Madge...


Madonna is ten years older than me (maybe 11) ... and she has always been in my periphery . Not sure why . I guess I was a little into Desperately Seeking Susan , and I did had an 80s flop of bleached hair over one eye and fake black Ray Bans . I kinda wanted to be hot like her . Confident , iconic , sexy but not passively so , not " Oh yeah ... take me stud ..." but more " You WILL take me , because I say so , and by taking me , stud , you will thusly be taken yourself ." She was the slutty siren we all admired ... all us 14 year olds , that is .

I bring this random thing up because I'm listening to a pile of old Madonna stuff and I'm grinning like a goofball . I realize that I love Madonna and always have . Not for any musical brilliance or anything , but she is the coolest and cleanest dirty bitch having fun at the expense of her critics , splashing about in the public eye and has always been totally applauded celebrated and richly rewarded.
Even her scandals are super sanitized publicity blips that just come and go like minor speed bumps on the way to her fat ass castle full of awesomeness .

She's an ok singer with decent pop songs and an assload of horrible movies , but I fricken LOVE Madonna , and I don't care who knows it .

That is just something I figured out just now . It just happened .

I guess I've been writing WAYYY too much about myself and needed to go look at some one else . Go Madonna !
