Madonna shoots for Dolce and Gabbana in Harlem. In concept the shoot could have been quite cheeky. It could have had a classy edge but instead you get the above picture-Madonna squeezed, pinched and stuffed her into a dress 2 sizes too small which is quite the feat given her skeletal figure. Looking more crazy mum vs. sexy, empowered older woman, the entire thing feels like an overproduced parody of Desperate Housewives - Cougar edition.
Looking at the creative trajectory of Madonna as of late, you have to wonder, whatever happened to aging gracefully? At a certain point, shouldn't you just embrace your age and go with that vs. always trying to relive the glory days of your 20's? Exhibit 2: this music video with Pharrell where Madonna looks uncomfortably like a mom - albeit a very hot mom - at the disco. Also, call me racist, but a white blond woman should never be uttering the words "Get Stupid."
The saddest part is that Madonna might just have been able to pull off the whole youth pastiche if she wasn't just so serious about it. There's no sly wink, no insider grin, it doesn't even look like she's genuinely having fun. In the photos and the videos you can tell, she's trying so hard and as uncomfortable as it makes me to see a grown woman acting like a 20 year old, it mostly juts makes me feel sad. I mean, what's the point in growing older if all you have to look forward to is pretending you're someone you're not?
At her age, fitting into this tight black skirt is quite impressive. She must do quite a lot workouts.i have to say 'wow, she looks so young and she is really in her 50s?' and i believe a lot ppl would feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteCompliments are never enough to an aged woman, especially to a beautiful woman. They can make her feel young and confident again. Compliment is a simple cure to the fear of losing beauty and attention.
It reminds me the Pipa Player In 白居易's 琵琶行，
"今年欢笑复明年，秋月春风等闲度。 弟走从军阿姨死，暮去朝来颜色故。门前冷落鞍马稀，老大嫁作商人妇。 商人重利轻别离，前月浮梁买茶去。去来江口守空船，绕船月明江水寒。" Her sadness is caused by losing beauty and attention. Madonna must feel the same way.
I just want to point out the wrinkles in her legs (near the ankles). They could have photo-shopped that...
