All Hail

I am in no way going to try to claim that what Madonna wore to the Met Gala was beautiful, forward-thinking or fashionable.  But it was fabulous.  Fabulous in the sense that only Madonna could wear a hiked up bubble skirt, Michael Jackson gloves, bondage boots, bunny ears (?) and a scrunchie (oh, apparently they DO exist in NYC Miss Carrie Bradshaw!).  Yet she managed to wear all this without it wearing her.  Ok, she looked more than a tad ridiculous.  But she also looked like herself, and purely confident.  At least that's what those biceps are telling me.

So let's take the heat off Madge for awhile, shall we?  I think Blake Lively and Cindy Crawford were much larger disasters.  In similarly wanton and bedazzled high school prom gowns, complete with matching leg slits no less, the pair looked like they were playing a game of sexy dress-up— one much too young, and one much too old.  Both looked uncomfortable.

Ladies, please wear something that says you, not someone else.  Even if that means pulling out the 80's hair accessories.
