The performance starts with this exact pose and a very similar costume

When she first appeared and noticed she was referencing The Holy Mountain, i was in fucking awe. One of the coolest performances ever.

Love that we've got new Justin Teodoro t-shirts! And the lithograph set is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing @RUADJAIand @GregVsMatt 

They were at Brooklyn last year too 
 

I just left the merch shop. I took a few pics for y'all. I feel like some of these things might be new. I didn't take a picture of everything. I forgot to take a pic of the lithographs. I got caught up trying to figure out if there was more than one pic in the package cuz you could only see the first one which was a True Blue black and white shot. So I have no idea what the other 3 photos are. 
I picked up the Waiting shirt in the fishnets cuz I dont think Ive seen that one for sale before. I also dont think that Water Color Music one has been released yet either. Or the Celebration Tour Hung Up one. 
 
There were some colorful characters (fans)  there. 😆

This is a part of Madonna that needs a highlight. She is constantly helping and rooting for new artists (or established ones) and collaborating with them, and the world just sees "calculation" or Madonna being opportunistic. 
Let's not forget Madonna was at one of Gaga's first shows in NYC before she became a household name. 
Even dancers. 
 
It's giving Madonna supporting Britney in 2008 when the world was saying she was crazy. 

LOVE her! Thanks for sharing!

Nothing better to do with his time or money than be a little troublemaking queen?! 

"You want to sue Madonna for being late on stage? She’s an artist not a service industry worker
There’s something about the terms in which their discontent is expressed that feels faintly pathetic."

Some music fans seem afflicted by a sense of entitlement, and to have forgotten that inconvenience used to be part of the gig-going experience. Mind you, with today’s ticket prices, is it any wonder?
At first glance, the news that two New York concert-goers are suing Madonna for arriving on stage two hours late for a show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center is hard to read without an involuntary roll of the eyes.
There’s something about the terms in which their discontent is expressed that feels faintly pathetic. Hang on, you went to a gig and got upset because it finished late, you “had to get up early to go to work the following day” and, worse, faced “limited public transportation” en route home?
It is not an argument destined to cut much mustard with anyone who – like the claimants – is old enough to remember a time before golden circles, cordoned-off glamping areas at festivals, corporate packages, VIP suites, lounges and viewing platforms, “ultimate bars” and all the other latterday additions that have turned gigs into a branch of the hospitality industry. A time when a degree of discomfort and inconvenience was part of the gig-going deal. It seems to speak rather loudly about an entitlement on the part of the audience; a tendency to treat artists as though they work in a branch of the service industries: “I’ve paid my money, you had better do exactly what I want or else.”
So there’s a certain irony about the fact that a considerable chunk of the Madonna show that occasioned the lawsuit involves a recreation of the arty, post-disco early-80s New York demimonde from which the singer sprung, complete with a dancer in character as Jean-Michel Basquiat and a mockup of the entrance to the Paradise Garage club.
It seems doubtful that anyone who attended a show by Basquiat’s noise-rock band Gray, or turned up to hear the Garage’s genius but drug-addled resident DJ Larry Levan, ever considered getting the lawyers in because a late start meant they faced “limited public transportation” home.
Then again, no one who attended a gig in the days when discomfort and inconvenience were standard paid the astronomical sums people are expected to cough up for tickets these days. The cheapest seats for Madonna’s London shows were £50, the most expensive were £432.25, and that is assuming you didn’t miss out on the hugely oversubscribed initial sale and end up taking the resold tickets route: one site, Viagogo, was advertising tickets at £1,870 each. And this, it should be added, is not uncommon pricing for big arena shows. Nothing generates a sense of entitlement like spending the best part of a grand on a couple of gig tickets, and if attendees have to leave before the end to catch the last train home, they’re going to feel short-changed and angry.
There, one suspects, lies the nub of the problem: it isn’t really a matter of latterday gig-goers not knowing they’re born or making unreasonable demands on an artist, it’s a simple question of economics.

Yes we were sat in fucking Nando's, so were loads of others. MESS! Still loved it though. Amazing. 

Haha, oh my gosh, I'd have DIED! I know a bunch of people got caught out on the 6th December because O2 Arena staff were telling people they had plenty of time because she wouldn't be on until 21:30pm, and then the show started at like 20:40pm. Never seen so many people rushing to get to their seats  Class action lawsuit for the show starting early?! 
P.S. Hope you had a wonderful time!

Seeing the publications that are sharing the 'news' gives you a clue of what type of 'scandal' they are trying to create. Also good luck with the class action and trying to represent everyone. The whole thing is pure sensationalism

Wearing this with the Blond Ambition bomber jacket?! It's a NEED, not a want.

I hope i dont  sound too much like a nun

Happy for you!!!!
Is always nice to meet intresting people with values....

You can get she who shall not be named to make a fake 'Family & Friends' lanyard for you to make it more convincing 

We absolutely have! A few of us are planning to meet up in Spring, and I have an invite to go to Mexico 🥰
I count my blessings I was constantly surrounded by the most incredible people at the shows I went to, and not people with the mentality/attitude of these "fans" who are trying to sue 

No dear i want to be at the top.... I say im  friend with 

Ohhh sweet!!!!!

That’s so nice, I hope you stayed in contact.. I’m sure many people have found new romances waiting around for her to show up
