guns are rife on our streets, the NHS and the prison services are a bloody mess, Iran are pressing ahead with their nuclear program and would you believe it, Bush and his gang appear to be considering a military strike against them! And what about Iraq and Afghanistan?

Given all of these grave issues, how can you justify publishing four days worth of stories about a pop star? And nothing else?

I thought Imaginary Scenes was supposed to tell me something about the real world! For your information, I am cancelling my RSS feed, getting rid of my internet connection and sticking to the print media and television for my news and views. I’m quite sure those people won’t be wasting my time with flimsy nonsense, unlike you! There are more important things in life!

Goodbye.

Gunther Micklewhite.”

Anyway, keep sending them in!

If you’re playing catch up…

Part one of Britney is here!
Part two is here!
Part three is here!

And now for part four!

Postcards from the Life of a Pop Princess (3) - With a Vengeance

Welcome back again.

Good to see you’ve got time to waste. We’re still telling the Britney Spears story. Not only that, but we’re making serious progress with this crap. We’re onto 1994 now.

(If you missed the first part of the story, it’s here!The second part is here!)

Postcards from the Life of a Pop Princess (2)

Welcome back.

In case you didn’t know, Imaginary Scenes has jumped on Britney Spears’ band’s wagon.

We are currently probing the stunning theory that Britney might not actually be Britney.

(If you missed the first part, you might want to get yourself up to speed here…)

Postcards from the Life of a Pop Princess (1)

I’ve been a bit saddened this week by the stories about Britney. It’s not very nice to see someone going off the rails in public, especially when the press are obsessively hounding her every step. And, given that things appear to have gotten out of control, it’s easy to sympathise with the troubled starlet.

It seems a stretch though, this bizarre, desperate behaviour. Especially from such a sweet young lady. So, what if this person in the news isn’t actually Britney? What if it’s just someone who looks like Britney?

It’s possible, and Imaginary Scenes has a blinding new theory. To get to the root of all this, we need to go back, way back, to the early eighties and to the laboratories of JaNeTix.

Here’s the first part. Come back tomorrow if you want some more.
