lourdes looks so pretty here! she and her mother are so cute. =)

How old is Madonna now? Is it really just Pilates or does she do other things too, like HGH?

Everyone looks hot. Except Ditta, she looks super sad and pathetic.

While Pilates does good for a body - I doubt that is all she "does" to look that fresh. There are a lot of women at the gym I work for that would like to believe that Pilates will do that for them - they go every day, sometimes twice.

I think Dita always looks fabulous. She's got that old Hollywood glamour thing going on. Fierce.

Anyone know what these galas cost vs what they actually raise for the charities?

Let me just say that I teach pilates 3x a week and do the reformer another 3, and the only way to look like that is to also eat super clean. Which is why I also do spin because I've never met a doughnut I didn't like. You can pilates till your brains out and still look the same if you eat like crap.

And if they really wanted to raise the most money they would have ordered chicken wings and given the money for catering to the little people. What, Madonna and Gwenyth are too good for wing stop?

are all my hags high or something? (higher than usual i mean.) lourdes does not look fine…she needs those brows shaved off before she ever leaves the house again! madonna is committing child abuse by letting her leave her house like that…

Oh, no, I did not forget the catepillar brows.

Lourdes is like 12, so I give her a pass on the brows, because you never know what is going to grow back, and how your face will grow. Well except the middle, she should get that waxed, but I blame Madonna.

I also blame Madonna for dressing Lourdes like Wednesday Adams. Not that it isn't a cool look, but look at that pose and that smile. Lourdes is no Wednesday.

i dunno…i'm not digging the outfit either. where's the lingerie and the boy-toy belt buckle on lourdes? where's the spiky hair and druggy, dazed look? being 12 is no excuse not to live up to your family legacy of sluttiness…

The fit on the dress is def. off, but I think it would look good on say, Christina Ricci. Madge seems to favor the convent-chic look.

i think Lourdes has had her unibrow divided- there were some before and after close-ups of her on PH the other day…it is her mustache that needs working on.
You are right to blame Madonna- why should she have all the slutty fun in her youth? selfish. she can stop the runaway train that will be future-Lourdes. I take comfort in that.

by can, I mean, cannot.

It's opposite day.

I think Madonna went to her surgeon and asked to look like a cross between herself and Nigella Lawson. I don't see it so much in these pics, but in others, she has this whole Nigellian warmly sexy thing going on.

PS: Filename "gucmadge"? Hilarious.

i must be missing it because I just do not get the, warm, feeling from her?

Well I wouldn't call it genuine warmth.

And what sort of dance class would you do with Gwyneth? I have this idea she'd be into eurhythmy, drifting around in a leotard, babbling about "being the poem".

i wonder if now that gwyneth and madonna live in england if they finally speak in an american accent?

Madonna has some sort of crazy work out regimen and only eats things that don't cast a shadow. She's also likely dipping in the plastic surgeon pool. It's sort of sad that she puts such an emphasis on her looks, meanwhile she lets her daughter look like Frida Kahlo.

As far as the dress not fitting properly, she is likely just in that awkward stage that kids her age go through.

Dita has that classic 50s look but her dress is too short.

Blah: I smell what you're steppin in, but didn't Madge just buy a whole goshdurn house to make into a gym? Couldn't she, you know, pay someone to tailor that dress?

That's what I'm saying. At some point, you have to surrender to Twinkies. Get over yourself. Just go to Bally's like everyone else and do Tae-bo or something.

Lourdes is a pretty girl. Not a teenager yet, and definitely not trying to emulate grownups. She's not being pushed into adulthood and still retains her innocence and the awkwardness that goes with it by leaving her temporary "imperfections" alone. She looks happy. Dita continues to excel at portraying the retro-glamour-fetish thing. She's not everyone's idea of beauty, and she derives a lot of her style from the 40s and 50s ideals, but she's definitely made that look her own. I like it.

It is my contention that if you eat crap like twinkies, you will be so chalk full of preservatives, you'll survive with the cockroaches. Madonna and Gwenny will be begging us for twinkies then.

I don't like Madonna at all but I admire her for not forcing her daughter to get her brows waxed, girls Lourdes' age shouldn't worry about how they look.

You know, normally I'm against waxing for kids, but in this case I'll make an exception. Someone needs to stop that facial hair before it takes over the world.

I don't know, I get awfully pious about Lourdes and her facial hair: she is very, very young; and also not a celebrity, or a model or an actress, so why does she need to present herself as if she were? She's a pretty girl, related to a celebrity, but I don't think this means she has to start conforming to popular standards of how women should present themselves.

madonna is a pompous weirdo, but i respect the fact she's allowing her daughter to remain a girl.

give it another 4 years and madonna will be locking her in a basement to prevent competition.
