Holi primas, vuelvo a nuestro rinconcito. Pronto se esperan noticias. ¿Os habéis fijado los títulos o textos que Britney publica en Instagram? Parecen del tipo de cosas que podría escribir alguien de 13-14 años si me apuras. Pero, quienes la seguimos desde los inicios, sabemos que Britney ha demostrado escribir y expresarse divinamente en el pasado y a las pruebas nos podemos remitir. Que buenos tiempos cuando compartía esas reflexiones o poemas.

Una de las cartas más explícitas de Britney hablando sobre su equipo, industria y Hollywood en general.
January 3, 2005
Dear Fans,
A new year is starting and I have so many resolutions. If only I could convince myself to stick to them!
My Christmas was wonderful and I had such a great break. I think I should rephrase myself from my previous letters when I was talking about taking a “break”. What I meant was I am taking a break from being told what to do. True Masters say it’s cool when you look at someone and don’t know whether they are at work or play since it’s all the same to them. The things I’ve been doing for work lately have been so much fun, because it’s not like work to me anymore. I’ve been even more “hands on” in my management and the business side of things and I feel more in control than ever.
I just shot a cute video for “Do Something” that I co-directed. After doing about 20 videos, it gets kind of boring playing the same role, so I chose to work with a young, hungry, director Bille Woodruff. He had no ego whatsoever and the whole process was just so much fun. Oh, his dog was just adorable too.
As much fun as I had, I have to say I was a little disappointed that I still had to convince my record label that making this video was the right thing to do at this time. But, in the end, I think everything came out great. We shot the entire video in a record breaking 5 hours. I even came up with all the choreography and styled the entire shoot myself using Juicy Couture clothing.
Co-directing this video was like an experimental project for me. I feel like being behind the camera is sometimes more satisfying than being in front of it. Working on this video was my first taste into behind the scenes work which I am excited about doing more of in the near future. When a woman directs, I think it just alters the entire feel of the movie, production or play in such a positive way. Speaking of, I’ve been working on writing and hopefully eventually directing a musical which makes fun of the whole Hollywood scene, which is appropriately titled “Hollywood”.
On a different note, I have a new dog named Lucky and I just bought her a new dresser for her room. Yes, she has a room, which she shares with Bit Bit. For Christmas, they got a baby chandelier to go in it. It’s the cutest thing in the world!
I have to go now because my other dog, Lacy, has been sick for a little while and I need to go give her medicine.
Happy New Year!
Love,
Brit

Os dejo la parte destacada en negrita traducida por si os puede interesar. Britney estaba más liberada que nunca pero estaba hablando de más, y eso no interesaba.
- "Creo que debería expresar de otro modo lo que he escrito en mis últimas cartas. Cuando hablaba de tomarme un 'descanso', me refería a tomarme un descanso respecto a que me dijeran lo que tengo que hacer."
- "He estado más involucrada en la gestión y en la parte comercial/empresarial y me siento más en control/al mando que nunca."
- "Tengo que decir que me sentí algo decepcionada de tener que convencer una vez más a mi discográfica de que hacer este vídeo era lo correcto en este momento. Pero, al final, creo que todo salió genial."
-"Hablando de eso, he estado trabajando en escribir y espero que llegado el momento, dirigir un musical que se 'burla' o bromea acerca de todo el mundo de Hollywood, el cual apropiadamente se titula 'Hollywood'."
