'Twas The Most Famous Belly Button in the World.


Madonna on her Belly Button - Spin Magazine 1985

Oh, that beautiful Italian puttana and her fuck me belly.

Remember how infamous Madonna's belly button was? I mean seriously, it had a life of its own. From 1983 to 1985 Madonna's belly button was on constant display. From the first album's inner sleeve to the Borderline and Lucky Star videos, Madonna was our little peek-a-boo Italian whore. Whip me up a plate of puttanesca...

The Belly Button was properly immortalized by Ken Regan for her first ever People Magazine cover in March of 1985. I remember seeing that picture for the very first time and being mesmerized. I still am. Look at it. All the wanna-bes had to have was a pair of scissors and boy did they - shirts were being shredded from coast to coast. Everyone was exhibiting their belly buttons. It's all she and the media spoke about! Back in the day it was considered lewd and vulgar. Magnifico!

Sex Cunt - She has everything a star should have.

Oh, they can all try and they do. Some harder and more blatantly than others - most half her age. Her potency is so strong that they've all been wannabe's ever since Madonna's star was born. She busted the doors down and laid the template in which they all try and do byte her style. No one can ever get it right because they're missing that one key ingredient - Her Soul.

By will and as a gift, She delivers it to us with every form of expression. With her voice, from the moment it hit the microphone in her early Emmy recordings, to her dance, her mind, her face, her wit, her carriage, her seductiveness, her honesty, her flirtatiousness, her movement, her sex.

Add to that her incredible body of work, her pieces of art. Each one different from the other. More often than not delivered with a parable. It's been a 28 year old Passion Play being performed before the worlds eyes, crucifixion and all. Everything has always been met with adversary, not accolades - even from those that call themselves fans. Rightfully so, she's always dared the public to hate her.

I really can go on forever but you all know it, as does the world - which is why she's always been such a threat and an inspiration - all in the same breath. So much, in fact, that Webster's Dictionary officially recognized and added the word in May of 1991.
