No. How many old whores do you actually know? ETA: Why do you only start threads that you never return to? And never post in other threads? ---

For reference [Here’s a picture of an old whore.](http://www.justsickshit.com/wp-content/gallery/crystal-meth-sick/crystal_meth_makeover.jpg) Nope, Madonna doesn’t look anything like an old whore. ---

Madonna is at the point where she looks ridiculous trying to deny the fact that she’s aging. Not as bad as say, Dolly Parton, but definitely too old to be dressing like a stripper and trying to convince people she’s still hot. ---

The funny thing is, I’ve never thought Madonna was particularly good-looking, but she looks great in the OP’s link. Should have picked a better (i.e. worse) photo, of which there are many. ---

She tautologically looks exactly like at least one old whore. ---

She’s, what, in her 50s now? She looks a lot better than most people in their 50s that I see on a daily basis. Good for her; why not? ---

I used to fancy her quite a bit, but I saw a picture of her upper arm and shoulder(along with the rest of her of course) and overdoing it at the gym made the mass of small muscles a rather revolting sight. And the teen love songs seem a bit silly now. ---

Well, an old whore is often a madam. And it’s only a short step from madonna to madam. ---

Rawr, this woman is richer than most people and she got there by letting us ogle her body. Down with this sort of thing! (I don’t really understand why it’s so important that famous people get vilified as sluts and whores when they haven’t engaged in prostitution as it’s commonly understood to be. What exactly did she do to deserve being called a whore? Is it because she sings some raunchy songs? Because she defies traditional judeo-christian beliefs about appropriate behavior?) ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > Is this that slut-shaming I’ve heard so much about? Not quite. It’s more shaming of someone for dressing like she’s younger than she appears. It’s closer to making fun of someone over 30 for wearing short shorts. ---

How do you know if you’re dressing too young? It’s sort of subjective. ---
