Of course she's aware, she posts on MNation in the Flop Princesses section under a nickname. She's especially active in the Gaga thread.

did she choose plumber's putty over botox ?

Absolute hell before the show! I went with my sister. Our train stopped a couple stops away from Yankee Stadium and we were all ordered out because trains couldn't go further because there was a fire being put out in the tunnels. It was a mass exodus of Madonna fans walking a mile in the dark pouring rain to the stadium. It was like a scene from a biblical film!
Then while walking there Miguel was texting me from the stadium about some goofup with his Golden Triangle entry. I was freaking out and almost crying thinking they wouldn't let me in. Once I got there I was nearly flipping out at the window as I explained myself. But it was all cleared up and we all got in. And Miguel was already in the triangle with his guest, but I didn't know because I couldn't get a signal there to contact him. Anyway, we all did get in.
Once we were in and the show started, all that hell was over. It was like giving BIRTH. The pain was excrutiating but once my eyes laid upong that baby of a show playing in front of me, I was in LOVE and bliss.
By the way, miss condescending golden triangle lady at the window? I have your pen and you're not getting it back!
The other triangle guy there was helpful. 
We wore ponchos in there. It was really pouring early on. I barely took pics this time. At some points there was so much water coming down I didn't want to fuck up my camera. I thought to myself, I took like a 1000 pics at the 1st NYC show (many which came out quite nice), fuck it, I don't really need more. Anyway this time I was really watching the SHOW and all the other intricacies flowing in front of me. Watching this in the rain felt so wild and invigorating! I took my poncho off later in the show when the rain calmed down and danced and jumped like a maniac.
I moved around a lot in the triangle but Miguel was nearby me throughout the show. He was looking up at Madonna in complete AWE of her. He's in the green poncho below.
It was so adorable and precious. He's never seen her that close and was really taking the show in!
She worked that crowd and gave us NY sass. At this show I was especially mesmerized during Candy Shop/Erotica and Like A Virgin. Watching her writhe around on stage so confidently during CS was a marvel. I just can't get over it! One of her most sophisticated performances ever! I could see Brahim's bulge in his pants.
Watching her perform LAV in the rain felt more sad and haunting. Wow, I would look up above her to the sky and back down and you'd see the stadium lights illuminating the rain pouring down on her while she lay on the stage or was having the corset tightened on her. It was such a deeply moving sight!I was hoping she'd go off the script a bit and do something special for her 2nd NYC show. The crowd went nuts when she surprised us with Holiday. When she did that I knew this show was truly off the hook!
I'm mentally drained but the show was a fucking incredible experience. If you have the chance to see this tour and don't have tickets yet, go see it! Don't let this opportunity to see the greatest living legend doing what she does best pass you by!
Us after the show...
you're all so damn cute and sexy (and i love your golden shower bracelets). -
In Paris we had hard rain for weeks and when Madonna hit the stage at Stade de France it stopped right there.

It looks even more theatrical and beautiful under the rain (in Brussels)

Lets be honest, she fucked them all.
Of course she did and with a didgeridoo :
Wasn't there some kind of scandal regarding this pic when she was in Australia as natives said women were not allowed to touch didgeridoos and they cursed her or something ? That's the reason why she can't go back. Some kind of aboreginal entity is preventing her from touching the australian soil....Cut to Lourdes before the eyebrows trim.

Maybe she'll have an "All the way Mae" moment.

By the time she replaced the swastika THE WHOLE WORLD associated it with Marine Le Pen..question mark was a very tongue in cheek move. People who say she is a coward are the same who blamed her for putting the swastika in the frst place and she did more concerning the matter than any other band or pop artist did including french ones who are rather silent on the subject.

