Party girl, glamorous movie star, or conservative mother of two? Madonna’s image has change more times than we can count. Throughout her long career, she has managed to stay ahead of everyone else and set new trends every step of the way.
When she first started out as a club singer, she was wearing funky lace dresses. Black rubber bracelets, and lots of necklaces. By 1985, she was so popular that many young girls were copying her look. The news media began to call these girls “Madonna Wannabes,” or girls who “ want to be” like Madonna.
In 1987, the singer began her “Who’s that Girl?” would tour. The new album and music videos showed a radical transformation for the former party girl. She cut her long hair and dying it blond, as she took on a more classic look.
Madonna continued to change her image as she began to appear in movies. For the film Dick Tracy in 1990, she became a glamorous blond movie star. In 1995, she
|
even changed the color of her yes to Brown for the film Evita.
After the birth of her first child, Lourdes, in 1996, Madonna had another makeover, taking on the new image of a mother. Then Madonna married British film director Guy Richie and had her second child, Rocco, in 2000. During her “Drowned World” tour, her husband and children traveled with her, and the changes in Madonna’s lifestyle, as well as her appearance, became clear to everyone. She no longer went to parties after concerts but went straight back to her hotel to spend time with her children. Gone was the wild girl of her early career. She was now someone who placed family first. She once said, “Love is more important than fame, money, and being with beautiful people.”
After more than twenty years of singing and acting, Madonna is still one of the world’s most popular stars. Her fans are always amazed at how she can make so many changes and never go out of style.

I just returned from an exciting tour of Kenya. It was the trip of lifetime-there was so much to see!
My tour group spend the first two days at Masai Mara, driving around to see animals in their natural environment. We got close to elephants, cheetahs, and Zebras, and we took some excellent photographs! On the third day, we went to Lake Naivasha. We stayed in little huts near the lake, where we could see local birds and hippos. I was surprised to find out that hippos kill more people tahtn any other animal. That night we did some stargazing. The night was clear and perfect – I’ve never seen so many stars!
The nest morning, we visited Lake Nakuru, where we saw a rare blac rhino and hundreds of pink flamingos. That night, we camped in a place where we heard lions walking around near our campsite! Luckily, we never saw them, but we did not sleep very well. On day five, we took a trip to Thomson’s Falls. It was hard to climb to the top, but it was worth the effort – the enormous waterfalls were beautiful. We had a nice picnic lunch by the water.
The next day, we went to Mount Kenya, where we visited a Masai village. That night, we tried to do some traditional Masai dancing, and believe me, we looked very funny! We spent the seventh day hiking on Mount Kenya, and afterwards we made a trip to the local Kikuyo school. We talked to the students and teachers there and learned about their projects. Then we ate irio together, a traditional Kikuyo dish.
