Happy Birthday, Madonna

Today is Madonna's 52nd Birthday! We will have a tribute post in her honour and it will double as Music Monday.

I really love Madonna. She is a favourite. For 30 years, this bitch has been kicking ass, winning the hearts of people from many generations. All this from a woman who lost her mother to cancer at the age of 5, had to take care of herself and her siblings, and had to work hard at everything else; she was a straight-A student! And at 19 she made the bravest move of her life: she relocated to New York with no more than $35 in her pocket.

Second best is never enough, you'll do much better baby on your own.

Waiting for you.

When you're around, I don't know who I am.

Gomen nasais.

Mujhe maaf kardo.

Przepraszam.

Sli'kha.

Forgive me...

This is a photo from Interview Magazine, which was shot a few months back. I know this image has been photoshopped to hell and back, but those abs are REAL. Her skin is saggy and it's been airbrushed to make it look like it's young and smooth...it's not. She's still old, no matter what, and age will have an effect on her skin. But the muscles are real! She works hard at her body. At 52, Madonna has abs. I will have a lot of things at 52 but abs won't be one of them.
