Madonna and the myth of “aging gracefully. In any case, it is basically impossible to meet these expectations without ever showing that you are getting older. As Jessica DeFino, a journalist known for her critical writings on the prevailing beauty culture today, told Glamor magazine, people were upset with Madonna’s new face because “it seems that anti-aging is an inhumane goal and that trying to delay aging – or ‘aging gracefully'” , whatever you want to call it – was revealing the truth that it actually took an incredible amount of effort.”
Similarly, TIME magazine’s Belinda Luscombe argues in “Madonna’s Face and the Myth of Graceful Aging” that the concept of “graceful aging” is just a myth: “A common criticism made when women drink too much of the filler/botox/surgery cocktail is rookie ice.” “It’s as useful advice as telling skaters to glide effortlessly that they should ‘age gracefully.'”
“No one skates on ice or ages gracefully without a lot of effort, including the input of skilled professionals,” Luscombe said. “It’s as if older female celebrities who don’t look as contrived as Madonna are widely praised. No one sings the praises of women who look more or less normal.” .” makes his determination.
Madonna scared
Meanwhile, the Queen of Pop is dealing with much more serious problems than criticism of her appearance. In late June, the artist was hospitalized with a serious bacterial infection and was forced to postpone the North American leg of his “Celebration” world tour, a celebration of his more than 40-year career.
This is not the first health problem Madonna has experienced in recent years. He underwent hip replacement surgery in 2020 after an injury suffered on the “Madame X” tour.
But it seems the Queen of Pop has no intention of slowing down. In his first social media post after being treated for a bacterial infection, he said, “My focus right now is on my health and getting stronger and I assure you, I will be with you as soon as possible!” Madonna’s “Celebration” tour will start in London, the capital of England, on October 14, and the tour, where 600 thousand tickets were sold on the first day the tickets went on sale, is expected to last until April 24, 2024.
