Thursday, July 21st, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #29 puzzle:
| Week #29 | |
| Category: | Music |
| Difficulty: | Medium |
| Clue: | These young ladies are proof that young ladies can be very successful at . . . well, at entertaining young ladies |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| Brittney and Miley certainly seemed to be moving down parallel paths earlier in life, although Miley appears to have clung to the “straight and narrow” a little more successfully than Brittney. Who knows – I hear Brittney is making a comback of sorts now, producing even more music that I stand absolutely no chance of enjoying (or even, quite possibly, hearing). Let’s hear it for the non-target market crowd! | |
