Not a popular sentiment on Fark but I have great respect for her talent and business sense. The evolution of her music is pretty impressive.

Madge?

You're soaking in it.

nekom: Madge?

aka Madonna

She's had all sorts of plastic surgery and injections and tweeks. That ain't all yoga and Kebalah, people.

Madge?

I don't doubt that but it probably helps that she runs 6 miles a day.

Yeah, I got that much, but I have never in my life heard her referred to as Madge.

Apparently she runs it while in the Sahara Desert. She's starting to look like a dried hunk of beef jerky.

I said this in another Madonna thread, but I think it still fits. Yay for recycling.

Madonna, you've outlived your relevance. And I'm sorry, but you're not sexy anymore. Not even in that older lady, cougar kind of way. You're becoming a combo of the typical withered old Italian lady and a train wreck of plastic surgery. Just take your millions you already have, give your daughter an eyebrow shave, and just live your life in the comfort that your past success with gay men has brought you.

Mean, table for one, Mean.

Good-Bye funny woman.

Wut?? Ohhhh...

I think she's wonderful -- but she needs to get some more body fat going on; it will make her look younger and healthier.

there was a time when i would've torn that ass up.

The words to her music evolved over time in a way that reflects introspection rather than bubble gum pop.

now that she's getting divorced, will she lose her fake British accent?

Shadowknight: nekom: lyndsayj: aka Madonna

Yeah, I got that much, but I have never in my life heard her referred to as Madge.

PeopleThe Sun started calling her that after she moved to England and started using a fake British accent.

FTFY.


The Sun always does it because it's 'hip and cool', hence David Beckham becomes 'Becks', Lewis Hamilton becomes 'Hammy', Frank Lampard becomes 'Lamps', and so tediously on and on.

skribble: there was a time when i would've torn that ass up.

No doubt. She was quite hot once upon a time. Even back in the 90's, when she was doing all that really weird sex stuff, she could be awesomely sexy when she wasn't wearing gold teeth and blood letting fetishists.

But those Italian genes are too damn strong, and nature will take it's course. The fact that diet, exercise, and a healthy dose of plastic surgery was able to stave it off for this long is a feat to be commended. But it's time that she accept that she can no longer wear a skin tight pink leotard and do a bump-and-grind and be considered the same kind of sexy she was when she was in her twenties.

She made a ton of money as a pop singer who never underestimated the masses desire for mindless, dancable music.

Big deal.

And yeah, I've bought a few of her albums/CDs over the years.

My comment still stands.

AmStatic1: now that she's getting divorced, will she lose her fake British accent?

If you've ever spent anytime around other folks with accents you would learn that it's fairly normal to pick up that accent. Just sayin.
I would venture to say she probably decided to capitalize on it.

I stand corrected. I heard other entertainment "news" places using that too, so I just assumed it had to do with her trying to adopt England as her native home.

Slightly adopting it, sure. But never to the extend that she did, especially in the time it took her to do it. She was there two months and sounded like she was auditioning to play Queen Elizabeth.

No doubt, however one can interpret that several ways. Linguistic abilities to adapt to foreign accents can be considered a sign of high intelligence. On the other hand perception is everything. Many people perceive that negatively for whatever reason.

I submit that of course she embellishes to increase that accent and it turns people off. Fair enough. I'm just not that nit picky and harsh of a judge about it.

Meh, to each thine own.

I don't doubt that. Some names get carried into public consciousness, like 'Becks', or 'Moz' for Morrissey when the NME started calling him it, and everyone else starts doing it.

It's kinda funny when other papers do it for the same person but give them different nicknames, like for Michael Schumacher, whom I noticed once was both called 'Schumi' or 'Schuey' by the differing newspapers.

That's true. I don't care for entertainment news most of the time. Celebrity worship doesn't really concern me that much. But something about Madonna just sticks in my craw. I'll give her credit for making her millions upon millions, and pushing American Prude Culture to the brink of insanity, but her general arrogance and demeanor just send twinges of "ARRRHHHGGGG!" up my spine.

Shadowknight: but her general arrogance and demeanor just send twinges of "ARRRHHHGGGG!" up my spine.

LOL fair enough.

The first LP I bought was Madonna's Like a Virgin. I saved up my allowance and my mom took me to Musicland in the mall. I think she thought it was a pro-abstinance message. Now I feel old.

