Madonna @ 50+

The iconic singer celebrates a huge milestone as she turns 50.Some un-doctored, un-photoshopped pics of Madonna have leaked to the internet from a photoshoot she did for her Hard Candy album. As you can see, this is NOT the kind of thing Madonna wants the public to see. Unlike all those airbrushed, professional shots we are used to seeing, this is the real Madonna, and it’s kind of a shock to see considering the lengths she goes to in order to protect her “image.”

Madonna turned 50 this year. That’s a milestone I’d say, half a century, five decades of being a crazy attention-craving star — no small feat to still be an iconic sex-symbol at 50. But at some point, even Madonna’s going to have to throw the towel in and call it a day. She can’t be a sex-kitten forever. Eventually, even kittens grow up to be crotchety, arthritic old pusses, and Madonna’s no different.

I know some 50-year olds. Some look really great, some look a little less than stellar and most just look their age. A few wrinkles here, a few aches and pains, but no worse for wear.
To be fair, Madonna looks pretty good for her age, her REAL age, with her REAL face, without the smoke and mirrors, she does NOT however, look younger than 50, as she clearly wishes she did. And what this tells me is no matter how much you spend on beauty products, plastic surgery, specially blessed Kaballah or 3-hour a day killer workouts, you are what you are.

Madonna, embrace your age and come to terms with it. It’s good to be 50 — it certainly beats the alternative.
