Borderline

If you've ever wondered exactly when mutton starts to look really bad dressed as lamb, well look no further. Judging by Madonna's latest revamp, I'd say 47 was the upper limit. Madonna did the 1970s in the 1907s, then again in the 1990s and now again for her new album. And third time round it's doing her no favours. She's dressed like an extra from the Starsky & Hutch film, possibly playing the part of probation officer by day, go go dancer by night.

No one can carry off that Farah Fawcett hair, not even the woman who almost looked good in an enormous, pointy 1950s bra. The tiny jacket makes her skinny body look too long. And, her cheeks might be waxy smooth, but smiling is putting a lot of strain on her frozen face. At least the brow lift looks like it's working though.

Madonna's stylist should go the same way as Guy Richie's cinematic muse: out the door. They've both outstayed their welcome by a couple of albums and films a piece.

The only problem I have with Madonna's hair is that people are STILL WEARING IT THAT WAY as a real style.

There seems to be a rule of nature: whatever hair style people wear in high school, they will wear it all their lives. We still have people with granny boots and slouchy socks running around in my part of the US. Soon when that becomes retro, those people will be cool again.

It seems that Madonna likes what she sees in her mirror...

Madonna has that scathing countenance aging Italian housewives get when they catch the neighbor kids stealing the milk money

It's not so much the way she looks as what she sings that gets me - her music is still 'popular' (translate, stupidly repetative on way too many levels)...

terrible what pop culture has become today...

Is it just me or is the way Madonna bats her eyelashes when she speaks really annoying? We all know she's not some demure flower so why bother with the constant blinking? And she claims she's not into "material" things but does anyone ever see her dressed or carrying anything but the most expensive designer stuff? Just a thought.
I love your blog cracker. Keep up the vital work.

Does this mean that 50 (almost) is the new 15?

Gimmie a break with that hair...
