ok, so i saw this on-line this morning...within moments of logging on......and it has really made my day....the image of madonna as a martha-wannabe....playing country gentleman farmer's wife at her own english version of les hameaux.....maybe she thought the marie antoinette milkmaid costume needed updating.....and though this appears to be a crafted-for-magazine photo.....i have no doubts as to madonna's sincerity in reinventing herself yet again....now that she has 2 children to raise, and a british spouse who probably values just the image we see on this screen.......she has all the resources it takes to make that image more reality than fantasy........and while i am not necessarily a fan of her music.........she has driven her own bus, so to speak.....and i must give her credit for being nobody's pawn........
