Britney Spears metal tribute Britallica launches UK tour fundraiser for Mind and Samaritans

Britallica, a UK Britney Spears metal tribute act, is launching a mental-health fundraising campaign across its upcoming UK tour.

The campaign is called Stronger Than Yesterday and starts at the band’s Norwich show on 19 September before continuing across the rest of the tour.

At each show, Britallica will be selling £5 Stronger Than Yesterday wristbands.

For every wristband sold:

  • £1 will be donated to Mind via Work for Good
  • £1 will be donated to Samaritans via Work for Good

The idea behind it is to encourage more open conversations around mental health, loneliness, isolation and neurodivergence within the live-music community.

For anyone wondering what Britallica actually is, the band takes Britney Spears songs such as Toxic, Stronger and …Baby One More Time and reworks them as full-on metal songs.

The band explained the thinking behind the campaign:

Thought this was a nice example of a touring band trying to use its audience for something positive, particularly given how much of a community live music can become for people who might otherwise feel isolated.

A Lesbian Guide to attraction for those who are just blooming :)

I keep seeing posts from late bloomers who only recently discovered what real attraction feels like.

Some of you have spent years thinking that if you find a man good-looking, enjoy his company, and recognise that he is nice, then that must be attraction.

I’ve always been a lesbian. I started reading late-bloomer posts because I recently fell in love with someone who is married to a man but is very clearly experiencing something beyond friendship with me.

So I wanted to make a list of what genuine attraction to a woman can actually feel like. Obviously, not everyone experiences attraction in exactly the same way, and you don’t need to relate to every single one of these:

  • Feeling your blood rush through your body when she gets close to you
  • Becoming hyper-aware of how physically close she is to you
  • Always wanting some form of physical contact with her, even something tiny like your knees touching
  • Finding excuses to hug her, sit beside her, brush against her, or be in her space
  • Wanting a hug to last just a few seconds longer than it reasonably needs to
  • Feeling things below your waist activate when she hugs you, touches you, or gets close to you
  • Feeling an almost magnetic pull toward her body
  • Automatically looking at her lips when she talks
  • Having sexual fantasies about her and feeling your whole body react as though the fantasy is actually happening
  • Getting butterflies or feeling your stomach drop when you see her name appear on your phone
  • Reading her texts more than once because they make you feel something
  • Thinking of her first thing in the morning and last thing before you fall asleep
  • Randomly thinking about her throughout the day without deliberately trying to
  • Having a constant urge to have deep conversations with her and understand every part of her
  • Wanting her to know every part of you too
  • Wanting to tell her she is beautiful, special, your person, etc, and feeling like you could never say it enough
  • Admiring very specific things about her: her smile, her jawline, her hands, the way she flips her hair, the sound of her laugh, the way her eyes change when she smiles, Not simply thinking “she is objectively beautiful”
  • Wanting her to find you attractive, not merely wanting her approval
  • Missing her physically when she isn’t around
  • Feeling a strange emptiness when she leaves
  • Feeling warmth or electricity when she holds eye contact with you for slightly too long
  • Having moments where eye contact suddenly feels intensely intimate
  • Wanting to be her protector and the person she knows she can always rely on
  • Feeling emotional tenderness toward her at the same time as physical desire

And maybe the biggest difference: attraction often doesn’t feel like making a logical assessment of someone’s qualities.

You’re not standing there thinking, “He is handsome, kind, successful, and therefore I should want him.”

Your body gets involved.

Your imagination gets involved.

You find yourself wanting closeness that you didn’t have to reason yourself into.

I hope this helps <3

Has anyone ever seen these guys? They are a Female Fronted Nirvana Tribute and an All Female Guns N' Roses Tribute.

Wondering whether I should get tickets for this Sunday. They will play a 90 minute set each, plus they have a support band beforehand, so it will be a nice, long matinee.
