Madonna Morphs into Iggy Pop

The U.K.’s Daily Mail has a photo of Madonna that really must be seen to be believed. It’s hard to know what to feel about Madge’s muscle-y arms, in all their ropy glory. Scared? Sad? Personally inadequate? Slightly ashamed for pointing and staring at a fellow woman’s unconventional body? All of the above, I guess.

Perhaps she’s preparing for the lead role in a gender-bending biopic about Iggy Pop ?
