Eileen I know it was my bad....that's what I get for posting when I am half asleep. sorry. M.....
ps Yep I gotta give that girl her props for taking good care of herself....we all think is is easier for the very rich....but I know lots of very rich fat people....it takes a lot to get yourself off the couch and take care of yourself...don't I know it. ....Mike struggles to get me to work out ...I have a million excuses.

Look at Elizabeth Taylor, super rich and never took care of herself, no wonder she had so many ailments...don't get me wrong...I love old Liz, in fact when I was younger they always told me I looked like her...then I progressed into looking like the Barefoot Contessa.....don't get me wrong Ina is a nice lady....but I liked it better when I looked like Liz.

Okay, I have to put my two cents' in about Madonna, too. I've never been a big fan. But what I observed last night is that she had a very healthy crew of 20-somethings on stage with her and they were all tasked with very gently moving her around! Don't get me wrong--I'm 54 and I couldn't do what she did. But those young men were lifting her and flipping her and moving her all over that stage! She had a LOT of help!!! Just sayin' . . .

I totally agree with you about the yong and strong 20 somethings flip her around, but that that was a little platform she was dancing on in "like a prayer" and there was nothing to hold on to....and she stooped and kneeled and got back up easily...all the while singing. ...and in 6 iinch heels....I couldn't even walk in 6 inch heels.

Tee hee! I'm 5'10". I've never even worn a pair of 6" heels! That would make me 6'4"!!!

I agree too that she was lifted around, but I do dancing with a very tall and strong man and he lifts me and twirls me around and let me just add that being manhandled sometimes is more difficult that doing it on your own. Holding your arms straight or crooked at just the right angle is very difficult and sometimes when I finish dancing, I am as sore as if I had done pushups. Dancing, no matter how you do it, is hard work.

Hi Marti and everyone....

Just popping in to say "hi" and to comment on Madanna.

I thought she did great for her age. I agree, if you watched closely she did have a lot of help. She wasn't moving nearly as fast as the others were. They held her up quite often too. Still overall, I sure couldn't do it!! I also agree that she has had much help cosmetically to look that great...oh to be rich!!
Liked her better in Evita!!!

HUGS...connie d
