I just finished listening to an awesome podcast called Artholes on Spotify. It’s an art history podcast that dives deep into the lives of famous artists such as Picasso and Caravaggio. They’re incredibly in-depth and while they do focus on the art works, the host takes a keen interest in the personal lives and life history of the highlighted artist. It’s super fun and the host, Michael Anthony, is hilarious. He’s also not bad on the eyes! @artholes on instagram.
His episode on Frida Kahlo was PHENOMENAL! Wow! What a crazy wild ride did Frida have. She lived with a real passion and hunger for life. She possessed a curiosity that we should all aspire to. It’s what keeps life interesting. He also is very careful to not put her on a pedastal and showed her complicated human side and flaws. I had tears streaming down my face several times while listening to it. I highly recommend it. So here’s a link. ARTHOLES!
Forewarning, he provides tons of context so get ready for a history lesson of how Mexico came to be. He makes history fun and engaging to set up the story nicely.
Anyways, maybe I’m reaching here but it got me thinking about M and her relation to Frida. She’s named her as her muse and inspiration several times. While listening to her story, I couldn’t help but see parallels between the two of them. Frida was not someone to back away from controversy and speaking up for what she believed in. She loved sex with both men and women and her art was a direct reflection of her life at the current moment. He spoke about the her work ‘Two Fridas’ and how you can’t acknowledge the Frida you know now while ignoring the Frida of the past and vise versa because they’ve been there for each other the whole time…Well, he describes it much better then I do and in such a way that it reduced me to tears. You’ll have to listen for yourself.
What stuck out to me was that Frida actually had grills. She ruined her teeth with too much brandy and candy. In her latest Jimmy Kimmel appearance, M mentioned she wears grills because she has bad teeth. Now, we all know about the gap in her teeth that’s disappeared through the years but I don’t think she ever had bad teeth. Maybe that’s her way of becoming like her idol? Then I also think about M’s corsets and how they’re ubiquitous in her art. Frida had to wear corsets due to a horrible bus accident where a pole entered through her ribs and through her vagina. It plagued her her whole life but she painted her corsets and turned them into beautiful art works.
I also think about Martha Graham, her old dance teacher. Graham danced on stage well into her 70’s and often cast herself next to MUCH younger male suitors. Critics tore her apart for dancing next to younger men as her love interest calling her too old to do such a thing.
Does this sound familiar? 🙄
She stopped performing because the criticisms became too loud. She then started teaching at her studios, became depressed and started drinking heavily. She became an alcoholic but she recovered and choreographed until her death at 96. I have a feeling M won’t stop creating until the earth reclaims her. I was a pro dancer at one point in my life and I have a few stories from dance teachers who worked with M in her poor dancer days if you’d like to hear them. I’d be happy to share.
Again, I might be reaching but there were so many points in Fridas story that were ‘AHA! Thats where they comes from!’ moments. It was just a great listen all around so I’m sure you could enjoy them all. And if not for finding some M Easter eggs, then maybe just for a great listen. He hasn’t updated since July after a 5 hour episode on the history of France to lead up to the life of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. I CAN’T WAIT!

If there’s one thing about #Madonna you all pretend to have forgotten , that is that whatever she shows you, it is exactly the way she wants to be perceived . So stop with the narrative that she’s messy and this is a disgrace. 1/2
Yep. Like she said in her Q&A when they asked if she handpicks every remix on FEL. “Do you know who I am?”

This is really horrible. Now I understand your post much better.
Yeah you don’t have to like the music or the video but transphobia ain’t it. Funny people hate ‘wokeness’ but don’t know the history of the word or the fact that we’re talking about Madonna here. She been woke.

I fear voicing our opposition makes her dig her heels in more. 😂 Wish it were the opposite.

I’m usually the first to defend her but sheeeeesh! This video lmfaoooo! She is forever wild and I’ll always love her for that. Madonna is here to disrupt. And as much as I don’t like this video I can’t stop watching. It’s cheap and vulgar. I grew up with Puerto Rican and Dominican family so I see the nod. But l don’t think the styling overall works for her. Though, I do love the bleached brows and auburn hair. So fierce. She’s vulgar in this video but I’m not mad at her for it but I AM BORED! I just roll my eyes and say ‘That’s Madonna.’ Give us something else. This will all fall on deaf ears though. She doesn’t care and will continue to do what she wants. Which is a double edged sword with Madonna. Was that media hate this bad during the Erotica days? I was too young to witness it. It’s crazy to see the evolution looks wise. How is this the same woman?!

"Yo quiero un culo nuevo" honey you already got yourself one!
I’m not sure if she made a nod to her new ass or dumping her boyfriend. 😂
the song is ok. Not wild about it. Glad it’s pissing people off. But I’m not a fan of the trap sound. She should know by now that she’s not gonna be a smash hit following this rap trends. It’s everywhere. We need something fresh and new.
I am however loving the new look. Love the bleached brows with auburn hair. It’s wild.

She just went live on Instagram. She said she will definitely tour again and is excited to work on new music and is dying to. She’s busy rn making the movie tho. Some names for the movie she has:
”What It Feels Like For A Girl”
”Blonde Ambition” - Yes with the E!
”Nobody Knows Me”
”Live To Tell”
“My Name Is Madonna”
What It Feels Like For A Girl would be perfect. Just perfect. Her whole message has been a big fuck you to men in power.

The breath work part of the the show is such a dreadful bore. I’ve seen better at any random high school senior dance recital by some weird poser art kid trying to be ‘eDgY’. ? Couldn’t believe that someone with access to literally every great choreographer in the world, with the most incredible dancers in the world, would choose to put something like that out there.
That said, I’ve quite enjoyed the Madame X era. I knew she wouldn’t have ‘hits’ but I don’t care about that anymore. I’m just glad the woman is still around, creating art and pissing people off. Myself included.

I have a feeling a lot of fans will be eating their words trashing her before she's even started. I can understand how one could say she's a bad director. But this isn't W.E. or that first go round with that guy from Gorgol Bordello. This is her life story. A whole different ball game. I wonder how much of her life they'll be able to capture.
When do you think they'll start filming?

Famous people are not better than the others. They're just famous.
I’ve never read a truer statement. A lot of these ‘stars’ nowadays are just very well connected. Hollywood is full of nepotism.
if you have 45 minutes to spare, please take a listen to this awesome interview Batiste gave on NPR’s Fresh Air w/ Terry Gross

Lmfaooooo that’s the most NYC thing to say. It’s like meeting a cute guy saying he’s hosting in Washington Heights but you’re in Bushwick.

I really want to know who the misogynistic director was!

All those notes with random words on it look like song titles to me.

True. Shame. It could have been a real classic. But not felt like a filler job.
