QUEEN :: Madonna won her second Golden Globe for the masterpiece of a song she wrote and co-produced for the W.E soundtrack, “Masterpiece.” The song is a haunting ballad about a relationship with someone who is untouchable. For the past three weeks, I’ve used the song to get me through a friendship that’s going through a rough patch right now. My heart is absolutely broken and, as always, Madonna knows what’s up. She sings “nothing’s indestructible,” “I’m right by your side,” and “I will not renounce all hope.” All these things I feel about the situation going on with my friend right now, and so looking forward to the Golden Globes meant so much more to me this year than just Madonna’s appearance (more on that, later). As soon as she was announced as the winner, I burst into tears and was so relieved. I was, of course, so thrilled for Madonna and the fact that still her music was being recognized after thirty years as an artist, but it was like a sign that “Masterpiece,” something I’ve relied on to get me through a tough time, was a winner for me, too. It gave me hope that, like thousands of other times in my life, that a Madonna song was an audible map to whatever is going on, and that she understands my pain – everything is okay. Nothing’s indestructible.
Okay, enough about me. Let’s talk about that horrible, metallic, silver dress. Horrible. Her hair looked like she just got out of the pool with her kids, her make-up was hardly there, her tits were squished, and her shoulder-pads looked like doilies. I was not impressed with this look at all, but she did seem excited and happy. Not to mention how flirty, funny, and quirky she was! I guess that’s all that really matters. I feel like she should have made a much better statement with her look, however – a new film, album, tour, video, and SuperBowl performance around the corner, and that’s the effort she put into it? It was definitely a letdown, especially after how good she’s been looking over the past few weeks during major interviews all around the world. Kick it up a notch, honey. The whole world is watching.
Elton John is a sore loser. Case closed. I am sorry that Madonna has been honest about your child’s Godmother recently, but to publicly bash someone that way you did, Sir (pun-intended), especially someone nominated in the same category as you, is just childish. We’re all so sorry that your career has sucked since The Lion King. Speaking of royalty, don’t forget who the real Queen is.
This year has already been filled with enough Madonna that I can hardly keep up (just kidding). It’s like the Universe knows how to keep my mind occupied during tough times. And, as always, I’m left with Madonna to show me the way. Not that I ever doubted her guidance. Big things coming up in Madonnaland in the coming weeks, and I am so thrilled to be able to share it all with you! I can’t wait to stand in front of my masterpiece.
