Madonna is in another Louis Vuitton campaign. A leaked photo from the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection shows a highly airbrushed Madonna leaning back in a sofa looking uncomfortable. There’s so much airbrushing here that they could have saved some money and just drawn this from scratch. She doesn’t even look real. She looks like one of those dolls you buy at Wal-Mart to play dress up with and then hide deep within your closet when your friends come over for beer pong.
Where’s the realism? The bulging veins, the sunken eyes, the pointed elbows, the muscular, sinewy arms, the inexplicable discomfort you get in the pit of your stomach when you look at her? None of those things are here. I don’t even know who she is anymore.
