Maripol - Madonna photographed inside New York City’s Danceteria in 1983.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Madonna photographed inside New York City’s Danceteria in 1983.

“The picture is talking in a way. It’s saying ‘Look who I am. I’m not famous but I’m going to be.’ She didn’t drink much but she liked her Martini. I don’t think she smoked.Maybe I gave her the cigarette for attitude. I never saw Madonna smoking cigarettes as much as other people. She never did coke. That’s why she was Madonna, why she became as big as she did: because she was always in control.” – Maripol

Auction: Early Madonna Demo Cassette Recording went for $6,400.00 !!!



…Another unique item is a demo tape an unknown performer named Madonna made in 1979 to send to record companies in an attempt to get a recording contract. Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, it’s just Madonna, her music unadorned by post-production magic and elaborate orchestration. The songs on the tape include “All My Love,” “Hear Me” (a song that evolved into “Shine a Light”), “Simon Says” (which became the familiar “Love Express”) and “Little Lost Boy.”

estimate was $1,000.00 - $2,000.00 and sold for $6,400.00.

everything

Beautiful Butch Bytch.

Early 1994

Borderline - When 'The Voice' merged with 'The Face'.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She had already bewitched me with 'the voice'. Then one day about 6 months in and a few magazine clippings later, while getting ready for school, I heard Borderline playing on MTV - I had been waiting forever. No longer was it just that voice from the heavens above - now I saw her in motion and it couldn't have been any more glorious.

...Behind the Music didn't do their research, Borderline was shot in Los Angeles but nevertheless..."I knew we were going to have a great video, all I had to do was shoot her face."

The Lion's Bride - Gloria Swanson and Madonna

Cecil B. DeMille's Male & Female (1919) and Mary Lambert's Like a Virgin (1984)










~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm fascinated by both Swanson and Madonna and in my bizarre head I've always seen them as kindred. They both hang in the same room.

Oh Father

How and why do they compare this hideous sexless Joanne 'Lady Gaga' to the magnificent sexually Potent Madonna?


^Madonna - Spin Magazine 1985

I've had enough of these awful comparisons. I must speak.

Before we even saw Madonna, she was sex. A song beckoning people to the dance floor, Everybody and even Holiday with all her oooh yeah's sounded like a Dirty Blue Movie. Madonna's voice, energy, face, body, movement - all sex.

It's appalling to even compare the two.

Sorry Joanne. You can spread your vagina lips from coast to coast, LA to Chicago, and it will still be the exact opposite of sex.

So all you Homo-Gagas can glow on, but I'll stick to my chick. cheers.

doodlewhore got them down - even the rare ones.

Happy Birthday Joe Mantegna!

Luciano Huck, businessman: "No wonder that Madonna is Madonna. The woman is really special. A nice, good woman and enjoy the truth of our country. Lucky us!"
He commented on the social project designed by the singer: "Your social project is consistent. Has focus, structure, mission and clear goals and results.

Angélica Ksyvickis, Brazilian TV hostess: "...I had the opportunity to discover a great star, a great person. I'm very impressed. Madonna (is) almost a Brazilian."
