This is Britney Spears’ television advertisement for her perfume “Curious”. The commercial starts off with Britney Spears walking into a hotel room. She notices an attractive man walking into the room right next to hers and they make eye contact. They are both Caucasian and beautiful. She is dressed in a fashionable, light tank top and jeans and has blonde, curly hair. He is wearing a casual suit. The hotel looks very nice with wooden floors and white walls. Then, Britney sits down on her bed and takes her shoes off, the man sits down on his bed and seems to be thinking. There is a close up of Britney’s eye with a seductive wink. She then gets up from her bed and walks to the wall that is between their rooms. She touches the wall then her pink lips part. Then there are flashing images of lightening, a blue sky, water dripping, purple flowers blooming. Then the man looks up from his bed and an image flashes of Britney biting her bottom lip. The the ad shows two dolls being pushed together in a kiss as Britney and the mysterious man are shown kissing as well. It shows her clawing at the skin on his back and then running back to her room with just a white bed sheet wrapped around her. A quick cartoon image of a girl with hearts around her flashes, then an image of two hands grabbing each other. Then a “Do Not Disturb” sing is hanging off a hotel door handle. A bull at a rodeo is shown then two people rolling around in bed is displayed. Waves crash then Britney is shown laughing. Britney and the man are shown on opposite sides of the wall between their rooms, fully clothed as if nothing ever happened. They both pull away from the wall as Britney whispers “Do you dare?”. Then her product, a blue perfume bottle, is shown on the screen.
