Instagram... and reality

RECENT pictures of Madonna (above) promoting her new concert film on TV have underlined the sometimes stark difference between the heavily filtered images she regularly posts on Instagram and the reality of being a 63-year-old woman with bleached blonde hair. No one could blame her — or any woman — for wanting to look her best. Madonna’s problem is that she seems to want to look like she did in her 30s, which just isn’t possible. In fact, the more she tries, the worse she looks — to the point of seeming almost ghoulish. It’s such a shame, because this is a woman who has achieved so much. Why does she lack the confidence to show the world who she really is?
