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, Madonnaâs latest stylistic reinvention â timed to the start of a new tour next month â 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.
…
âShe doesnât seem to have found a particular look for this album,â said Clare Parmenter, a 35-year-old biomedical scientist in London who maintains a fan site called Madonnalicious.com. âItâs a bit â I donât know how to say it â itâs nondescript.â
Well, you pretty much know how we feel about the singer…

How ‘british’ of her.
hells kitchen guy
Yeah, I agree. I’m surprised he didn’t analyze her poop for omens. The article was navel-gazing at its worst.
Woof
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 đ

Scooter, who says Reversion is a queer?
Michael
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?
afrolito
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.
Scooter Bangs
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.
AZgaybe
