Madonna World Tour rehearsals: Gift #4

Oh last Friday... Fridays have been SO DAMN special lately! First, the Give Me All Your Luvin' video. Then, the Girl Gone Wild video preview. And now, not one but two pics from the MWT rehearsals (via Facebook, of course).

I don't know about you, but my chin fell when I saw them... Oh Dear Lord, what the hell is she doing? :O

More than any glamorous and sophisticated photo session or music video, these photos truly define what Madonna is. In the past, she challenged the establishment. Now, she's challenging herself, her own physical limits... defying gravity.

This is her essence.
This is what made her strive and endure in the swampy grounds of music industry.
This is what made her become a role model and true paradigm of professionalism, discipline and success.

This is what made her become The Queen.

Madonna World Tour rehearsals: Gift #3

Never have I loved Facebook so much as I do these days. Yesterday, another (stunning) photo straight from the rehearsals! Consequence: Revolver playing non-stop in my mind, for the last 24 hours.

Madonna World Tour rehearsals: Gift #2

A couple days after the impressive "bruised photos" (Gift #1), we got a chance to have a first insight of The Queen in true rehearsal mode. All I can say is... THIS IS GONNA BE HUGE!

Madonna World Tour rehearsals: Day One!

But let's go back a few weeks. On February 22, Monte Pittman revealed via Twitter that the first rehearsals had started. He posted a photo as well.

It was the official Day One of the Madonna World Tour rehearsals. YEAH!

22.02.12 - Kevin Antunes, Monte Pittman, Ric'key Pageot and Brian Frasier-Moore

Like we've never seen her before! :O

I bet every one of us had the same reaction, last Saturday:

Moment 1: No, this is fake.
Moment 2: Yeah, absolutely fake.
Moment 3: Come on, you gotta be kidding me...
Moment 4: Wait... the gap in the girl's teeth...
Moment 5: Man... this is from her official Facebook page...
Moment 6: Guy Oseary tweeted this as well?
Moment 7: ...
Moment 8: OH-MY-GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :O :O

It's still hard to believe, but it's true. On March 10, M shared her bruises with us, in a way we could never imagine. No make-up & lights, no editing, nothing but an incredible, clinical-type close-up of her body, her discipline, her endurance, her endless energy.

She almost kills herself to deliver on stage what we all know - what the WORLD knows - for almost 3 decades. And for all these years, we've always been so proud of her work, her message.

You are my role model, for ever and always.
Thank you, Madonna.

Yes, you've already seen them, but it would be sinful not to put them here.

Note: LOVE the descriptions. Feels like she's talking to me!
