Loved this editorial, showing men dressed in looks inspired by the phases of Madonna's career. One of them is Francois Sagat (in an unfortunate Super Bowl look), but my favorite was this rather committed "Erotica" mimic.
Madonna dresses cleavage-appropriately
Madonna's '60s look on the Italian set of her "Turn Up the Radio" music video reminds me strongly of her look 20 years ago with Jean Paul Gaultier and Tony Ward as seen in Italian Moda. I hope the video is as much of a blast as the song is—it really would have been a smarter first single, Super Bowl or no Super Bowl. And you know, it just might be—it's directed by Jonas Akerlund. It's directed by Tom Munro.
Mr. Wifebeater is the hottest PUC I've ever seen

Nicki Minaj is someone I...really don't get. I want to get her, but I don't. I will say that my impression of her has a Lady Gaga clone (clown?) is only based on her fashion sense as none of her songs has sounded much like Gaga (right?), least of all "Beez in the Trap." With an impressive 6.5 million views in a few days, the video ballsily starts out with, "Bitches say shit and they ain't say nothin'" before...well...she says shit and says nothing:
But I wouldn't go this far—this is the top comment on the video at the moment:
Lovely. Nicki's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is out now and looks like it will be #1 on Billboard next week with over 220,000 or so sold. I wonder how many copies are due to the presence of this little number all over NYC:
For those who claim Madonna's music is a bit juvenile or she's trying too hard to court the youth market, the (sickeningly adorable!) video after the jump might prove your point...
How hilarious and adorable—this 17-month-old's very first word is "Ma-don-na!"...
With thanks to Chris: TMZ has fascinating surreptitious video of the late Whitney Houston jamming to Madonna's Super Bowl performance. (Here are two little boys who loved it, too!!!) The two were icy rivals early on but definitely patched things up. With thanks to my pal Jim (who was never my icy rival), a few videos of Madonna and Whitney referencing each other...
These Brazilians are absolutely NUTS—they recreated Madonna's Super Bowl performance with a care that approaches and scoffs at insanity. BRAVA! BRAVA!...
With thanks to Nelson: Fascinating video shows the unbelievably fast contruction of Madonna's Super Bowl stage...
