And, in Madonna's case, as an extension of whether or not she would be a fit mother. If one is going to take the idea of suitability and apply it to fashion and the celebrity-fashion marriage, then there are celebrities wearing far more 'outrageous' or 'unsuitable' outifts out there. But it's pointless to deem fashion suitable or unsuitable in the context of it trying to achieve something (in Madonna's case, a squeaky clean mummy image). Aubrey O'Day doesn't wear her outfits to be 'suitable' she wears them to shock, reveal, provoke. So I guess what I was trying to get at was the complete uselessness of the word 'suitable'.

BUT how can you without hypocrisy then make this foolish statement: " Is anything Aubrey O’Day has ever worn ever been suitable for any stage of any life anywhere in the world? Not at all." good for you to praise entertainers ‘who consistently forced people to rethink popular norms and notions by inhabiting another character in the name of artistic expression, boundary pushing and social exploration, and then note the hypocrisy of asking whether or not they have morals that befit a mother?
