Madonna Remixes The Global Village

Madonna is no stranger to remixing (read: stealing) other people’s great ideas. Think: Vogue-ing, Marlene Deitrich, Mrs. Robinson, Kabbalah, Bob Fosse, British accents…you get the point. And while we are not mad at her artistic interpretations of other people’s personas, style and art forms, it gets a bit more tricky when it comes to race, culture and human lives. Now that the Material Girl (that is 50 year-old Material Woman) is trying to adopt another African baby and open a school in The Republic of Malawi (where she adopted her son David), we questions her motives about creating her own Global Village and promoting her new documentary “I Am Because We Are”. All good stuff, but Madge let’s be careful when there are children involved. Or maybe she’s just doing her own thing, her own way. Josephine Baker + Audrey Hepburn + Benetton + Brangelina + Oprah Winfrey = Madonna.
