11th June 2012 Madonna's Right Breast ...

In one of her recent concerts in Istanbul, Turkey, Madonna pulled out her right breast in the middle of a song 'Human Nature' for all to see. The public was not limited to the audience in the concert either, as the show was recorded live & shown in many countries. As part of her MDNA tour, she will be performing in Palau Sant Jordi of Barcelona on the days 20 and 21 of this month. Just in case she does the same trick, I have no plan attending

.
Call me naive, many questions emerged to which I can't find a single answer for:

* For what motive a famous and well established singer, deemed by many as a good one too, should feel the need to exhibit her breast?

* Does it add meaning or value to the song? Or merely demonstrating that she was not wearing falsies?

* Was it to prove her sex appeal or was it sheer desperation for more attention & media cover?

* The biggest question is: Did she really need that exhibition to enhance her status?

* And ... and ... Maybe it's just temporary insanity???

 

Instead of showing her breast, which is nothing worth boasting about, I really think she ought to wear long sleeves to cover up those very unfeminine arms with knobby muscles; those are anything but sexy.

11th June 2012 The Many Marilyn Imitators ...

The media call them imitators, those actresses, singers, showgirls, models and whoever dedicate time and effort to cultivate similar aspects and characteristics of the original & beloved Marilyn Monroe. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of her death, an opera 'Waiting For Miss Monroe' had it's worldwide première last Saturday in the Opera House of Amsterdam, Holland. In the roll of Marilyn is the American soprano Laura Aikin, who says it tells the life of the unforgettable Diva, fascinating and moving, away from any kind of frivolity.

It has always been said that 'Imitation is the highest form of flattery'. She must have been imitated by millions young women of her day, not just by other actress and entertainers, but women in the streets, totally conquered by her unique beauty and especially her most alluring sexiness yet retained pure and near child-like innocence. Her admirers are not just men, but most other women, whether they care to admit it or not.

The latest to join the imitators is Lady Gaga (top left) Lindsay lohan (right. Wrong hairdo!)

Second row: Michelle Williams, Scarlette Johansson, Melanie Olivares & Mira Sorvino.

There have been literally hundreds more over the half century, famous known names as well as unknown public; impossible to name them all.

 

I am a dedicated and appreciative fan of Marilyn. I have sought out all (I think) old films to watch, some of them more than a few times). Unlike what many people think, she was a serious actress, and in my opinion a very good one; highly intelligent, hard working and utterly devoted to her craft. In a way she was also her own imitator - she created Marilyn, and had spent her entire adult life studying, imitating the character of her preconception how Marilyn would think, speak, act or react to others and the varied circumstances she found herself in. We all know the result, Norma Jeane imitates Marilyn most successfully to have MM become an unforgettable legend.

She would surely have enjoyed seeing Marilyn in an opera, and would have considered it a great personal achievement.
