Reader Feedback on "Britney & Me"
Leif, Thanks for sending your piece. I appreciate your writing style. If only some of my alcohol fueled adventures could have such panache.

dear mr ueland (are you any relation to the amazing writer brenda ueland? its an unusual name.) thank your for your essay about the marriage of britany spears. i liked it because you were able to explain it in light of your own similar experience. i used to live in los angeles and did get to vegas and have a sense of the place as well. i didnt get married there but i have often had to fantasy of doing just that, and with the elvis rabbi, i swear it!! i should say im an divorced woman in my sixties and should know better indeed. but a smile creeps onto my face, after all im only human. thank you for humanizing this public experience, we all need the benefit of the doubt. i think what you did brougnt positive energy to a kind of sad experience. this world needs that, in my opinion. suzy lowinger

Ha, this article was too cool. I have often thought of getting married in Vegas, when I find a man or woman foolish enough to ask me!

Really great article ... sounds like the way a buddy of mine described his vegas wedding to a woman he knew for about 3 hrs prior ... they have been happily married for 15 yrs ... go figure. Tasting your own semen ... I have ...it is only fair to the ladies. You can't ask someone to do something you wouldn't do now could ya? T

The author has a good insight on what Vegas is all about. My stripper girlfriend and me returned to San Diego after a wild four days on the Strip. She likes to hit the best nude or topless clubs and check out the competition--the babes who make the most money are not only very erotic, they also can dance up a storm. Strutting around naked in stilettos knowing that every guy in the place is either hard or semi hard just drives her nuts. Some of the best dancers were amateurs, young honeys encouraged by hubbys and boyfriends to let loose after a few tequila shooters. Marriage? Who wants to get married here, a modern version of Roman partying, where Bacchus, the Roman God of Partying reigns surpreme!

i read that a bellhop walked her down the aisle, not a limo driver. but maybe they were the same person. also, tasting your own semen is not such a stupid idea. girls taste semen all the time, so by saying that it's stupid to taste semen you're kind of demeaning women, just a little bit. btw, i am a girl, so i don't know exactly what it feels like to taste your own, but wouldn't you be just a little but curious? enough to taste it once? but really that's all beside the point. i liked the piece a lot even if i am full of quibbles. so, thanks.

When I read about her 22-hour marriage (perfectly legal!), I couldn't help thinking to myself, thank god we don't let gays and lesbians in long term committed relationships degrade the institution of marriage by being able to wed in the eyes of the law. God Bless America!

it's 4am right now, it's not vegas, it's north carolina, but i feel like i could be wild enough to get married right now....if only the right person would come along and suggest it. all it takes is the possibility to believe and the right combo of alcohol and cocaine. 'nuff said. Here's a toast to getting married in Vegas! May I someday have enough money!

This is cute. But isn't it Roy the one being rehabilitated? Not that Sigfried might not need some help too, but....
