Exactly.Madonna could easily spend thousands of dollars on silly nose jobs,face-lifts,and other "gimmicks" that would make her appear younger.But she would rather look her own age,and there's nothing wrong with that.She's a 46-year old mother of two.She shouldn't have to look like a teenager anymore.

I agree,these photos are GREAT.I love the whole Versace campaign.It'll keep her in the spotlight until her next major project.

Versace does have some ugly clothes, but I think these pictures are alright.

This topic was made by an MJ worshipper.

Of course we'll just have to wait for Versace's new line of jailhouse clothing and im sure she'll pick MJ to model the new line.

True,but older artists are much more interesting than the younger acts

Those creased polyesther pants are hideous! Remind me of something my step-mom's mom would wear... and my step-mom is Madonna's age, so you know those are just old looking clothes.

It's uncanny.

CinisterCee said:

now, you know versace is not using polyester in that pant! its probably the softest, most comfortable cotton you cold ever put your ass in. and, by the way, i love the way they look...especially the waist - is that a seperate belt or is it part of the pant?

Either of you may be right about the fabrication. I've been wearing Versace for about 11 years now, and this was before his death. He did not compromise in most of his creations as far as fabrication. He used the best silks, wools, cashmeres, leathers, etc. However, after he died and Donatella took over, she turned the line to shit. She used to be in charge of the Versus line, which was a lower priced line and was kind of cheesy looking - sort like her. She fired all of his designers and hired a new design team to her liking. IMO, she destoyed the line. Thank god I still have the Versace Couture clothes that I do have. I'll have them forever because they are exquisite creations that will never be duplicated.

i've never liked versace's mens lines. they've always looked like clothes for old gay men, lol. the suits are another story but, as a general rule, even when he was alive, versace mens clothes were always gauche and very eurotrash (in my opinion). i suppose there are exceptions though; i did find a great versace sweater back in october. on the other hand, i think versace womens clothes have always been fabulous. still kind of eurotrashy but in a hot, sexy way.

I like the clothes, and the pictures themselves aren't bad. It's all the shit they did to the picture after it was taken that I object to. it doesn't even look like Madonna. Too much airbrushing is not a good thing. I'd reather see the lines in her face.

the thing is there's an entire series of photos and the only one that doesn't really look like madonna is that first one. i don't understand why they did so much work to just one photo. i mean, wait, i know they did work to all of them but the one that stands out like crazy is the one at the top of this page.

I'm no worshipper, plus the Red Zipper Jacket is Versace. My love for MJ has nothing to do with Madonna looking bad in these ads. I'm no hater.

nice pic

Im sorry, i realized the irrelevance of my comment 10 minutes after i posted it.
All these negative Madonna comments tend to piss me off, so from now on im going to wait 10 minutes to post my thoughts in order to be able to absorb all the negativity.
forgive my rudeness

Oh boy, I hope I look that "horrible" at 45...

actually, won't she be 47 in august? (sorry, just trying to drive heiress' point home even further)

Yes,she will be 47 in August,as will Michael Jackson.

Prince turns 47 in June.


hard to believe they were all born the same year,only weeks apart.

SassyBritches said:

The only way heiress would have a point: "Oh boy, I hope I look that "horrible" at 45...after professional airbrushing, makeup and lighting up the wazoo."

In candids, Madonna looks her age.

VoicesCarry said:

yes, and in candids madonna looks fabulous.

SassyBritches said:

Ehhhhh

uh huh, everybody can take a bad photo. you can especially take a bad photo when you get followed by the paparazzi all the time; they're bound to get a bad shot at least a few times a day.

and in contrast...

Like I said before...Madonna is a 46-year old mother of two.She looks her age and that's fine.I'd rather for her to look her age,instead of looking fake and artificial like so many other aging pop "divas" who spent thousands of dollars on plastic surgery (not mentioning any names).Also,remove the make-up from any other female celebrity in her 40s and you will see that they don't look so hot either.

DavidEye said:

yeah...i don't think anyone was saying madonna looks "young" for her age. I don't think anyone was saying she's not airbrushed in those photos. people are just saying that she still looks good. we'd all be talking about how fabulous she looks if she were our own mother or even just the neighbor. because she's a celebity - more importantly, madonna - we dog her for ONLY looking good for age. whateva, treva.

SassyBritches said:

Yeah,it's so unfair.I guess some people expect her to look like she's 23 forever...lol...

DavidEye said:

its mainly a problem women face. nobody is saying prince is looking old. heck, when a man ages he becomes distinguished but when a woman ages she just gets old.

Christ!
If Madonna decides not to get extensive plasitc surgery, we will insult the woman for again.
If she gets plastic surgery we will insult her for that too.

It's a lose/lose situation for women, especially celebrities.

Just let Madonna age for fucks sakes and why not judge something that is meant to and should be judged, her music and her work....

I agree,but let's be fair to VC.He's only 19,so naturally,he wants all his favorite female artists to look as young as he is

DavidEye said:

He always tends to insult Britney, Cher, Madonna etc.. over their little mishaps, but you would never catch him saying anything over Miss Jackson if you're nasty.
When Janet turns 46 and decides to age or be a plastic surgery addict, guarantee he won't peep a word. She'll always look great to him.

People who think Madonna fans are always praising her looks should visit the Madonna boards, because most fans tend to agree she looks her age.
