As the Manolo said at the time, it was…

Zoolander was the Documentary

Manolo says, the life of the male model, it is nothing but glamour and blue steel… But, sometimes, all of the adulation, all of the women throwing themselves at you, it gets you down… And you think to yourself, “maybe I should have listened to my Uncle Morty, and become the actuary.”

Madonna Enters the Mae West Late Career Phase

Manolo says, when one attempts to trade upon one’s reputation for sex appeal well after the sell by date. By which the Manolo means, increasingly comic and grotesque displays of inappropriateness. To be clear, it is not the aging itself that is to be deplored, as aging is the natural consequence of life, but rather the unseemly chasing after of lost youth that causes us to avert our eyes from the spectacle.
