It is 2012, isn't it? I asked myself this question the other the night when I was flipping through the channels and came across Madonna's 1990's film Truth or Dare: The Blonde Ambition Tour. Immediately, I was reminded why I loved Madonna back in the day and still. Homegirl was giggin' her butt off. Fast forward twenty years to 2012 Superbowl XLVI half-time show and Madonna--only slightly more careful--was still working every inch of the stage in at least five inch stilettos.
"Dammit! That's supposed to me!" I want to scream. No, not a 50yr old pop icon but what she represents. Timelessness. From the top of her head to the tip of her toes, Madonna is the woman that I always envisioned myself as in 20 years. Only I didn't fathom it'd take so much sacrifice and hard work!
I'm sure Madonna doesn't indulge in cookies or donuts, or pizza with bread sticks. If she does I bet it's only once or twice a year. Or if she indulges more than that, she probably engages in frequent detoxes and flushes to rid her body of the junk.
None of which I'm interested in. That explains a lot, huh? Lol.

20 years is far too long to be singing the "whoa is me" song about the body that I want and only I can create. 2015 is the year to shut up or put up!
