Looking Into Madonna's Wilting Style…
Madonna's sliding down the style food chain, according to Eric Wilson, who spills an insane amount of ink on the pop star's evolving "look." Or is it devolving?
For a performer who has spent 25 years shocking audiences into submission, through her lyrics, actions and attire, Madonna’s latest stylistic reinvention — timed to the start of a new tour next month — is mostly shocking for not having teeth.The new Madonna look, as seen in paparazzi photographs taken on the streets of New York over the last couple of weeks, evokes a kind of athletic, campus-casual blandness, as if designed for anonymity at the gym.
…
“She doesn’t seem to have found a particular look for this album,” said Clare Parmenter, a 35-year-old biomedical scientist in London who maintains a fan site called Madonnalicious.com. “It’s a bit — I don’t know how to say it — it’s nondescript.”
Well, you pretty much know how we feel about the singer…

How 'british' of her.
Yeah, I agree. I'm surprised he didn't analyze her poop for omens. The article was navel-gazing at its worst.
Um she is a 50 year old mom. She isn't the young scandelous skank she once was. Give her a break.
Women age, that's life. Can anyone expect her to look as good as she was in her thirties. No wonder so many actresses go through botched plastic surgeries and end up looking like Frankenrella, the pressure is far too much to bear.
And name a single artist who has managed to last as long as Madge when it comes to worldwide success.
Woof and Adrien Rose, I think that's the point of the article. Originally, Madonna was an off-beat looking young woman with an original sense of style. She's had her facial features altered into blandness, her body sculpted into a mannequin, and she's pulling her clothes off the rack at H&M. (Nothing wrong with H&M, they're great - for some things.) Madonna has become the masses. She is no longer eye-catching, ear-catching, or attention-catching. She is, in a way, an OC housewife.
Okay, folks. Pile on me. I have balsphemed a high-priestess.
i think maddie's out of her Black/white phase Zoom, but keep up the constant botting.
*********
I'm down with Ajax on this one. (Good logical reading skills! Why do so many gays lack them?) except regarding H&M. i kind of think they're stuff is a bit shoddy and size-scaled way too small. A large should fit a 40" chest without ripping on inhale.
Scooter, if you're busting through a size large, all I have to say is: WOOF ;-)
Kylie is better ^.^
there's no such thing as "devolution"
devolution

Date: 1545
1: transference (as of rights, powers, property, or responsibility) to another; especially : the surrender of powers to local authorities by a central government
2: retrograde evolution : degeneration
Where are the smart queers? Do they have a blog?
Scooter, who says Reversion is a queer?
Good for you, Scooter. Yes, Virginia, devolution is a word. While I agree that Madge is a bland housewife these days, and she has pretty much sold out, I am also pissed at journalists such as this who stupidly think she needs to be walking from the gym to Starbuck's in a custom-designed stage costume. WTF?
Madonna wears gym clothes to the gym, like most normal people. Where's the story?
As far as her being a bland housewife like the masses, what planet are you people living on? I don't know any bland housewives who wear Gucci ,Prada,and Lous Vuitton. Madonna brings the glam when it's called for. When she's up everyday at 6am rehearsing for her upcoming tour, there aint anything bland about that.
Btw, the Times article was actually pretty fair and balanced, but judging from the responces here, I doubt any of you actually read it.
Thanks for the props mikey…i was awaiting yr anointing.
I Read the article with my smarty-farty goggles on and you & AfroLito are missing the point.
it's hysterical that so many queers think this is about her gym clothes. Try reading it again without True Blue playing so loud in the background.
gay worship of mad donna aka esther…isnt she an entertainer who i'm sure doesnt have a copy of "Sex" on her coffee table right now-just sayin…give it up mad donna look what happened to LIZA!
Congratulations Ajax, you've learned that your idol is human. Now destroy her.
P.S. They shoot horses, too.
