IMO, Madonna was at her hottest as a brunette in the “Like a Prayer” video. She has a great body for 50, but a butter face. ---

I’d take a look as she approached, but then when she got close enough…[not so much.](http://dailytri.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/madonna.jpg) ---

I’ve always thought she was good-looking, but never _hot_. I’d have sex with her if the opportunity arose, but she’s not someone I’d ever fantasize about. That’s been the case all the way back to the '80s when I was a horny 14-year-old who’d fantasize over moderate breezes. Her personality is a major turn-off, but even without that she does little for me. Honestly, in the OP’s photo, the first thing I thought of was the Cat Lady from _A Clockwork Orange_. Sort of like that friend of your mother’s who seemed a little creepy because she was always trying to fit in with the younger crowd. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Not. Never has been, never will be. I wouldn’t fuck her with _your_ dick. Oh, I’d fuck her with _your_ dick, but only nailed to the end of a ten foot pole. Getting away from **silenus** ’ genitalia, I don’t find her at all hot, and in general I’d have to agree with **kunilou** ’s assessment of her; just kind of pathetic and somewhat nasty, and almost completely lacking in any talent except relentless self-promotion. She’s the sort of woman you’d go out on a date with and be bored to death because she’d only talk about herself.

I’m another one who’s never found her hot. The only time I thought she even apprached attractiveness was in the _Material Girl_ video (channeling Marilyn Monroe). And I agree with others who say she has an off-putting personality. She strikes me as exceedingly willful and self-absorbed. I’ve always felt that she probably doesn’t have one genuine friend in the whole world. ---

I think she used to be pretty hot, but lately she looks like she’s been used up. Too much working out and not enough moisturizer, IMHO. That’s saying a lot, because I love to work out! The pic of her posted earlier where she looks pretty looked photoshopped all to hell.

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > And I agree with others who say she has an off-putting personality. She strikes me as exceedingly willful and self-absorbed. That and the fact she never was very interesting musically. Like **Stranger on a Train** said in his post, her real talent is relentless self-promotion and in that area, she’s a genius. It’s been 25 years since she burst on the scene and _we’re still talking about her_ (this thread being proof). Appearance-wise, I thought she looked cute when she was younger (and I agree that she looked better as a brunette). Now, not so much. However, in either instance, she not worth the trouble for the reasons stated. ---

In her \*Like A Virgin \*days, she was a little fleshier and really working the ‘lap dance attitude’, with the come hither looks and doing all of the time-honored ‘look at me, I’m sexy’ moves. But I never actually found her sexy. In her \*Sex Book \*days, she was a butterface. I recall one picture of her where her body looked better than I had ever seen it; she was sort of hanging by her hands from a pole or something over a body of water, and I thought her body was kickin’. But her hair was over her face, so I could live out the fantasy. Her face has always seemed very hard and masculine to me, and therefore a turnoff. These days, things haven’t improved. She’s just too sinewy, plus she still has that face which time has not treated gently. Not to mention her attitude and personality, which is a big fat zero. Also, she fucked Sandra Bernhard, which is like playing with toxic waste. So no, not hot and with rare exception, never was. ---

I’ll go with not. Problem is she really doesn’t have any type of “girlish” features. She’s thin but doesn’t have a figure. Muscular but not sculpted. And I know tanning is bad for you and “out” right now but pale just doesn’t do it for me. She 's just not very feminine.
