Britney Spears was snapped out and about in SoCal last night wearing a short black bobbed wig which looks eerily similar to the, now infamous, pink wig that she wore almost daily last year. You may recall that Britney‘s “pink wig phase” was the time when her life was spiraling out of control — she began wearing the wig after she shaved off all of her hair in February of 2007. I understand that this particular wig, tho, may be featured in the new music video for her new single Womanizer so we may have no cause for concern but … something about the wig still bothers me very much:

Now, I have to trust that things are still stable in Britney Spears‘s world and that this new wig thing is nothing really to worry about … but the mere sight of it does remind me of those dangerously crazy times when Britney was basically a walking time bomb. Pink wigged Britney seemed like an alter ego that I hoped we’d never see again … this Black wigged Britney is just a reminder of that “other person”. Again, I’m sure there is no cause for concern … she actually looks very cool in this wig (and it really looks like a quality hair piece, not just some effed up thing she found at a costume shop). If, in fact, this is the look for her new Womanizer music video than I’m cool with that. I just hope this isn’t the beginning of a new persona or anything like that … I like Britney Spears just the way she is.
