When Madonna Hit Miami

Finally, after all the rain and all the preparation, Madonna hit the stage. The performance was dazzling. With Madonna shining through it all. - Mark Goodman MTV

I sat in front of MTV the entire weekend when Madonna's Who's That Girl Tour hit Miami. I remember when the audio started for Causing a Commotion, it went dead...i thought it was my TV and after all the waiting, I was like, "Not Now!". Haha! Best performance of Causing a Commotion ever. xo

Papa Don't Preach

I Made Up My Mind

In the mid 80's, as her contemporaries ballooned and were drowning in their cemented public images, Madonna opted to crop her hair off, strip away the layered look and exhibited a sculpted physique that would later define that decade. Papa Don't Preach was that moment where Madonna showcased not only the strong vocals on the song but also her wonderful classic 50's Americana style in the accompanying video, directed by James Foley. While we got a little prior glimpse of the upcoming change of sound and look with Live to Tell, this was her real first major metamorphosis since her debut album, Madonna, in 1983.

Prior to Madonna, a star would create a public image and stick with it so the public would be able to identify them. Not so from this moment on. A chameleon by nature, it was innate with Madonna to change. For the others, then and now, it seems forced and expected.

Madonna Directs - Miu Miu Fall Winter 2010-2011 Ad Campaign

Madonna is the secret director of Miu Miu's a/w 2010 campaign film.

The campaign film for Miu Miu's autumn/winter 2010 collection has been doing the rounds for a couple of months now and we fell for it as soon as we saw it. It stars models Lindsey Wixson, Siri Tollerød, Ginta Lapina, and Daphne Groeneveld, all decked out in the lust-have embellished dresses that have caused such a stir paired with kitten heels, patent bags and matching eye shadow.

The girls laugh, play and throw shapes to some bass-heavy dance music backed by strobe lights. And it's just emerged where they got their moves from - Madonna was on set giving them tips.

Apparently Madonna rocked up onto the set of the Miu Miu campaign shoot to meet photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott and take them for dinner. But she got distracted and ended up directing the video instead.

Ginta Lapina told Love magazine, 'We were supposed to shoot a video, so Madonna said she wanted to direct it. They said she could do it but they weren't going to pay her and she started laughing. She put on her iPod and taught us moves and we shot the video for two hours.'

Love this performance. Always have. A glimmer of light in a dark moment. Remember everything about it, when it originally aired. Where I was, what I was doing, etc. Wish I didn't. ECT, sweetie! ECT!

Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child

I saw the new Tamra Davis documentary, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child at the Nuart theater in Los Angeles last night. It was fabulous from frame one.

It goes through the life of Basquiat via the lens and brain of friend, Tamra Davis. There are interviews with Erika Bell (one of the first to fly up on the screen), Maripol, Fab

5 Freddy, Glenn O'Brien, Kenny Scharf and a slew of others. Frequent Madonna references in the film, including photographs of Madonna and Basquiat together and many Maripol polaroids.

From Basquiat's relationship with his mother and father to Andy Warhol to his creative soul - it's a captivating documentary that takes the viewer through the long gone, funk hole glamorous, pre-gentrified New York City. The world many early fans romanticized and fell in love with. Archival footage of the seedy city and the artists it gave birth to. You really get a sense of the real world from which Madonna emerged from, a world that no longer exists. A must see for a real Madonna fan.

Great soundtrack by Beastie Boys Adam Horovitz, the filmmakers husband.
