Erotico

Like A Virgin (the song) turns 40 on October 31, (The album) on November 12.

It was such an iconic moment in Madonna's career when everything suddenly happened and she became the HIT girl!
It all started at the Keith Haring birthday party (called The Party of Life) on May 16 at The Paradise Garage New York where Madonna could already showcase both the title track and Dress You Up in an advance of 6 months to the actual release of the album delayed due to the late success of Lucky Star on the US billboard charts that August 1984.
 
So what follows that May 1984 is Madonna's face becoming more and more familiar to Mtv viewers which starts playing Borderline and Lucky Star non stop and interviewing her. Up until August 84 when Madonna attends a NYC music seminar immortalized by Mtv as well...
 
Finally up to September 14 1984 when the world would get face to face to Madonna's powerful sexy performance of Like A Virgin at the very first Mtv Video Music awards (well as we know we also got face to face to her panties!)
 
The Like A Virgin album produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers would be presented at a New York City party (guest would include Jean Michel Basquiat, Warhol, Keith Haring, John Jellybean Benitez Madonna's then boyfriend etc) on November 7, 1984 at the Private Eyes nightclub.

During December 1984 Madonna also took Uk by storm performing Like A Virgin on Top Of ThE Pops , but what would follow in 1985 would be a roar turning every girl on the planet into a Madonna wannabe filled with laces, bras, rubber bracelets and most of all crucifixes... the Madonna mania was just exploding taking Madonna to promote the album in Japan and in April to a North American tour (The Virgin tour).

Correct, might date back to 1979 with the breakfast club. although instead of saying "I get up again", it goes "Again and again over and over"
 
Beginning 10 Sep 1984, the film Desperately Seeking Susan was shot over a period of nine weeks in the New York City area, and was Orion’s “eighth production of 1984,” as stated in a 4 Sep 1984 HR news item.
Funny she was already shooting the film even before the Like a virgin performance at the Mtv music awards 84.
A 30 Sep 1984 LAT brief reported that the budget was $4.5 million.
Madonna, an up-and-coming singer whose self-titled debut album was released in Jul 1983, was cast as the eccentric "Susan" in her first major feature film role. It was during the making of Desperately Seeking Susan that Madonna’s second album, Like a Virgin, went triple platinum, skyrocketing her to music superstardom. As a result, Desperately Seeking Susan came to be known as “The Madonna Movie,” and on the first day of filming, Arquette was approached for an autograph by a police officer who mistook her for Madonna, according to a NYT article from 14 Apr 1985. This reversal of power between the star and the supporting actress created tension on the set, and Arquette admitted in an interview “that she wouldn’t have made the film if she had foreseen Madonna’s meteoric rise and [resulting] truncated shooting schedule,” implemented so that Orion could take advantage of Madonna’s newfound fame. 
 

@Roland Barthes as the informed fan you are you must be aware of how Over and Over had started at all - long before Like a Virgin album...
OT: cute album - the zeitgeist of yuppie/Reagan's resistence times...

It was released Monday 25th November and charted on Sunday 1st December.

Well, it appeared as a new entry on the chart dated Sunday 1st December at #14, so would have been released a week earlier... Gambler fell down to #50 the same week...

Does anybody know when was Dress you Up released in the Uk? Nov/Dec 1985?

I would certainly compliment him for having advised and codirected some of her best shows, BA and GS, and for having given the most interesting creative idea from the DWT (the tree of life and the "ghosts fighting") . I would tell him that I feel like without him and Vince M lost some of the cohesiveness and depth in staging her music (I agree with Paterson when he says that she has great ideas but she doesn't let evolve the themes, doesn't give 'em enough space to express their full meaning and potential, letting many good things remaining kinda random). So, yes, I would actually ackowledge his contribution at first, I think his absence was creatively and artistically tangible, as Donna's and Niki's in terms of voice and energy.
Said that I would simply ask him why today he thinks he did such a thing like writing that book, cause I don't buy the simple economic reason, there was something deeper in the tone of those pages. And mostly I would like him to share his feelings and thoughts about how worth it's actually been, how he feels today, cause I'm sure that when a relationship arrives at that point responsabilities come from both sides, but the act of going public that way with her was definitely strong and meaningful.

Are we still on time for Like A Virgin 40?? these expanded reissues turned in  such a joke...
