Madonna’s face? I can’t believe there’s not a thread already?

I can’t fathom what I’m seeing. She has literally got a new face? It’s hurting my head

She looks so different, her face and her body.
I think she will need to update her passport photo lol

CookPassBabtridge · 25/11/2021 08:18

Yeah why do they all want fat faces.

TarasCrazyTiara · 25/11/2021 08:20

@Wagsandclaws

Yeah, there’s a pretty big difference between showing some skin in swimsuit pictures and a picture that looks some perv has taken a picture of a woman passed out under a bed with her arse out. I mean who is that meant to appeal to?
Perverts that spike drinks?

It’s not Madonna showing her arse that’s weird (that’s expected) it’s that the picture itself is just a really fucking weird thing to stage.

Also Christine Brinkley isn’t nearly as famous as Madonna so people aren’t really talking about her at all. And she looks a LOT better than Madonna.

@NigelWithTheBrie79

I was disgusted by this. I thought people would be up in arms about it tbh.Confused
Up in arms about about people working for free for her? Yeah, that's pretty shit of her - I'm pretty sure she can afford to pay people properly rather than just putting out some nonsense on SM.

And what is this Madame X thing?

Restawhile · 25/11/2021 08:21

Yes she’s had work but she’s clearly worked her arse off to look so toned and slim.

I say go Madonna , she’s trying to show that us older ladies can still be sexy and are sexual. Most men’s comments are disapproving and don’t like it. Good !

ColinTheKoala · 25/11/2021 08:26

@Pleasebeafleabite

God forbid a woman older than the MN demographic should get their arse out

Madonna’s been getting hers out since the 1980s it’s hardly a shock

I'm not sure anyone should be exposing their bottom to the world even if it's a nice one. Not sure age comes into it, really. Older women have nice bottoms too (like me Grin (sadly less so my face)) but it's better to keep them covered up.

But her face - oh dear. I can never understand why people have cosmetic surgery unless they've had an injury. You don't look younger, you just look like you've had work done. You can't argue with nature.

Wagsandclaws · 25/11/2021 08:27

@TarasCrazyTiara yes but the demographic who like Christie Brinkley and the demographic that like Madonna are completely different.

Christie Brinkley was always marketed as an all American pretty girl next door type and Madonna has cultivated an entirely different image.

Im just saying that people are on this thread taking her looks to pieces and saying she should act her age and I don't see why she should, just because that's what's expected of older women?

I'm also not saying that photo of her with her arse sucking out from under the bed isn't weird ( it is ) it's just to be expected from her and whilst threads like these keep discussing her and making her relevant she will keep doing it.

And yes I agree Christie Brinkley does look a lot better Grin

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 25/11/2021 08:27

@FlipFlops4Me

Good lord on a bicycle! I'm 64 and the thought of embarrassing my DS and DIL by behaving like that has me clenching my bottom in sheer horror.

I don't even wish I was as wrinkle free as her 'cos I earned every single one of them - laugh, frown or cry wrinkles - and my life shows in my face. She shows nothing - she's become an expressionless cringe fest.

Just as well we're not all the same eh, what a boring world that would be.

This thread is a horror show of ageist unpleasantness. I mean, why has nobody started a thread about this yet?!

Maybe because it's considered kind of rude to tear apart peoples' appearances. Have a bit of dignity for goodness' sake people.

AnOldCynic · 25/11/2021 08:28

@BleuJay and this one too

Madonna’s face? I can’t believe there’s not a thread already?
Jumpalicious · 25/11/2021 08:29

Fat is a feminist issue. As is cutting into face flesh and injecting, in pursuit of lost youth. Nothing talented about it but pandering to others’ expectations. Sad. How amazing if she just aged and we celebrated it. She still has her voice, costumes, brain, etc.

We all move through different stages too, speaking as a post menopausal woman, who has found value in other things beyond attracting men (my main interest when I was younger, I now realise, often to my own detriment). Liberating days now.

