I was listening to this and it’s really giving seapunk Azealia. I could totally see her doing something with this beat.
Any other instrumentals you think she would sound good on?
I commented this somewhere else but it’s way easier to share the video this way.
Britney released a DVD of her Chaotic reality tv show and within the bonus section there is a bunch of extra footage. It’s genuinely quite shocking that any of this got approved but especially this! Her label must have watched this and signed off on it too, the person who released Toxic just the year previously. This stuff didn’t air on TV, someone actually made the choice to include it on a DVD months later.
The shocking part for me is how clearly fucked up she is, while talking about the movie “Spun” - that movie is literally about meth and the word Spun is directly tied to meth use. Her jaws locked, she’s confused and babbling. It’s about 5 minutes in but honestly watch the full thing, it’s like a nightmare.
You can absolutely see the untreated addiction and mental health issues from a mile away.
On a lighter note though the EP she released for Chaotic was great imo! She wrote nearly everything and definitely showed… range 😂 it literally goes from pregnancy ballad, to anal sex sauna music, to assuming a fake identity etc it’s a bit of a ride and very true to the real Britney.
I have really fond memories of this collab. As a young Gay I remember being in the airport after Gran Canaria pride.
In the alcohol section of the duty free zone there was a very elaborate MDNA themed vodka stand - it looked amazing! Intricate brightly lit mirrored boxes contained the MDNA x Smirnoff Vodka, I remember all of the reflections of the bottles repeating endlessly and kind of resembling the album art style.
The actual box for the bottles had a similar vibe and were stacked up near a huge promo photo of Madonna. I found a pic on google but I definitely have a photo of the actual display. unfortunately, it will be on a camera SD card at my parents house. 🥲 👴🏻
The Vodka came with an exclusive downloadable EP - which admittedly is… of its time (track list at the bottom). It was super creative at the time though nevertheless and a interesting way to distribute exclusive content to her real target audience: Gays who drink vodka.
Safe to say, i bought the MDNA vodka and played the shit out of that EP. I bought the MDNA album and played that too (with a few tracks removed, sorry Bday Song). I treasured the bottle until it accidentally got thrown out a few years ago. I absolutely love the memory of finding it in the airport almost like a shrine, but also that whole time period. I’m really finding appreciation for niche, potentially somewhat forgotten Madonna stuff like this recently!
I’m not sure how widely available this collab was. I only ever saw it once in that airport. Do you guys have any other niche M stuff like this to share? I’d love to know! I would love to hear from someone who tried the Japanese MDNA skin. 😂

Guardian of the forest body spray is back in some stores. It looked like old stock to me bc it didn’t have the new border design but the staff insisted it was back!
£35 is the new price, scent hasn’t changed. I am a bit skeptical of what the staff said tbh but the sprays were right there in front of my eyes, so let’s hope it’s true across all stores! 💚
I bought the stormy weather gift set, dirty beard oil and a whole bunch of Dirty bath bombs (not pictured)! I also tried Million Dollar & Banoffee Pie body sprays…. and the Vegan Leather beard oil 🥴
Full review from an extremely hairy man below:
Stormy Weather spray 2/5 - I’ll be honest and say this one is not the scent for me. I already knew it wasn’t for me almost a year ago when a sales assistant vigorously sprayed it at me and said “you’re a man, you’ll like this!” - unfortunately this fragrance smells like straight up Lynx Africa and reminds me of the rough school I went to and bus stop fights. If you’re American that’s ‘Axe’ but we have a variant of it named Lynx Africa in the UK and it’s genuinely identical. It’s not something you’d want to smell of past the age of 13 unfortunately.
Stormy Weather SG 3/5 - you’re probably thinking “if you don’t like stormy weather why did you buy it” - well my friend the shower gel is actually quite nice.
This scent actually works a lot better as a shower gel and has a lot more complexity beyond just “Lynx”. Am I in LOVE with it? No, and I wouldn’t repurchase the gift set just for this. But it’s nice enough, works and the name is good. Honestly you could easily replicate this by buying a Lynx Africa SG for £2.
Cost: £28 (total gift price for two items)
Dupe: Lynx Africa body spray and shower gel
Cost: £18
Dupe: accidentally leave toothpaste in your beard. You’ll smell similar 🤷🏻 or just add some dirty body spray to any other beard oil
Cost: £18
Dupe: You really don’t need one imo just avoid at all costs, but I guess if you like that fragrance just add a couple drops of the perfume to any beard oil
Cost: not sure, didn’t buy it
Dupe: Rose Jam and Sleepy body spray layered together
Cost: not sure, didn’t buy
Dupe: go to Poundland, B&M, Home Bargains etc and try those fragrances bc it’s honestly not far off. Anything generic, sweet and artificial with that heavy sticky dates base would be a pretty good dupe
I’ve forgotten all of their names except Dirty. That one smells exactly like the perfume, no notes.
I was a little taken aback by the scent choices of the other bombs - ultra generic cloying gourmand! I honestly do not understand that for Father’s Day. It would’ve been the perfect moment to perhaps make Stormy Weather into a bath bomb or maybe experiment with some non-food scents. The prawn smells like desserts, the music note just smelled sweet and generic.
The new Lemon bubblebar is more like a 24:43 fragrance profile (dark heavy and cloying) rather than a 2025 kitchen box lemon vibe (much lighter and tangy).
Anyway, hope you enjoyed my Ted Talk! Hope it de influenced a few people from purchasing stuff they don’t need. I wish I had video footage of the staff reacting to the Vegan Leather stuff earlier it was hilarious seeing them try to toe the party line while being assaulted by such an awful smell.
New song suddenly spiked up to 8.6 for a day and dropped back down again… what does this mean exactly? Someone listening on repeat for exactly one day?
Would appreciate your insights!
