So ... if I start a successful career as a writer of erotica (unlikely, given that I still blush writing kissing scenes,

but that's neither here nor there), I shouldn't bother trying to write children's literature as well? I think people would be quite surprised to learn how many writers there are out there who write "legitimate" fiction under one name and erotica under another. The only difference between Madonna and, say, Anne Rice (aside from literary talent) is that one used her real name (and associated fame) to sell her book, and the other wrote under a pseudonym (which wasn't revealed until well into her career).
I admit it, though: I'm one of those people who hisses at women wearing fur coats and contemplates splashing blood-red paint all over them. And yet I also wear leather and eat meat, so I suppose my hypocracy knows no bounds. However, I don't see any particular link between Madonna's decision to wear fur and her campaigning for human rights -- like I mentioned in another thread, we all have causes and passions. Hers, apparently, isn't animal rights (or at least chinchilla rights). That doesn't invalidate the things she
is passionate about, whatever they might be.
All that being said ... Her accent really
is atrocious.
