I'm Sorry Madonna, but...

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.
