Happy 25th anniversary
I knew it was going to arrive soon. Everyday I would sneek into the record store near my place, hoping for the moment. One day, the lady smiled at me: "Ruizinho, it has arrived". When I looked at the cover, I was mesmerized, couln't even speak. My heart started racing. She was so incredibly beautiful. The album cost me 1200 Escudos. I was 8 years old.

Dita's ghost by the pool
Another series from the Interview photoshoot: the swimming pool shots. Sessions took place at M's home in Miami, the same location for the legendary Sex sessions with Steven Meisel. Curiosly, for this one, M wears the same see-through dress she used a year before. Dita's ghost was still raving by the pool. HOT!
One of the shots would be used for the cover of the Rain single, released in July 1993.

Summer's here!
Of all the images that come into my mind when Summer arrives, I always think of the cover of Interview from June 93. Simple, luminescent and filled with that timeless M expression of Beauty. In one word: stunning.
On that issue, M chatted with Mike Myers by telephone, talking about everything and nothing at all. One page of pure Madonna humour accompanied by a beautiful, sexy portfolio of 7 photographs by Herb Ritts, celebrating the beginning of Summer. There they were, those gooorgeous bangs à la Bette Davis, a few days after they were flaunted during the amazing rendition of Peggy Lee's Fever, at Arsenio's 1000th episode. Some of the photos would be used for the Girlie Show tourbook.
So many good reasons to start a series of posts dedicated to the hot season!