Nice : (From Dr Lecter in the Nice show thread)
What a flop tour ! I mean it's pretty obvious these people were dragged there after being randomly chased in the streets by Madonna's staff and locked into the venue, guarded with rifles and machine guns. See how they are screaming "Get me out of here, please" i can read their lips in french "Laissez-moi partir d'ici !". In fact we all know that this golden circle thing is a trap where they put people so they can't go and leave the venues like all the others do. It's not a golden circle it's an anti floptour trap ! It's an ipad generated scheme .
-
she just dedicated Masterpiece to Elton John saying "he's a big fan of it and I forgive him"
-
Yes it is that's why i don't get why people keep going to these venues. S&S in Nice was horrible and when i saw it in Bercy the following year it was a completly different experience. That's why i don't understand people who love music and go to festivals...
-
This is why Stade Charles Erhmann sucks. this pic has been taken from the sitting section which is always way in the back. I pity the people who buy sitting places at this venue. The sound is awful anywhere IN the venue but great outside
-
It's gonna be wild. Marine le Pen's supporters are in full force on websites and in front of the venue. Remember that Marine le Pen got 20% of the votes in the last election and that it's the only place where her party had people actually elected (her niece). 2 weeks ago a 50 y/o couple in the area got drunk and tried to kill 13 french young men with north African ancestors with a rifle. According to police and witnesses the youngsters did nothing to provoke them. The couple stopped their car to ask them their direction and when they answered they told them "It's not an arab that will give me direction" and they started chasing them shooting everywhere. They were arrested and immediately judged. 4 years in prison for the man and 2 for the woman and guess what's happening now ? Villagers are protesting the verdict and are petitioning to have the ruling overturned. The minister of justice is a black woman so they are saying she's protectiong arabs and blacks instead of "real french" people. THIS IS (sadly) South of France. This is why i'm glad and proud Madonna spoke against Marine le Pen.
And Yes she deserved a swastika on the forehead because she's a fucking pro nazi just like her father is. Here she is posing in 1997 in Munich with Franz Schönhuber who used to be in the Hitler youth and was a decorated Waffen SS . He wrote a book on Marine's father.
-
why is she always dressed? I mean, is it to avoid the sun, or because she feels insecure of her body when she´s not on stage??
One of the first thing you notice when you see Madonna in the flesh is how fair her skin is, like porcelaine, glowing ! So it must be very sun sensitive i guess.
-
Steven Klein is there.
-
Her career is over. Actually the show ends with "Into the groove" but nobody knows it since by Celebration everybody leave the show even M and her dancers.
-
Now she's gonna have to photoshop the crowd for the DVD like Beyonce did :
-
Maybe she's releasing her own brand of meat
-
"Yes i'm a tramp and i'm proud of it" ! 1991. Some things never change
-
Take it with a grain of salt because it's only a suggestion but a friend of mine, very well connected in the fashion industry told me that "Some girls" has been picked as the soundtrack of a major brand fall tv ad campaign.
-
I'm so embarrassed by the parisian reaction that i can't even watch a rerun of the concert or visit this thread. I just can't believe how vile and full of hate people are. I wish Madonna will skip France on her next tour, even her french fans are acting like entitled connasses (bitches).
And as far as Le Pen is concerned she deserved the swastika on her forehead. This is her with nazi

Madonna dedicates "Masterpiece" to Gaga. The ultimate diss? Discuss!

You don't need to love Madonna to hate Gaga, she's doing well on her own. Even though from the beginning she was marketed as the new Madonna (it ws even printed on the flyers of her first showcases under the Universal contract), ripped off "Vogue" & "Express yourself" in "Alejandro"....Gaga is an insufferable CPW princess whom grew up feeling entitled and couldn't fathom the fact that people disagreed but she calls this bullying when it's all bullshitting. Even Michael Jackson never blew his own horn as much as Gaga does. I just can't fucking stand her victimization, it really is the defense system of spoiled brats who don't have a fucking clue what suffering, struggling and pain really are. If she wants to blame somebody she should blame her parents who lied to her growing up, telleing her she was beautiful and talented, basically lying to her that's why she does not like the truth. As a musician she's average, not more talented than a piano bar singer in a hotel lobby. When she sings at the piano it's not Kate Bush, it's not PJ Harvey during her "White chalk" tour, it's Vonda Sheppard, the ridiculous MOR piano singer in "Ally McBeal". I can't fucking stand her lies and lack of GENUINE humility. You don't need to love Madonna to hate on Gaga because there's plenty to hate in this fraud.
