    Calling out M's older fans (prior to AL): How was it like then?

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    I've been a fan since around the LAV era, and one of my earliest memories is the mania that surrounded her during that time, from the teenage "wannabees" to the Playboy scandal to the early (it's been following her around forever) criticism regarding her image, especially those critics saying she was "too sexual." Up until then, there had never been a superstar like her, especially in mainstream pop.

    She was also one of the first celebrities to bring real attention to the AIDS crisis. I have footage on tape somewhere of MTV news stories that show her at AIDS benefits, ie. the dance-a-thon from '88/'89 that shows her with Christopher Flynn. She was also one of the first celebrities to bring more visibility to the LGBT community (Truth or Dare being one of the biggest examples of this).

    In being a fan for this long, you really got to see how much of a pioneer she was (and continues to be!) in so many ways. She has gone against the grain from the beginning. SO many things that were considered taboo 20-30 years ago (AIDS awareness, LGBT visibility, women being in charge of their image and sexuality and NOT apologizing for it), are not as taboo now, and I truly believe that Madonna has so much to do with that.

    In regards to the popularity of Madonna and Michael Jackson, absolutely nothing has compared since. I mean, they had some of their music videos premiering during PRIME TIME TELEVISION for chrissakes. These things were events!!!

    I have been calling my local Barnes and Noble all week and they still don't have it :( (Southern California) and when I went in today the guy told me I was the 6th person to ask for lol.

    That's crazy!

    The B&N close to me didn't get it until Wed/Thurs and when I was finally able to grab a copy (the one with the mask), there were just two left. :-/

    I hope you find one soon!!

    What Were the Yoga Years?

    I'm sure her diet has a lot to do with her amazing body as well!

    Also, I wonder if she does much weight training?

    I've been pretty (semi) hard-core with my exercise routine for about 12 years and I always wanted arms like hers. Started weight training (lifting heavy) and now I feel like I finally have "Madonna arms!" lol

    Anyway, her body is a work of art! She's taken such good care of her self all these years and it has sure made a difference as she has gotten older. Such a role model and inspiration for health and fitness. :)

    Same. It reminds me SO much of her look from the early 90s, which is my absolute favorite era.

    Swear to God, I was still recovering from the Interview Magazine photos, and then these Versace photos came along and I'm just officially a mess. *cry*
