Are there any secret jezebel societies holding secret conferences over #secret tags right now?

I thought that the Madonna ad would be from the same series as the Keith Richards, Mikael Gorbachev, and Coppolas ads--all shot by Annie Leibowitz with the classic LV logo. That would have been much cooler and would have played up Madge as an icon rather than as a "trendsetter" (which she arguably isn't anymore).

The Madonna ad is like a single cell from a very bad French arthouse movie.

Madonna:

You are undeniably very fit and it's obvious you work hard for it. Good for you. You have iconic status, scads of money, and lots of personal trainers who make sure your muscles are always toned and shapely. Good for you.

But it's time you rediscovered an old friend, Madge. Don't let the glitz and glory of your gaudy glammy lifestyle erase the memories of someone who has loved you for a long, long time. Someone who needs you. Someone who wants you. Someone who would like to spend time with you.

This someone is called pants, Madonna. Pants. They miss you. Isn't your crotch cold? Can't you hear the pants calling for you? I'm sure you can get lots of them. You can afford it and you'd be able to find a great many that would fit you.

Pants, Madonna.

Experience them again...for the first time.

What to get the snob who has everything? Why, an Armani peen! "To attain such exceptional smoothness, botox is used initially before the final polish is imparted by hand." A one of a kind gift, indeed. Speedo sold separately.

This Christmas I will be giving all my family and friends the blue Bic Medium Ballpoint Pen. What will make that pen so much nicer to hold and makes them so personal, is the grease from their doritos, sweat from their fingers and the germs from their office keyboard.

Also, those bags are straight up ugly, and I usually like LV. Ick.

@hortense: She had several pants phases:

Wide-legged menswear-inspired pants circa Vogue and Express yourself
Sequined matador pants
Jeans with studded belts from the cowgirl phase
I'm pretty sure there were some brightly colored pants in flowy material during her postpartum earth-mother days

I would accept any of these, because tights are not pants.

@jigglyball: Hell, I would even take a skirt. I personally don't wear pants (except jeans on the weekends) because I just think skirts look better and are more comfortable. ANYTHING that isn't a pair of booty shorts or a leotard, Madonna, anything.

@stacyinbean: Very true, I've worn a dress every day this week, because they're just more comfortable (and accommodating of my long ass legs).

A skirt would be totally acceptable. Then again, I'm not actually all that put off by her tights thing, because I feel like they're her performance gear. And over the years, the woman's performance wardrobe has included missile bras, over-sized blazers, saris, cowboy hats, period dress, lots and lots of henna, and so forth and so on.

For all I know, she puts on sweatpants and oversized t-shirts after every performance.

Oh for god's sake, Lela Rose, they are KIDS. I'm sorry if they're matchy-ness is not fashion forward enough for you.

@GoodBadNotEvil: Also, hi! Their mom still has a say in what they wear. And! They probably aren't matchy all the time; I'm sure she was considering how all their outfits would look photographed together FOR HISTORY!!!

Sorry. I also found that a little annoying, although I look forward to seeing how they evolve, too.

@GoodBadNotEvil: I cannot believe she of all designers would say something so stupid. Her stuff is super-girly and frilly. Not exactly Bush twin style either. They are also like ten and six, Lela. Aren't your kids that young too? And for the record, I believe the matchiness on election night went up to the parents too. They were all (rather weirdly) wearing red. Other than that, I can't really think of that many times, they've matched. In truth, I stopped like Lela Rose when she designed the clothes for the Bush twins for their father's inauguration.
