Britney Spears kicked off her Circus tour last night, I was informed through her Twitter account. Subsequently, I nabbed some photos of the singer’s multiple costumes and setups.

Really, though, is the world ever going to be ready to pretend this woman didn’t have an extremely public breakdown and air all her shit on CNN? I’m not.

Though, to Britney’ credit, she has found herself a profession where she never has to wear pants while on an elevated platform in front of thousands of people. Which I guess is ballsy in an ironic, she-don’t-have-balls sort of way.
