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?

Like others have said though, I do wish she’d rocked the getting older, don’t give a shit vibe - instead of resorting to filters and surgery on her face. She was stunningly beautiful as a younger woman so would still be incredibly attractive now in her natural state, I’m sure!

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

Perhaps you’re right - if she’d just grown older naturally with no surgery, would anyone be talking about her now? It’s a sad reflection on society really.

She has blood or scratches on both arms?

SavingsThreads · 30/10/2022 22:50

Those boobs are fake alright but they're not a costume.

Female nipples are banned on Instagram. Hence the censorship.

Redwineandroses · 30/10/2022 23:06

She looks abit like khloe Kardashian now. Maybe it's the same filter? Or same surgeon (!)

HeathenPlayingHouse · 30/10/2022 23:10

Definitely looks like her head is superimposed, she's got form for it.

So much ageism and misogyny and disablism here.

Calling her a mad old bat, positing dementia as a joke (it is NOT a joke, never), pretending you know what she is thinking.

Aren't breasts supposed to separate?

It looks like a prosthetic.

She doesn't look like that in RL. The difference is shocking, even though ots obvious photoshop is her friend. Or not.

She needs serious help

That’s her problem. She’s had too much “help.”

Ineedwinenow · 30/10/2022 23:30

That’s me not sleeping tonight! Why why why can’t people in the spotlight stay covered up! And nope, absolutely no idea what she means so I’m clearly an old bat too! ( I don’t understand what a lot of youngsters say and unfortunately don’t have any kids so they can’t teach me)

HebeSunshine · 30/10/2022 23:49

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

🤣😆😂

Yes! Best Post ever.

My first thought was that it from candy to money in return for sexual favours?? But surely that is too dark. I don't know. Some of her other comments and behaviour mentioned in that article are extremely confusing and odd. She may be being deliberately provocative or I can't help thinking perhaps not very well.

mycatisannoying · 31/10/2022 00:28

I hope she pays those filters overtime Grin

mileaminnie · 31/10/2022 10:35

I'm with @FlippertyGibberts
This thread has had me open mouthed at some of the insults.
She has lived an EXTRAORDINARY life - the likes of which most of us can't even imagine. Why the hell should she just "grow old gracefully" or conform to anything people expect of her. I bet her kids don't even care - they haven't been raised in the same environment as 98% of us.
She obviously enjoys presenting this way. some people make it their life's work to stand out from the rest while literally not harming anybody so for a bunch of people to jump on a thread throwing vile insults it just seems so bloody mean!!

Giggorata · 31/10/2022 10:48

Madonna was so beautiful… she has chosen not to age naturally, which I think is a shame, because her bone structure would ensure she remains a beautiful older woman.
However, it's none of my business, and she has certainly maintained a certain body tone and facial style that appears to please her, and is very much in keeping with modern standards of beauty according to what I see online.

BloodyHellKen · 31/10/2022 11:07

My eyes!!!
Thanks OP, I will never be able to not see her weird stuck on 'breasts' now 😩
Surely she doesn't need to do this for the money, how can she have so little dignity?

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 31/10/2022 11:15

I do not aspire to this look but I bloody love her ‘fuck you all’ attitude! She’s still vain, self centred, challenging and bonkers but that’s how I want my pop stars - ageing or not - to be.

Big applause for her chutzpah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

She’s rocking the ‘mono breast’

xPeaceX · 31/10/2022 11:18

Blimey.

I question whether it's a fuck you attitude. At 61 you'd expect somebody who didn't care to have less need to show off their body, less need to SHOCK, and less terror of ageing.

I don't see somebody brave anymore. I see somebody terrified to age and that doesn't seem all that wise, or all that ''fuck you''. It seems more ''fuck me I'm terrified''.

Lemonlady22 · 31/10/2022 11:20

She has the most awful breast augmentation I have ever seen( worked in the industry for years), she/they look ridiculous.

Chikapu · 31/10/2022 11:23

Oh my god, whose face is she wearing?!
