V Magazine Photoshoot ( November Edition)

[madfactor 7]

I enjoyed the interview, the photoshoot by far not so much, i liked the covers except for the diamonds one which looks extremely blurried and very low quality in terms of image, maybe it'll look better in a physical copy idk

Thank God there are pics that shows her natural beauty without filters. Sometimes I dont know which is the real thing!!!!

yawns

[hankypanky2021 275]

You would think the way people go on in this forum that she has never ever touched up her photos before etc etc or no other popstar or celeb or artist does it ..ffs change the record - youd all be moaning if she looked rough on the picture or old or tired ..hypocrites 

[Redha DBL 7,326]

The side face covers is absolutely stunning, they just went a bit overboard with photoshop lol, she looks 26 ! With good make up/hair and the right lightenning she can look wonderful and doesn't need that crazy amount of filters.

She looks Glam. The interview i think is also a preview what we are going to see in the Visual Autography.

[Humanfly 1,004]

ok i am saving the interview for when i get my magazines delivered and i love the covers especially the ass bed one what more do you people want, haha.

i think the low quality image is for aesthetic purposes or whatever. i am happy with it especially the ass picture. reminds me of the pic of her ass from xstatic process  which i believe was the month of october in the american life madonna calendar lol

[Askeroff 8,101]

i don't care about photoshop 

this pic is my fav so far , would be a cover material

Can't wait to get these. Reliving 1990.

[Robertthenurse 2,914]

I will always love the anticipation this woman creates for her fans.

Yes but also the industry standards and retouching have evolved. 
They should have left some definition in her face. It doesn’t have to look like a perfect smooth globe. And god forbid they left a couple lines here and there for realism

Some of the pics are amazing - some not so. The interview was a bore - lol

I love all the photos but i don't care for this one. Its like she's making fun of marilyn monroe with all the pills. Marilyn had insomnia and when your on medication for a long time you have to take more due to your tolerance going up. This would've been a stunning photo if it wasn't for all the pills and set up like monroe's death. Meisel was so good on recreating monroe. I hope i don't offend anyone but it really terrified me. 

The pills thing is a bit much I agree

[Humanfly 1,004]

? i don't think it is in poor taste. remember, artists are here to disturb the (rest in) peace. 

i love it, and the photographer Steven explains his intentions in the text at the beginning of the article. trick or treat! 

i also have found throughout the day that the other 3 covers have grown on me as well! maybe i will rip the covers of and put them in a frame and then use the rest of the magazine for arts and crafts LOL . i really love it when the two artists work together because we get timeless and iconic work. that is why they even did the MM thing in the first place, i amguessing. hold on to the little bit of magic in it!! 

yes you have seen a lot of me lately on here it's because  i am cosplaying sitting here typing on my phone pretending i am madame x at my typewriter with a clove cigarette lol 

[Roland Barthes 5,838]

Sean Penn or Guy Ritchie ? As it comes before Christopher (my brother betrays me...) i think this Ritchie.  As for the photoshoot i'm not interested in it. The best pic being THE ASS and i love they did this at the St Regis in NYC like the LAV album photoshoot. Part of me think they are taking the piss (the sunglasses pic is a big hint) and rightfully so judging by the perpetual silly overreactions here. But then she says this and i appreciate how honest she is :

She is not 'making fun' of Marilyn........

[danMfan 1,361]

I loved the interview! Good questions!

About the pics... the only one i really liked was the one with bed / ass.

[gafuller 1,653]

I mean, we are talking about a woman who has sexualized religion. I doubt she’s looking at it as offensive but thought provoking. Disturbing. Dancing in front of burning crosses, hanging on a disco cross, spinning on stripper pole cross, and etc. they’re all disturbing and at first glance sacreligous. But it’s art. What are we gonna do? Excommunicate her? Lol, joking of course. It’s probably a sensitive topic to some, but everything she does is gonna viewed as poor taste by someone. 

[50ft Queenie 2,787]

Here we go again with the constant bitching and complaining, its like everyone waits for her to release something just so they can criticize it. I guess Madonna should just overdose like Michael Jackson so everyone can sit around remembering how great she was in the past? The only picture I dont care for is the one thats blurry. Also whats all this bullshit about the interview? none of this information is stuff we have not heard her say many times before and it is no reflection of what is going to be included in the biopic. Everyone calm the fuck down please. Sometimes I wonder how long some of you have been Madonna fans, we are talking about a woman who released Like a Prayer music video and put herself on a cross in Confessions Tour and you people are surprised that she used pill bottles to recreate a death scene. If you have some problem with controversy and provoking thoughts, why the hell are do you call yourselves Madonna fans?

I mean at the beginning of the interview they had a disclaimer. I don't interpret this as her making some sort of mockery of this. This photoshoot is LITERALLY a reenactment of the last moments and last photoshoot of Marilyn's life. It's an accurate dipiction. Everyone finds the ugly out of everything Madonna does -- that's not surprising to me. To be honest, I didn't even notice the pills until I read the negative "critic" reviews. Meh, it's a bottle. Whatever.

[blondebenji 1,885]

if they were making a movie about Marilyn's last days would the pills not be included.  Luv the pics and the interview is so awesome

[Brandon Clark 1,081]

All I can say is that I will be reselling all 4 versions of this magazine I bought. Not really impressed & I am a huge MM & M fan! This could have been SOOOOO much more iconic than it turned out & that's just my opinion. Haven't read the interview yet but I will check that out later I have to go to work now :/

[Blue Prince 995]

I enjoyed what she said about not doing a Greatest Hits Tour and making a billion dollars out of it. Hopefully we'll never hear fans dying for one unless it actually happens much later in the future. I'm really happy to see her devotion to the Madame X era. I think after Ray of Light, it's her first authentic one. The others were just different producers and fancy costumes.

Also her admiring of the message, not the messenger, is something important to be said. As an artist she gets easily ignored because she is considered too old or unnecessarily controversial that people don't bother to hear what she has to say. 

As for the cancel culture thing, that is something I constantly fear for all artists I stan. Certainly not Madonna though. She's been dragged to hell and back so many times, what's there to fear now?
