karbatal Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's my fav photoshoot. It's daring and incredibly beautiful at the same time, so different to anything else, and she looked stunning. Another photoshoot i love is the 1995 Versace one. I love the 2010 one with Met and Markus. Oh, this woman has so many great photoshoots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the one with the ciggy in her mouth supposed to be the original IC album cover? Would have loved one of these pics as the cover picture even though the one they used became quite iconic, too.

I just remembered that when I saw them for the first time I always wet myself with excitement while thinking " How will she top this !??? " but she did and still does.

cosmic_system Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This was the original cover, but she looked "too much like Myke Tyson" so they changed. In the end it was used as the VHS/LD/DVD cover, and the same photo was used for the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Barthes Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It was originally released as the cover of Interview Magazine june or may 1990 issue and it caused a controversy. Some newstands in New York had the part where she grabs her crotch covered with yellow plastic wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 they hypocrisy of the 80s and 90s, when a man could grab his crotch all the time (Michael Jackson) but a woman doing that was a scandal. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloane Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Interview magazine, Royal Box postcards!, IC, BAT, Keep It Together. I believe there's even a Rescue Me picture disc that uses it, though it may be a bootleg. One of my favorite photoshoots ever. And yes, back in the day, the pic of her holding her crotch was quite a scandal. I remember a news segment about it and they interviewed this woman on the street. They were standing in front of a lampost that had the pic (advertisement for Interview Mag) pasted on it. The woman said it was disgusting / inappropriate. They were always bashing her in those days and this was before Erotica, of course. Months ago there was a thread to post your favorite M picture ever and I posted that one. It's hard to say which is truly a favorite when M has SO MANY glorious photos, but that crotch-grabbing one from Interview is my go-to answer for "favorite." Not because it's raunchy, bc frankly I don't think it is. She just looks so... awesome... in it. Even the outtakes are wonderful. There's not many faces who could pull that shoot off. M just has "the face" to wear whatever hairstyle, makeup, etc. She blends perfectly. I think this photo shoot is beautifully and tastefully done. What a body of work!

Would have loved one of these pics as the cover picture even though the one they used became quite iconic, too. That's what I thought too, but the back cover/TIC video cover makes more sense. I saved this from madonnacatalog.com decades ago - apparently 10 of these were made before she changed the album cover at the last minute. But now that I look at it, the logo was pasted on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregVsMatt Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It was shot on 17 December 1989 in an old theatre in San Pedro that Herb Ritts had found - the shoot went from 11am until 10pm and it's Herb's favourite shoot - it was done originally for Interview magazine and then upcoming tour program - all this info is in Herb's book Notorious too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
