I voted "other"
Britney has always been a sexy little girl trying to look like the sexy ladies. Now that she's 21, she's still trying to do that, not realizing that sexy is an attitude, not just a look. Until she discovers this, she'll always just be a young girl trying to approximate the look of a sexy woman with attitude. Sure, she's pretty easy on the eyes, but without substance behind that, I wouldn't give her a second look.
So, maybe she is still actually a virgin. Or, at least, hasn't gotten the hang of really enjoying it. Sexy is as sexy does. Hormones and a real commitment to damn well enjoying it are Key there. I think it helps to be a hedonist.
I have spouted off to a few friends that I think the real reason Madonna gets called a 'bad' woman by a lot of folks and really stirs up controversy is because she is sexy for her own pleasure and clearly insists on 'getting hers'. If she were merely sexy in that 'boy toy' fashion, she would hardly raise an eyebrow. But saying "I do it to please ME, not simply to cater to some man's fantasies'", gee, that threatens the whole status quo.
Britney's new look: desperately trying to be interesting when she is boring inside. A stage. I think everyone goes through something similar in the process of exploring their sexual identity. It seems so outrageous -- until you discover its been done a million times before and is only new to little ole innocent you. Then it starts to feel a little silly. When you cannot do it with a straight face anymore, it gets hard to pull of The Look.
She just has the misfortune of having to go through this publicly, where a bunch of opinionated strangers (like us) can talk about her.

You guys missed my leather skirt and garter belt stage. Of course, people who are not 'stars' cannot walk the street looking like the pics of Britney -- without either being arrested for street walking or assaulted. So, naturally, 'normal' women never dress quite like that in public. Nor do the stars, actually. They only dress that way for photo shoots and publicity stunts. I am sure she doesn't hang out watching TV like that.
