'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!

Courtney Love's Madonna Obsession - 1996 Crazy Letter to Spin Magazine

We're all aware of Courtney Love's frightful Single White Female-like obsession with Madonna. This letter was written to SPIN Magazine in 1996 during the character assassination phase of the psychosis. Courtney's cool but she is one of those.

Check out this interesting commentary by Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren.

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.

Sleazy, trashy, cheap and completely out of your price range.
