Exercise junkie: Madonna's body shows signs of strain

**Lily** · June 29th, 2007, 07:09 AM

I just threw up a lot.

The idea that we have to have zero body fat is ridiculous. And it looks disgusting.

I think she looked her absolute best during her ray of light era. Soft and feminine but still really fit.

She also glowed in this 98 Vanity Fair Cover with Lourdes.

She's been looking horrid for awhile now. There is nothing soft about her body. She just seems hard, like as if one was to hug her it would be like embracing a bunch of chilled metal piping and electrical wiring.

I fully confess, I loved the soft more voluptuous early 80's Madonna body. Then I also liked the tighter firmer Erotica era body. Now, there just seems nothing attractive about her in my opinion. Her face needs a bit of fat to fill it out and she needs a few layers of flesh over her body to look human.

Absolutely. She wasn't skinny, she wasn't fat, she wasn't ropy, she wasn't harsh. She looked beautiful.

ITA...I used to adore her in the 80's. This body now though and the whole over muscled look is just gross.

I loved her in the 80's but honestly she's NEVER been much to look at.

^She can photograph well and she has a sense of exhibitionism that makes for good photos and videos. But she hasn't been worth looking at since 1999.

Her best body came around this time -

YouTube - Madonna - Open Your Heart
YouTube - Madona - Papa Don'T Preach

Her body was FABULOUS

^It's funny in the Papa Don't Preach video when her boob pops out of her bustier for a second.

This is going to sound bizarre , but I always thought Madonna had the best set of breasts. I thought they were perfect.

**sweetness** · June 29th, 2007, 10:21 AM

When Borderline, Lucky Star, and Like a Virgin came out I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

She was so much sexier with some softness to her body and face. Now she looks like a hag. And it's not b/c of her age.

Okay, not a huge Madonna fan, maybe back when she first started I was. That pic of the back of her elbow/arm, just grossed me out.

There is nothing wrong with working out to be healthy and in shape, BUT, this is taking it to the extreme IMHO and its not very attractive to say the least.

I'm not sure but I think she may have had implants. In 1985 my brother had the issues of Playboy and Penthouse with her in them, and she had really small breasts then.

Wow - really? Then she might just have the best set of implants I have ever seen.
