Borderline

Thinking of Madonna on Oprah's show last week promoting her new children's book. She sat in the guest chair in a weird little Catholic girl's school uniform like a bad kid at the principal's office waiting to get yelled at. She was alternately surly and grandiose. Very odd. I think Oprah just plain scares her. At least someone does.

Also, the idea that she wrote this book because other girls were rather nasty to her daughter at the schoolyard playground in a very expensive private international school in London, is another of these odd moments where really really wealthy people demonstrate how completely unreal they are, how unreal their lives are and how out of touch they are with the rest of the world. I could give two shits about people being mean to Madonna's daughter at school honestly. Call me crazy, but I don't believe it matters all that much.
