I love the first series of ads, they're some fierce shit! But all ads are airbrushed to high heaven, it's just the way it is. This one's my fave...

That woman's starving herself (or at least is exercising too hard). Ain't she a vegetarian now?

Dear, Madonna.... let me tell you about yourself: I am going to send you to Ms. Betty house down on Lowry and Penn Ave. over Broadway. Knock on the door and tell them Little Zay sent you. Betty going to fix you some cabbage and yams, I think she got some greens and black eye'd peas with some bacon. On the stove the mashed pertaters are cooking slowly with some honey brown glazed ham and gravy. There's some ribs in that aluminum foil, she just took them out about a hour ago; it's on the table. Baby don't hold yourself back, in the oven Auntie got some angel cake and cornbread hot and ready. She only let you take one piece though. If you want a side there's some corn in the cabinet you gotta find the can opener though...Lord knows where she puts that thing. Then make sure you don't let Peaches eat her cookies before she eat her vegetables. Gram don't be paying attention sometimes. Anyway Ms. Betty will take care of that right away. Just say thank you before you walk out.

Do you have ANY idea about advertising?? They won't LET her look this bad in ads (why would they??), they're airbrushed to death - you can hardly tell it's her How naive

filthy hag needs to retire

OH PLEASE Nobody's making fun of her age, it happens to us all. Bottom line - she needs to EAT

FIRST of all your rudeness was uncalled for I WORK IN ALL FACETS OF FASHION/EVENTS as well as a collector of magazines... my point was in Madonna's defense these photos might have been doctored to make her look WORSE than it actually is, Yes she's gone over board however in live shots of her out and about her veins aren't bulging out as bad as those pics.


you can go play in traffic now

CalhounSq said:

A post a few posts down: "filthy hag needs to retire".

why do you call her "duckna"?

scriptgirl said:

b/c she's a duck I've never thought she was very attractive, though she photographs beautifully (except for these candid arm shots)...

like i said in the other thread in GD, we also need to factor in the change. her body has always been manish but now it's going to get even more so because of the decrease of estrogen.

ehuffnsd said:

Yea, her figure was never all that feminine but she worked what she had very well. I just wish she would go for a softer look instead of this crazy lean mess Being toned used to look great on her:







Now she just needs to allow herself to gain a few

I can´t even stand looking at the rest of the pictures.

purplesweat said:

Did I, the thread starter, say that? Or is that someone chiming in? I can't control that. My point is she needs to EAT, that is all

utopia7 said:

How was that rude? Your comment was naive as fuck, I'm being honest boo boo You can't possibly have an idea of what happens in fashion spreads if you think she looks anything like the Louis V. ads This is how she looks. Accept it & get over yourself

She's very thin, the only thing naturally "meaty" on her is her thighs - she's said this herself. Nobody looks like that unless they're keeping their body fat extremely low combined w/ working out. & the bottom line is she's too old to keep doing that AND look "supple" or healthy. She's looked like this for years, but the pics you've seen are probably when she (& her muscles) are in a more relaxed state so they don't look as bad. Blame her, she's doing it to herself...

that's crap

overweight people are being ridiculed all the time

Dewrede said:

Totally true.

But we all have seen time and time again (on here even) that those that complain about fat people being made fun of seem to have no problem making fun of those 'skinny bitches'.

CalhounSq said:

No, you didn't say it. You told me no one is making fun of her age, then two posts later someone did...

CalhounSq said:

But they are a magazine collector!

Seriously, are people that daft?

Candids are doctored and print ads are the real deal, don't you know!

CalhounSq said:

Would you say the same thing if she had gained weight? Fat people do it to themselves too through overeating and not exercising, but it's so politically incorrect to say anything about that.
There's no evidence she's unhealthy. She makes it through a very demanding show with a lot of dancing with a lot of energy.
There's a lot more evidence that being overweight is unhealthy but you are bigot if you call someone fat, but making fun of her arms and veins is fine, of course.

i would never tell someone that they were fat but i know several people that have no problem coming up to me and telling me to eat something.
