Man, it looks like you did a really fine job on the cleanup, Chuck D. I can't wait to see more pictures. By the way, how does this box sound?

Nice cleanup Alf! And great score for forty bones! After the cleanup you just need a little "Madonna's Discolite Cooch Rub Shine" to really make it sparkle! Laugh Out Loud

You are correct Kit. Especially at the rate her box is degrading! Laugh Out Loud

charlesdickens - 2008-02-12 11:08

I don't know you guys for a 50 year old she looks pretty damn good if you ask me... As far as her "box" goes...??? Laugh Out Loud

kittmaster - 2008-02-12 11:18

If you followed her career and seen the junk that's been up in that box.......you'd soon agree......

This probably doesn't seem right me posting this, but what the hell...

Women trying their best to keep themselves looking young seems to be becoming a common trend all over the place nowadays. I'm sure I've heard some women on TV saying things like "50's the new 30". Roll Eyes At one time, turning 50 was viewed as 'going towards pensioner age', but now there's all this talk among celebrities about 'growing old gracefully'. I agree, Madonna does look good for 50 (being blonde helps) although could that blonde hair be dyed? Confused Big Grin

Opinions welcome... Smile
