Madonna's Bags and Style

I would like to take a moment to editorialize a little bit on Madonna, if I may. I live a couple of blocks from the singer’s ginormous Upper East Side compound, which I walk past often, and I still haven’t gotten a single glimpse of her. Not one, in the entire year I’ve been in the neighborhood! I’ve seen Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise, who live way down by Union Square, but no Madonna. Throw me a bone, Madge! Every time I tell someone where I live, they ask me if I’ve seen you, and I have to disappoint them. Just give me one peek! For the good of humanity, really.

Apparently if I had been walking by at the right time on Saturday, I would have seen both Madonna and her black croc Givenchy Antigona Satchel, heading out for the Kabbalah Center. I also would have seen the very Lagerfeldian Chanel Fingerless Leather Gloves that Madge is sporting in these pictures, which seem like an odd choice for a religious service. When you’ve given as much money to an organization as Madonna has to Kabbalah, though, I bet you can wear whatever you want when you drop by.

By now I am sure plenty of you have come across Louis Vuitton ads with Madonna in them. Frankly, I think Madonna is a fantastic choice for such an iconic brand. So, it really is no surprise to see her toting one of my favorite LV bags. Per usual, Madonna looks fierce as she carries her black Louis Vuitton Mahina XXL.

She was photographed as she left the Casa do Saber, a children’s charity in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I know that Madonna is heavily involved in charities and such, but I can’t help but wonder if there was a bit of an ulterior motive behind the trip. My speculation was confirmed with other rumors swirling around the fact that she met Jesus’ mother for the first time during this trip. Dare I say things could be getting serious between Madonna and her new man?

I fully support Madonna‘s post-divorce manhandling of Jesus Luz. I’ve never been through a divorce, but I have been through breakups, and if I had been rich enough to have an oiled-up Brazilian male model comfort me during the tough times, well, they might not have been quite as tough, you know? If he doesn’t speak English, well, even better. If I want to talk about my feelings, I have friends. People like Jesus Luz are not the types of people with which women have long conversations about their emotions. Well played, Madonna. Well played.

Another thing that I fully support is Madonna’s choice of handbags here. Well, sort of, anyway. It’s nice to see her come across these pages carrying anything at all, since it seems like we don’t see her with a lot of interesting handbags. Here, she’s got a Louis Vuitton Pouchette – which collection is what I’m not entirely sure of, so let me know in the comments if you can remember the name. She does ads for Vuitton, so it’s really no surprise that she should be seen in public wearing their product. Looks like they’re getting their money’s worth out of her!
