I had a rough day so I threw on whatever was at hand\/on the floor. When I got to the venue, I was disappointed that I hadn&#8217;t come up with a <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/what-wendy-wore-going-gaga-from-the-heat\/\" target=\"_blank\">concert costume<\/a>, or at least a pink or blue wig. Neon wigs were the hawt look. I also felt weird that I didn&#8217;t have a small child in tow. Those were practically mandatory! I&#8217;ve never before seen such a young crowd at a concert, though admittedly, I never went to see Britney Spears during her heyday. That&#8217;s something I regret. After I got over my surprise\/amusement, I realized Katy is probably a better influence on the younger set than Britney was.