/but still not 50

I think it's the tall poppy syndrome - they always seem to come up with the most childish nicknames possible. Only in England could Sir Paul McCartney become 'Macca.'

You know what I'm talking about, right? Ever see that old lady that hits on younger guys as a joke? It's funny and cute. But then you have those couple older ladies that seem to think they've still got "IT" and think that they can grind dance in a club along with the twenty-something year old groupies.

Yeah, that's Madonna. She never got the memo that varicose veins and papery, tenting skin aren't sexy.

This one got greenlighted because most people have "Madonna" in their Farky filter?

I must admit I've never looked that closely at her and I only listen to her CDs so frankly I can't speak to that as I have no evidence to the contrary.

To your credit, I was at Bone Fish Grill the other night and saw this woman obviously in her late fifties. She was slender but suffering the fate of gravity, inevitable, but not worthy of the little Catholic school uniform outfit she was wearing. I was mortified.
Women can age and take care of themselves and maintain some class in order to be attractive. She failed.

Ok, let me tell ya what "Like a Virgin"'s about.
It's all about this cooze who's a regular fark machine.
I'm talking, morning, day,night, afternoon,
Dick, dick,dick, dick, dick,dick, dick, dick, dick.
Then one day she meets a John Holmes motherfarker, and it's like, whoa baby.
I mean, this cat is like Charles Bronson in "The Great Escape." He's diggin tunnels.
Now she's gettin this serious dick action,
She's feelin something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain
It hurts. It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt.
You know, her pussy should be Bubble-Yum by now.
But when this cat farks her, it hurts. It hurts like it did the first time.
You see the pain is reminding a fark machine what is once like to be a virgin.
Hence, "Like a Virgin."

smeegle: Yeah, that's Madonna. She never got the memo that varicose veins and papery, tenting skin aren't sexy.

Puzzling to me, Smeegs admits she's about to turn fifty herself (November). Please don't mistake this for arrogance but; I don't have varicose veins, sagging papery tenting skin. Manage to run only two miles a day
Must be genetics.

She's on more juice than Barry Bonds.

Whoops, looks like I was talking to myself meant that for Shadowknight. Must be a "sign". LOL.

smeegle:

The words to her music evolved over time in a way that reflects introspection rather than bubble gum pop.

From one of her recent songs:

I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shot
It goes right through my body
And you know
I'm satisfied,
I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied

Yeah, that's some deep shiat right there.

Pop is still pop, even with pretense.

you go girl

Firstly you went and picked out the one you thought was the most bubble gummy to bolster your stance.
Secondly, she's making fun of the Hollywood idiots.
Lastly there are plenty of other songs to listen to that bolster my stance.

Isaac
Ray of Light
etc
For you I recommend , Sorry.

I took that as you were suppose to be replying to me, but I am confused as to why you referenced yourself in your own post. As in, "Puzzling to me, Smeegs admits she's..." so it's a little weird. Like you meant to post on an alt or something.

Regardless, some women age differently than others. Italian women tend to age in a way that makes them look older beyond their years. Some, like Sophia Loren, dodge the bullet. But even Miss Loren had the good sense to not pose in bikinis past her prime, and instead wearing classy dresses that showed off her best physical attributes.

Madonna, as referenced by some pics posted in this thread, has the typical "old lady" skin that looks papery and frail, veins popping out this way and that, and freaking tendons clearly visible from the surface. She should not be trying to do the same things as she did when she came out in the 80's, because it is just embarrassing for everyone.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was describing. The party girl that never grew up, only de-evolved into the leathery, smoke and alcohol damaged specimen you see dancing on stage making eyes at the lead singer of the house band.

Madonna and Gogol Bordello - La Isla Bonita (new window)

Preaching stops at 0:53, Gypsy Rock starts at 0:54.

Madonna actually had a very positive effect on the industry, allowing women to be taken seriously at the business table and not just trotted out as eye candy/ass for the producers.

She also gets lots of slack from me for signing Deftones to her label.

Whether you like her music or not, she will be remembered as an important figure in the entertainment business for a long time to come.

I wouldn't tell her that, because she also looks like she could kick most of our asses.

CarnySaur: I wouldn't tell her that, because she also looks like she could kick most of our asses.

While she is originally from Detroit, she has spent the better part of her life being pampered by paid servants and worshipful gay men. I doubt she has much fight left in her, despite her palates training. Besides, it looks to me that she would bruise like a peach, as most old women do.
