Go France!
Now this is what I call one hell of a promotion...
... and if you're walking down Les 4 Temps, a shopping center at Paris la Défense,
this is what you'll bump into. Go France!

F****** amazing!
Yesterday I saw this incredible video montage for Broken (I'm Sorry), the unreleased song from M & Oakenfold's Celebration sessions.
It was 1 a.m. and after watching this I couldn't get into sleep. I just wanted to shout yeeeeeeeeaah!!!
There's nothing like a real M fan to make a video that will blow us away - an official release definitely wouldn't top this. The reason is simple: we all speak the same language!
Thank you so much jonus30, for such an AMAZING work!!! Just... perfect.

Fever
To celebrate yesterday's Summer solstice, here’s one of my favourite M videos.
With Fever, Madonna explored new grounds in her art and, along with French photographer / director Stéphane Sednaoui, delivered us a futuristic ode to sensuality.
Dita was gone, but a new - and equally - mysterious character came into life. Like a deity from a distant galaxy, she appeared in many different forms, from a silver sphinx to a pink-haired seductress, from a Hindu goddess to a flower-woman.
Sednaoui’s special effects - a first in M’s video repertoire, at the time - created the perfect atmosphere to the sizzling aesthetic.
Like everything else from the Erotica period, this was avant-garde at the highest level - and this is why the majority couldn’t get it. Amazingly, this was considered the one of M’s least favourite videos, even by the fans...
I was 15 when I watched it for the first time and was totally blown away. Even today, I watch it with the same sense of wonderment and intrigue. The red-tongue scene is one of the best video openers ever.
What a lovely way to burn…

20 Years of Vogue: Inspiration, Education
One of the things I'm mostly proud of, as a M fan, is not only the unique body of work she has built, but also her educational role. Madonna introduced the MTV generation to a whole spectrum of cultural references from Western (and later Eastern) Modern and Post-Modern cultures.The "Vogue" video is probably her best lecture on Art History, namely the 30s period. We have Art Deco (Design), Tamara de Lempicka (Painting), Horst (Photography), Old Hollywood (Cinema) and, of course, voguing (Dance), also originally from the 30s.
Academics aside, the "Vogue" video opened the 90s decade in full style. And Madonna's nipples turned the world upside down (MTV wanted to remove the scenes, M refused).
It is one of Madonna's greatest masterpieces captured on film. Timeless.
