Which swings it back to the Marilyn Manson thing. Provocation for the sake of provocation is fine and all, but it's still a gimmick. A schtick. It gets old fast.
The media portrays her as this "master of reinvention"... constantly changing up styles and all that. Fuck that. Emperor's new clothes. A different shade of eyeliner and a new hair-do and all of a sudden she's "on to that next wave." That's kack. Pure and simple. It's the fashion industry.
Which brings me to yet another point I feel I've only hinted at in previous posts... how EVERYTHING has been fucking swallowed up by the fashion industry these days.

THE MOTHERFUCKING FASHION INDUSTRY.
Madonna's just a symptom.
Revolution is the only cure.
