Madonna - went from candy to money

I don’t understand her recent Instagram post where she says she went from candy to money. Admittedly I’m not very “up” on modern parlance, which is why I’m asking - what does it actually mean?

It doesn't mean anything - it's not any sort of 'modern parlance'. It's just her trying to get attention - and it's worked!

She looks a bit like Katie Price. They must use the same filter.

nonono1 · 30/10/2022 22:00

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t have a clue what she’s on about! I thought it was some sort of trendy urban reference, but it could of course just be total nonsense! 😂

Does anyone actually know what “candy to money” means though? Thanks

I think its a reference to a TV show called Bob's Burgers.

So in one episode the Bob's family go trick and treating.
One of the adults points out to the children they have too much candy and they should sell some of it.
One of the smart arse children retorts that they would just end up buying more candy with the money! Then says
"Money is just candy that hasn't been born yet."

So, I think Madonna is making reference to this. What her bare boobs have got to do with it, I don't know! But that's Madonna for you.
Does she think showing her boobs is controversial?

Bunnyfluffles · 30/10/2022 22:03

Maybe it means something like she was sweet and innocent and then realised she could get money for showing her bosoms? Very eewww.

flapjackfairy · 30/10/2022 22:04

am I the only one who thinks she looks like her head is superimposed on the body !

Unsure33 · 30/10/2022 22:04

I remember Her years ago saying she never let her child watch tv etc as it was a bad influence. And here she is posting her bare breasts and other strange things. What a hypocrite.

HadEnoughOfBears · 30/10/2022 22:04

For those of you commenting on her breasts, they're actually fake ones she has on - you can see round the neckline that it's a costume.

Bunnyfluffles · 30/10/2022 22:05

No! I agree. She looks like she's been dipped in wax like a wierd hammer horror film

CrapBucket · 30/10/2022 22:07

I don't think the phrase means anything. I think its like Eric Cantona when he was waffling on about seagulls and trailers. Celebrities spouting nonsense, and there is nothing to understand.

Oysterbabe · 30/10/2022 22:09

She looks like that bloke off of the saw.

I don’t see anything round the neckline? I hope for her sake it’s a prosthetic/strap on boobs. They look awful if it’s a boob job.

QuebecBagnet · 30/10/2022 22:11

Isn’t candy slang for sex? So is she saying she’s made money over the years from being raunchy and getting her tits out!?

AuntieJoyce · 30/10/2022 22:11

Well i can’t unsee that one @Monoprix

Hmmm, possibly. I'm sorry but those are not the breasts of a 64 year old woman. I am NOT being ageist before anyone starts. Just stating a fact. They are either hugely photoshopped implants, or as you say, her head is photoshopped onto a much younger woman's body.

Slig · 30/10/2022 22:13

I'm in 2 minds about this.

On one hand I think she's knows exactly what's she's doing. She's still regularly in the papers at 64. She's always had shock value. How's many female rock/pop stars over 60 have you seen in the media recently?

But on the other hand I think "Yeah, she's lost her marbles!"

I'm hoping it's the first one!

TheDogsMother · 30/10/2022 22:13

Good God she looks horrific !

I used to love Madonna, but she appears to have lost her mind.

That was lost a long while ago !

Frankly, Madonna's 'ooh look at mah titties, let me french kiss a girl, I'm soooo radical and daring' act is so fucking boring now.

nonono1 · 30/10/2022 22:14

@Monoprix sorry but the inference still isn’t clear to me! Maybe I’m being thick… can you explain?

Maybe she is referencing the TV show Bob’s Burgers as a PP suggested (I’ve never heard of it!)

Ahh yes, now you've mentioned it you can see it round her neck

I had no idea candy was slang for sex, but if it is then I guess that makes some kind of sense! Thanks!
