Madonna refuses to be 50 — Do you accept your age?

There’s something to be said for not allowing your age to slow you down. After all, whether you’ve been alive for 60 years, but still feel like a 30-year-old, you should act the way you feel. However, Madonna is taking things a step further — for her 50th birthday celebration, her guests are under strict directions to not mention the number 50 in any way, shape, or style, considering the singer believes her “spiritual age” to be 36.

The high priests of Kabbalah have calculated Madge’s spiritual age to be 14 years younger than her actual age by channeling her energy. And, truth be told, she certainly has the energy and, dare I say, the aura of someone much younger. So whether she feels like she’s 36, that’s great. But, I have a problem that refusal to acknowledge 50.

By doing that, Madonna is sending a notice to women everywhere that it’s not

acceptable to turn 50, when we know that’s far from the truth, particularly these days. Instead of being a fitness inspiration to women hitting the big 5-0, Madonna is running absent from it, yet still marking it with a big celebration.

What about you? Do you think Madonna should embrace 50 as fabulous, or would you follow her lead and go with the youngest age you can get absent with?
