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?

She's like Elizabeth the First. Looking progressively freakish trying to maintain their youth but no one brave or foolish enough to tell them.
It's incredibly sad and frustrating that women are judged on their looks and nothing has changed in 400 years.

She hasn't been right ever since she had that bad fall at the Brit Awards. I think it affected her much more than she let on and she started using copious amount of drugs to get through the pain - something she was always against doing.

I can’t see anything round her neck - and would be surprised if Madonna went to the trouble of donning fake boobs, especially as 1) she’s got the real ones out before (see her Sex book) and 2) why would she bother covering the nipples if they were fake ones anyway?

Her thinking is this: “ I’m over 60 and if I age naturally and act my age people will criticise me for that. If I keep myself youthful with all kinds of plastic surgery and I don’t act my age then people will criticise me for that. So I might as well choose the latter.”

She is starting to look like the Cat woman.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 30/10/2022 22:19

Dementia?

Sorry but this IS mumsnet 😂

ItsNotNormanBatesLove · 30/10/2022 22:20

She hasn't got anything round her neck, in the photo where she's bending forward you can see the boob veins and clearly nothing around her neck! I mean they're undoubtedly a boob job but not prosthetics being worn.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 30/10/2022 22:21

I tried Google but all that came up was that she brought out an album called hard candy and a song called candy shop 🤷‍♀️

QuebecBagnet · 30/10/2022 22:21

Reminds me a bit of the Bride of Wildstein woman.

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!

Buy why, WHY is she doing this? Just for attention and publicity? Coz it sure ain't helping her music sell. I don't know anyone who has bought her music in the past decade. I used to be a huge Madonna fan and have all her records/CDs/DVDs etc up to around 2010. Frankly she makes me cringe now. She looks bizarre, she is only famous for her wacky behaviour, flashing her tits and arse, hanging around with people 30-40 years younger, and having various procedures on her face. Her photos are hilariously filtered, and I can't even put into words what she looks like!

Not that Madonna would or should care what I think and she's welcome to do what she wants with her cash, I'm disappointed she's gone for such a generic-blow-up-doll-Kardashian surgeried look and trying to look literally like she's in her 20s.

I think there's something a bit desperate-seeming about literally trying to look 40 years younger - I mean, have some surgery if you really want to, but being in total denial about your age like that seems a bit beneath her somehow. I kind of thought she'd have more strength of character than to fall for that shtick.

Yeah I am not seeing something around her neck either. It's her (fake photoshopped) boobs OR her head is photoshopped onto a 26 year old woman's body.

QuebecBagnet · 30/10/2022 22:23

Photo from 2021, looks like she has just had a bad boob job.

Allmyaarrgghandpeggymartin · 30/10/2022 22:25

Agree @Echobelly I always thought she would grow old in her own way and own her maturity like a boss. She looks like a desperate blow up doll now. Such a shame

Squirrelsnut · 30/10/2022 22:26

What a shame, she was a real beauty. 🙁

Echobelly · 30/10/2022 22:28

Yeah, I think that's at the heart of it @Allmyaarrgghandpeggymartin - she could have been a figurehead for growing older fearlessly and fiercely, instead she's trying to act and look younger than some of her own kids as if she can only remain relevant that way, rather than on her old terms as an older female pop star

PurpleButterflyWings · 30/10/2022 22:29

OMFG that photo from 2021. WTF does she LOOK like? Confused

Dunno, why does Brittany spears cover her nipples? Are uncovered nipples allowed on sm

I don't think they are the tits of a 26 year old so I don't think her head is stuck on a younger body although something looks weird about that second picture

She's the Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies they always went on about in 'Allo Allo?

Maggie178 · 30/10/2022 22:33

I think she's trying to say look at me! look at me ! give me some attention!

whoareyouinviting · 30/10/2022 22:33

I know a guy like this. He's so cool you can't actually understand anything that he says. His SM is ALL cryptic nonsense.

I grew up loving Madonna but if she's going to be 'cool' I'd like to at least understand her point.

nonono1 · 30/10/2022 22:36

I’m not sure she’s had a boob job as she’s always been quite ahem, well endowed!

HRTQueen · 30/10/2022 22:38

Isn’t that the point you will question what she means so she keeps people talking

I loved Madonna but lately she just comes across as desperate it’s a shame
