music can be such a revelation... this is my religion

High Holy Day Alert: Our Lady of Perpetual Indulgent Perfection today reaches the half-century mark of her worldly existence. I honor the woman who put the mad in madartista with some favorite pics and text exchanges with a long time friend and my mom.


el madartista: Life is a mystery... With love, honor & respect on this Holy Day of Obligation: Happy 50th, Madonna

Rhonda: For the love of Pete*! I'm not celebrating that crazy woman's birthday! :)

m: You mock my religion!

R: I mock - I scorn - I laugh out loud!!!

m: Your intolerance is appalling and hurtful, not to mention blasphemous!

R: What happens when she gets divorced? Fasting and gnashing of the teeth? Wailing in the streets?

m: Adherents only concern ourselves with her divine nature, not the earthly fallible side. Fasting, gnashing & wailing is reserved for her passing (and the release of "Hard Candy").

R: Hah! Yeah well - Like A Virgin To You.

m: See, you get it! Amen.

* Note: No, she's not referring to Little Lord Wentz.

Mom: Yesterday was a holy day of obligation. Did you go to mass?

m: Really? For Madonna?

Mom: Shame on you! If u were here i would spank u, that is sacrilegious. Ur never to old to spank.

m: What? It was the Assumption, right? That's Madonna.