But if she wants a new face, perhaps it’s her choice. Or maybe it isn’t. Can’t be particularly nice having serious surgery, injectables, just to keep looking 30. As to giving no fucks. Seems like the complete opposite to me. She’s obsessed with her looks, as I realised when I saw the ruby wax interview with her aged late 30s. She bangs on about her looks, clearly worried about aging etc. So there’s a lot going on here!

Justilou1 · 25/11/2021 08:32

I have been thinking about Madonna’s behaviour since the trainwreck Jimmy Fallon show interview where she was appeared to be somewhat “sedated” and draped herself all over the desk, flashing her arse, and demanding to be spanked - much to the mortification of the interviewer. Then she did the photo shoot emulating Marilyn Monroe’s death scene on the bed (and under it, it would seem…).
She appears to be somewhat unhinged and inappropriate, but I suspect she’s riding the “Britney Train” in a desperate attempt to prove that she’s still relevant. (Hip with the kids?) Nothing she has ever done has ever been spontaneous.

Pigeoninthehouse · 25/11/2021 08:37

Madonna has always challenged female roles and sexuality, what's wrong with an older woman showing off her sexuality.
Also, if I had the money might be tempted to get my face done, plenty with less money getting botox (not to my taste) but its their body and their choice.

soberfabulous · 25/11/2021 08:38

Lorry Hill makes fascinating videos about celebs and their plastic surgery. Madonna's is here:

[quote Amandasummers]@givethatbabyaname right? It’s not the usual “had work done” - it’s actually unbelievable and nobody seems to even be mentioning it? I feel like I’ve gone mad lol[/quote]
She forgot to photoshop her hands. The hands never lie. She’s an embarrassment. Imagine how mortified her kids must be.

Allsorts1 · 25/11/2021 08:41

Her face is definitely just that “Hollywood” filter applied - lots of people do it on Instagram and it’s really obvious. I doubt that’s what she looks like in real life!

userxx · 25/11/2021 08:43

Filters. She would not look like that in real life.

hamstersarse · 25/11/2021 08:46

She has narcissism. She can't help it. There is no growing old gracefully when you have such a big dose of narcissism unfortunately.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 25/11/2021 08:50

She's into BDSM big time apparently I think that's what Madam x is all about and she s had a Brazilian bum lift to make it bigger so showing it off. I've been trying to get rid of my fat arse for years. I think the Stones are much more embarrassing.

tintodeverano2 · 25/11/2021 08:51

They forgot to photoshop her hands 😂

OnwardsAndSideways1 · 25/11/2021 08:52

I think Madonna would be very upset if everyone didn't comment on her appearance, that's presumably why she released these 'racy' (not sexy at all) photos! It's not like she was intrusively papped at Walmart or anything.

ThereWeAreThen79 · 25/11/2021 08:54

Fucking hell Nigel. No one should be working for her, on her vanity project for free! Shock

I know she's "Madonna" but that's just disgraceful.

comfortablyfrumpy · 25/11/2021 08:55

@Amandasummers

How is this her?
Surely that's her daughter?
Motherdare · 25/11/2021 09:00

It’s filters people. If you saw her in the flesh she wouldn’t look like that. Sadly, she’s probably look scarier as the truth of lots of cosmetic surgeries on the face is that nobody looks good. A discreet tweak here and there possibly. Madonna’s level, it just looks like surgery face. Oh well, I don’t know why anyone is shocked. It’s Madonna. She’s always done this. None of our business really. Seems to make her happy, who am I to say otherwise?

Eenymeanyminey · 25/11/2021 09:01

She's always taken photos like this so I assume people's problem is with her age?
Hit a certain age and you aren't sexy anymore or people just don't want to see it? 30nyears ago it would have been fine. 20 years? 10?
Just ageism that people are disgusted by her 'behaviour' when million of young girls do this without a 2nd thought from the audience.
People coat it with outcry of 'old enough to know better' 'youre old enough to have grandkids.' She's MADONNA. Did you really expect her to hit 60 and put on a Bon Marche Cardi and start knitting clown dolls Confused

OatALot · 25/11/2021 09:02

It's art isn't it? I don't think she needs to look like Madonna, she is just modelling in the picture to create a representation of what ever message it is she wants to get across.

Not my cup of tea. Cheap, easy and obvious, and lacks imagination.
