Madonna's gloves

[auntpetunia]

anyone idea why Madonna is wearing gloves? very strange. The rest of her outfit is pretty normal but the gloves are bugging me.

Probably because she's realised how raddled her hands are - they are all veiny and sinewy and nasty - they have been for ages but I bet she's only just realised just how horrid they look. Her hands show her age and then all the years the rest of her doesn't show - she is practically an old age pensioner, and her hands are where you can really tell.

Maybe she's sick of the nasty comments the press and other women (shame on you Pom) make about her hands? And she's nowhere near being an OAP - you don't become one until you are 70.

she's 52 isn't she?

ii'd say it' because of all the ccomments too, Mabel. Even though she came across as not a verynice person, it mustn't be nice hearing that

OAP is 60 for women here (isn't it? My mam became one at 60 - 60 for men and 65 for women. I know there's legislation afoot to even it up between men and women and make women work longer before pensions but even that's only going to push it to 68 iirc) And her hands are unsightly - she has built her career partly on her appearance, it matters in her "job" she will always be subject to comment on what she wears, what she weighs, how she looks, she has courted the press for thirty odd years and an awful lot of that has been about her appearance. The rest of her belies her years, her hands add years on to her.

Generally, she looks fab for her age. But her cheeks are so puffed up with whatever work she has had done that you can hardly see her eyes!

Aside from the hand thing, why wear gloves with the label emblazoned on them, looked really cheap.
I always thought that those with money didnt need to advertise a label because those in the know would know what they were.
They were very chav imho

"Generally, she looks fab for her age"

I think so too.

She has had sooooooooooo much plastic surgery on her face. Might briefly keep the lines away, but she's a step away from becoming the new bride of Frankenstein.

Madonna came on wearing fingerless gloves which is fashionable in the USA now for the purpose of disguising your hands ? your aging and wrinkly hands. Her face did not look natural for a 53 year old woman. Though I couldn?t work if it was botox or a facelift that gave her a rigid, but youthful look. I found it disappointing to see how she is buying into the easy equation: femaleness means youthful looks.
