It worked.

Aggie বলেছেন...

Turning heads? That's just people reacting in shock. She's walking like she's 80.

mezzrow বলেছেন...

Who?

Eric the Fruit Bat বলেছেন...

At first I thought it was a little kid.

tim maguire বলেছেন...

Eww. I made it 10 seconds.

Quayle বলেছেন...

Ann’s gone/forgotten theme today. Gone but not forgotten; not gone but wishing to be forgotten (maybe); not gone and wishing to not be forgotten (certainly).

Leland বলেছেন...

I’m with Eric. I’ll have to trust Althouse that it is indeed Madonna. I haven’t cared to see her in awhile decade or more, so I wouldn’t recognize that person as her.

Didn’t work on me.

Being a celebrity requires an insane amount of belief in your specialness.

Wilbur বলেছেন...

She's showing her skimpies and flimsies.

Robert Cook বলেছেন...

"Being a celebrity requires an insane amount of belief in your specialness."

Or a desperation to convince themselves (by any and all insane means) they are special.

It is startling to see Madonna here. As someone else noted, she looked like a young girl dressed in Madonna garb, wig and makeup, then it's clear she is shrunken old woman. I suppose she always was shorter than I perceived, her energy, brashness, and forceful aura giving her a sense of being larger than actual, (even larger than life).

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

It takes forever to lace those boots up and she already had them on when she realized she'd forgotten her panties and she was running late so she just said, "Fuck it, let's go."

Chris বলেছেন...

When they say, Madonna turned heads, they mean, people turned their heads AWAY.

Howard বলেছেন...

When she first appears in the doorway, she looks like a 12-year-old girl dressed up for a casting call with Roman Polanski. However, when she takes those steps she is so careful and gingerly placing her feet that she looks like she is a centenarian.

If Skeletor and She-Ra had a daughter.

1. Too tall heels for far too long.

2. Clothes are off proportion, especially the dress. Not flattering.

3. You can run away from aging, but it will always catch you (unless you die young, in which case inevitable death caught up with you before inevitable aging).

Pathetic

Dried beef's where you find it
Just not where nobody grinds it
Come on, Vogue!!

Iman বলেছেন...

He’s full of it. That old, snake-headed prick fits right in and is right where he belongs.

Joe Bar বলেছেন...

Imagine telling everyone in 1989 that Roseanne will be better looking than Madonna.

Whoops, and no trash can icon…

Matt বলেছেন...

Why didn’t the cameraman lower the camera when she was walking right at him? You had one job…

Peachy বলেছেন...

Lots of time & money - gym and, face fillers & plastic surgery.
She's so vain... she probably thinks this thread is about her....

Wince বলেছেন...

It's the camel toe under the tent.

Iman বলেছেন...

Dew on teh lily?

She’s 67
She’s “brutalist”
And she’s yours

Iman বলেছেন...

Good one , Matt @8:49am!

Madonna earned her first top 10 hit on the Hot 100 with “Pantyline” in June 1984…

Iman বলেছেন...

A string of hits followed…

NKP বলেছেন...

Quirky but unremarkable among her peers and frankly, less offensive than many. A-listers and those who attend them have there own personal ecosystem.

Question for the boys: If you 'had to' do one of them... ?Madonna. Hillary. Cher. Brooke. (and you thought math was hard).

Ladies: Rod (Do ya still think he's sexy). Hair-Sniffin' Joe. RFK, Jr. 'Rambo'. (I think the ladies got a better list).

Maynard বলেছেন...

Very sad. She looks like a washed up old slut. Really old and slutty.

I thought well of her in the 1980's, but she apparently could not handle success.

Iman বলেছেন...

The diva’s first Hot 100 No. 1 came in December of 1984, when “Whiff of Sturgeon” began its six-week reign atop the list dated Dec. 22, 1984. She’s collected a total of 12 No. 1s in her career thus far, reaching the top seven times in the ’80s (“Sturgeon,” “Hosebeast for You,” “Live to Spread,” “Papa Don’t Touch” “Open Your Wallet,” “Who’s That Hussy” and “Like a Whoah”), four times in the ’90s (“Plague,” “Justify My Muffin,” “This Used To Be My Corner” and “Take a Hike”).

Iman বলেছেন...

Just kiddin’…

Tush, dear Iman. Your comment fit in very nicely on this thread.

SHe got me to watch it twice. Is that really Madonnna? So I had to rewatch.

Ampersand বলেছেন...

I just remembered who Madonna reminds me of. Many years ago (maybe 2006), I participated in the deposition of Helen Gurley Brown. It was a stupid lawsuit over rights in some photos published by Cosmo. The deposition was in a conference room at Cosmo, and Helen walked in with an awkwardness (perhaps from a butt lift) that made her look as if she were using stilts. Her face had a rictus grin and showed unmistakeable signs of multiple cosmetic surgeries. She looked as though a human being had been squeezed into a badly designed robot. That was the look that Madonna conveyed to me. Of course, the 80-something year old Helen's miniskirt reached all the way down to her knees. Helen was terribly prudish.

FullMoon বলেছেন...

Lotsa mean girls here today...

Sydney বলেছেন...

She must be incredibly short, or she's surrounded by incredibly tall people and doors. Without the heels she must be under 5 foot.

gspencer বলেছেন...

"So that's where my go-go boots finally wound up. Who knew that Madonna shops at Savers."

Tom T. বলেছেন...

"Eww. I made it 10 seconds."

That's what she said. ;-)

Lazarus বলেছেন...

She's unattractive, dresses poorly, and may have madonnorexia.

tcrosse বলেছেন...

How well I remember Madonna's Playboy spread in 1985, taken when she was 20. She wasn't quite the next Brigitte Bardot, but was the hair apparent.

Madonna, Michael Jackson, and I are all the same age. I think she looks the best, and has the highest body count, but I'm second with both. I think she looks good for 67. Some people my age can barely move, and look like they're ready for the hole.

Daddy Binx বলেছেন...

I watched it zero times, so if someone wants to use my unused first viewing to cancel out their second one, go right ahead and do that.

Sydney বলেছেন...

The reporter call of "la la la la" is there, too.

Smilin' Jack বলেছেন...

Sheesh, what’s with all the hate here? Did she shoot your dog or something? I think for an aging pop star she looks perfectly fine.

Iman বলেছেন...

“Leave Madonna alone!”

What Howard said

Iman বলেছেন...

She did have a good many pop music hits, for sure.

Fred Drinkwater বলেছেন...

"Madonna has a plan to make you watch this video more than once."
As a planner Madonna is (was) an OK singer.

bagoh20 বলেছেন...

It worked on me.

Jim at বলেছেন...

In order to watch it again, one must click to watch it once.

Hard pass.

Clyde বলেছেন...

Unless a woman is practicing the world's oldest profession, she probably shouldn't wear a dress like that.

Josephbleau বলেছেন...

So I guess the plan involved showing a blurry picture of her snatch so people would look again to be sure that’s what it was? I just like things to be out in the open.

Quaestor বলেছেন...

Here's a grateful hat tip to Althouse for giving me the opportunity to not watch that multimedia screed even once.

bob বলেছেন...

Ugh. Where do I go to erase the first view from my memory?
