Who’s That Girl? (a.k.a Madonna)

Here is a post from my blog buddy in Chicago Expat Mum who writes a brilliant blog and our children are all about the same age so it’s always interesting to compare what is going on in the US Vs UK with the teenagers.  Check her out here: expatmum.blogspot.com

So Madonna’s back in the news at the moment because of her new movie W.E. (about Wallis Simpson). She was photographed at very close range the other night at her premiere, by my bloggy buddy Lulu.

If you’ve followed Madonna at all, you’ll know she reinvents herself from time to time.

We’ve had the young, slutty Madonna with the lace fingerless gloves and bows in her hair

the channeling-Marilyn Madonna,

The channeling Marilyn Monroe Madonna

and the Geisha Madonna: to name but a few.

Apparently her latest aim is to look like Mae West – in her early 70’s

I have no idea why, but I really thought Madonna would buck the Hollywood system and age with grace. Or at least with a bit less Botox and filler than she’s currently sporting. OK, so I knew she wasn’t going to go totally European and Brigitte Bardo-esque. But this? Come on Madge. You can do better”.

What do you think? If you had the money – would you do the same?? Should she be a more responsible role model to the younger generation or is this simply the way forward and I have to start saving now?

    I just looked at the pictures and Mae West is definitely what she is going for these days!

    I dressed as ’80s Madonna, lace bows and all, for a party last week. I didn’t even know she had a movie out soon. She was my idol when I was in 4th grade!
    Madonna has always been about empowerment for women, and I think her cosmetic enhancements are empowering for her. She can afford the best doctors, so why grow old? I’m thirty-somethingish and I’ve been Botoxing my forehead for two years now. *clarify–an aethestician is performing the actual injections. I did not order a DIY botox kit. And we won’t talk about how long I’ve been coloring to cover the grays…
