Madonna continues to show her latest fishnets and boots in public places and, sure, credit where credit's due, she's still fit and in great shape. Even so, she's now well in her sixties. Even if you do look good in older age, it's kind of awkward to be seen acting like a twenty year old. If, for example, Madonna were to be seen semi naked in her dance leotard working out, that to me is O.K. It's saying you can age and still be in great shape. However, to go around in pvc boots and skimpy tops aged 60 odd seems to me a bit tacky. Like it or not, we can't stay young forever. Naturally as we age, we lose hair, lose some libido, put more fat on and suffer joint pains. At such a time, we are better prepared to make use of the wisdom of years.
In some ways it seems Madonna has gotten more outrageous lately than 15 years ago. It's a reluctance to accept the basic fact numbers still register with people.
I have learned to be very careful over age. The number of times people asked me to, "guess how old I am." In one case I tried to change the topic but sometimes they insist. In one case I made a serious guess, but as soon as the word " "fifty----" left my lips, the individual had stormed off. Apparently he was still in his thirties.
