I give Madonna full credit – she’s a master marketer. I don’t know a single fan, yet she makes bazillions. (Of course, most of us 50+ femmes don’t go to such concerts, much less stay out after dark unless we’re on a martini roll…)
BUT, we’re almost the exact same age…and I get EMBARRASSED for her. Really, honey, eat a donut and take off those ears. I know people tell you how ab fab you are, all day long…but just ‘cuz you’re a celebrity and “fashion icon” (for whom, I ask) doesn’t mean you can wear absolutely anything (Sidebar: This means you Brad Pitt. Black socks with shorts and sandals IS NOT a good look.)
As Tallulah Bankhead once said, “After 40, you must choose between your face and your ass.” Unfortunately, these days – what with plastic surgery, botox, collagen, and power workouts – many women try to have both. NOT a pretty sight. I may end up looking like a basset hound, but at least people won’t make the sign of the evil eye when I walk by…
P.S. What is it with the Olsen twins? They’ve got a fashion label and they think this looks good? Tip: If the 20-somethings don’t look good wearing bunny ears, us “old women” ain’t gonna improve on the look.
