Madonna Has Zero Body Fat

I watched her halftime show and was not a fan of the hat or her hair. It was a relief when the hat came off. Even though there's now a thing called hairography I'm still not a fan of extensions.

I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.

I was twelve years old when Like a Prayer came out. Madonna had a big Pepsi endorsement then, and Pepsi including the song in their commercials. My dad used to pick me up from hebrew school twice a week, and I remember talking with him about Pepsi yanking their contract with Madonna because of her Like a Prayer video, because she kissed a black Jesus on the lips. At least that's what I understood as a Jewish 12 year-old girl. Now that I've looked it up, the guy is supposed to be a saint.

While I was able to recognize that french kissing was inappropriate in any religious setting, I sided with Madonna at the time. It was clear to me even then that she was doing it to be controversial, that that's what she was all about.

You know what I was thinking while watching that halftime show?

1. If you looked solely at the choreography and costumes, you could have picked up this show and placed it in 1989 and it'd have worked just fine. Like ballet flats, it's nice to see concepts cross decades. (You'll note Madonna wears black ballet flats in the Like a Prayer video.)

2. Madonna didn't lie. She said in interviews leading up to the Superbowl that there would be no wardrobe malfunctions and there weren't any. In fact, if you looked at what she was wearing, it provided a lot more coverage than the Madonna costumes of yore. Gone are the weird cone boobs. For the Superbowl, she was practically wearing a dress that'd be appropriate in a church. Madonna's dancing is a little provocative , but her outfits certainly weren't.
