Doing aerobics in front of dozens of cameras while hot lights beat down on us, making our already over-productive sweat glands work even harder, is up there on the torture list for us. The only thing that would make it worse is if said aerobics class is being taught by Madonna, the woman who cracks walnuts in her ropey biceps for sport and whose thighs make small children weep for days. Seriously, nothing would be more frightening than having Madonna bark orders at us as we flail hopelessly in our yoga pants and five-year-old Race For The Cure t-shirt.
Despite this visual, dozens of people leaped at the chance to work out with Madge at the grand opening of her Hard Candy gym last night Mexico; it looks like the only prerequisites were that they wear black and/or knee socks and/or spent half their childhood vogueing in front of their bedroom mirror. The Mexico City location is the first of ten gyms Madonna plans to open. We like the name Hard Candy okay, but maybe she could mix it up for future locations. “Bodies of Evidence.” “Desperately Seeking Six-Packs.” Just our two cents.
