Super gorgeous 1986 Bruce Webber outtakes ❤️

Probably not rare but I had never seen this
 
Madonna and Michael Jackson were both in Mexico in 1993 with their respective tours, and here's Madonna attending MJ's show wearing her Holiday costume 
 

Happy 50th #SandraBullock her fav Madonna album is #Erotica Here she is w/ Madonna '06 @VanityFair @TheAcademy party

Sufjan is the kind of artist Madonna should be courting at instead of Kanye and Lil Wayne, but...that's on her. He is a bonafide musical genius just like Pat Leonard knows his way with instruments

ive never liked Don't Stop - prolly in my top 20 least favorite Madonna songs from one of her studio albums.

Wow, I didn't know anything about it. I love the Fever video version!
He also worked on Just a dream.
Don't stop is a little weak imo, too repetitive not only in the lyrics, I was sad when Italian radios chose to air this song instead of Bedtime Story. I always thought it lacked something, I'd love to hear the original funky vibe!

The music and melody of the song is great, but the lyrics are embarrassing. I get that it's supposed to be a fun song. It's not that deep, but they could've come up with better lyrics. I mean, "Feel it in your body, sing la de da de," seriously? 

And Bedtime is now Bedtme

Although I love this album, this entire photoshoot is awful. I'd switch it to any of the Secret single covers.

The gay connection and inflences have always been clear, and also the fact that many female popstars are gay icon.
What I find interesting is that strong and evident change of fanbase, which I don't think happened to many other singers or celebrities. 
In the mid Eighties all girls wanted to dress like Madonna, everybody fancied her. But then when she became opinionated and started to show how she owned her sexuality, many went off with her.
Definitely the Sex Book is important but believe me, it happened before. As @Aiwa08pointed out, Express yourself and Vogue are probably "gayer" than previous singles, especially in their videos, showing naked men and gay dancers. Maybe the Mary Lambert videos, with the double image virgin/whore, fit a larger audience, while the David Fincher period shows a different Madonna. And finally the BAT, more theatrical and less rock than WTG, with the group of gay dancers and their lives portrayed in TOD, determined a clear change of direction. Vogue in XViii century style is also very gay! I wonder if this was intentional and if M realized about losing part of her audience.
 

by the late 80s and early 90s she became much more clear about her association with gay culture, and also became a much more outspoken person in general, so of course the straight men left her, and a lot of women too. also queer men sometimes live vicariously through strong females in the arts so they have attached to her for longer.

I think the moment it became obvious Madonna wasn't just a bimbo and that she was clear about owning her sexuality (as opposed to having it displayed for straight male audience's pleasure) was when heterosexual men went off her.

I would say after the "Express Yourself" video. My hetero friends loved the first Madonna (The first album, Like a Virgin, True Blue) but after "Express Yourself" and "Vogue" they suddenly disliked her.

Please Help! Which Confessions pin should be the next?

I've been thinking about that! 
 

OMFG!! I've been dying for someone to make good Madonna enamel pins. 
Please, please, please! make a Confessions pin!!

Hi, I recently began designing and selling Madonna lapel pins. Eventually I want to create a small collection of some of her most iconic looks. This is my first pin and I'm open to ideas for other designs, so please share them here! Vogue's "Strike a pose" might be next!

Can you try one for the new age? 

Got the pin today! Nice!

Agreed. Love Profussion, American Life, I’m so Stupid and Mother & Father are simply not good, hence they have not aged well.
