1983 - Everybody Live at The Roxy and the KA-KA Shirt!


Well, this is just everything - of course. I would have died for this footage growing up - and I want the whole thing!!! They played this footage on RAI television in Italy. I know for sure that she also sang Physical Attraction but I don't know about the other songs. This is right at the time she shot the Gary Heery pics for the Madonna/Madonna album. That hair is so freshly bleached, just the right length and it's the exact jewelry.

It's all about that bruja gypsy dance and outfit. .:And Betty's favorite flats!:. Who else can just throw on old pieces of trash, flash an old movie star face, move in that motion and blaze brilliant street style? Only Madonna. They all try too hard these days.



Also take notice of The Ultimate Fabulousness. I was always obsessed with her KA-KA shirt that we first saw in the devoted completely to Madonna magazine for A Certain Sacrifice in 1985. The picture was from the rehearsal footage that Stephen Jon Lewicki shot in 1979. And 5 years later she wore the KA-KA shirt in this performance!


She also wore the KA-KA shirt at the Peppermint Lounge performance in 1983.
