She was back, brunnette and with a nose piercing!

With Rosie Perez at the Soul Train Awards

March 15, 1994

After wrapping up her magnificent (but "grueling") Girlie Show tour in December '93, M stepped out of the scene, for a well deserved pause. For the following 3 months, we didn't hear from her at all. That was how I began 1994: religiously flicking every magazine I could find, every week, hoping to hear from her again. There was no internet and the mags were all we could rely on.

Finally, in March, there she was, on US mag, causing us a multiple impact: she was brunette again and wearing a nose piercing! Oh-my-god! We all went crazy.

She looked happy, fresh and totally cool, having a gal's night out with Rosie Perez, at the Soul Train Awards.

Madonna was back in town, with one hell of a look!
