Dazed & Confused: An Issue of ReInvention














Dazed & Confused is so amazing - such a great publicity piece Madonna did for her brilliant Hard Candy album. There's a lot more that we could have seen but the ONLY thing truly missing from this magazine is the Keith Haring/Vivienne Westwood Witches Collection Devil Skirt!!! Would love to have seen that photographed porperly as these others were. Can't wait for the show that Madonna has been wanting to put together of her clothes for a museum exhibition.

Looking full figured, fabulous and sexy as ever, Madonna stepped out in New York yesterday wearing one of my favorites - this Roberto Cavalli floral dress worn here earlier in 2008.


MADONNA IS GORGEOUS!!!!! THAT'S IT! - Alessandro.

Solid as a Rock



Shot in 2008, these outtakes from Vanity Fair show that at 50, Madonna exhibits an extraordinary physique. Not airbrushed, she is in optimum form and as beautiful as ever. I prefer these un-retouched photos. Absolutely amazing.

Filth and Wisdom Interview - Berlin 2008


I thoroughly enjoyed Madonna's 2008 directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom. I wrote a little bit on the film in January HERE.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to her second film W.E. and my Madonna internet buddy, Suedehead, brought to my attention this great interview of her discussing the process of writing and creating Filth and Wisdom while promoting it in Berlin. So intelligent, creative, beautiful, inspiring, and fabulous on every level. Enjoy.

Hard Candy Teaser Commercial and Album Art



I will never forget when the Hard Candy promo commercial hit. I don't know where to start on the brilliance. It was all flashback 80's. So you're sitting there with your remote control and you see the Jane Fonda shyt, then pass the 1-900-FUCK-ME ads but then it rewinds, slows and pauses on the VCR. Genius.


Steady there, roll it up...

I also know and heard the fans complaints on the album cover (What's new, Buenos Aires?). To me, another stroke of genius. You know when the Madonna Forum fans hate it, its an artistic achievement because - well, just because. I'll always remember riding my bike on Hollywood Blvd. and there was this group waiting at the bus stop and behind them were the album ads on the bench. They were all looking at it with pure disgust. I laughed. That was all I needed to know it was perfect. Job well done, sweetie.

In an era of downloading and Album Cover Art going completely unnoticed, Madonna always makes sure that hers will be acknowledged by everyone...across the globe.

The Punk Pop Fuck You Whore: Still vulgar and, above all, still fantastic - 25 years in.
