"Guys, tomorrow is #MadonnaDay and I&amp;#x27;m prepping. The Queen of Pop will turn 56, and there&amp;#x27;s no time like a birthday to celebrate what someone&amp;#x27;s done for fashion trends the world over. There&amp;#x27;s the cone bra, sure, but also flouncy lace skirts, tied-up headbands, and armful of bangles. Before we got into the plaid miniskirts and wristlets of our later years, there were a whole lot of Madonna-inspired moments haunting many an elementary-school hallway. #1. Stacked bangles and neon. Circa first grade, I doubt I knew exactly who Madonna was, but my closet definitely did. Lots and lots of bangles and brights? All about it. #2. Lace and pearls. Madonna&amp;#x27;s schtick is firmly rooted in the sex-appeal thing, and she totally paved the way for future pop-tart ladies like Britney and Cristina. The fluffy slip, lace gloves, and ropes of pearls constituted many a Halloween costume if you remember. #3. Floppy headbands and parachute pants. With pal Rosanna Arquette, looks like this segued us right into the &amp;#x27;90s. Younger me tied a lot of scarves into wide headbands, and those pants were enough to tempt us out of girly skirts and dresses. Can you remember copying some of these looks when you were younger?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
