And I am marveling over the "0 foundation used on Madonna's skin" and the 24 inch waist. Damn! I want what she's having!

Yeah, what she's having is hundreds of thousands of dollars of "maintenance." As in personal trainers, nutritionists, skin care specialists, personal aestheticians, nannys, as-needed vacations, basically a life of leisure and every creature comfort and personal care a person could ever need or want.
I'd need "0 foundation" and have a 24 inch waist if I had her life too! |

I think "0" probably refers to her extremely fair skin color. In Bobbi Brown, I'm a 2.5, and I'm pretty fair. Madonna must be alabaster! |
