This would've been an "off" shot at the time, but it's so great! Ricki Lake's gaze = priceless

Kenneth in the (212) has some great vintage photos of Madonna and others at the 1990 APLA Commitment to Life fundraiser, where Madonna performed her Marie Antoinette version of "Vogue" and boothed it up with her hottest-ever conquest, Tony Ward.

The pix, by amateur shutterbug Alan Light, are amazing! As I commented, we are all Alan Light. Light recalls to Kenneth:

"I still vividly remember Madonna got angry at me for taking those two top photos. After I snapped the second one she said 'Stop taking my f-ing picture. You didn't even ask me."

I totally understand her POV, but if you ask me, no fanboy or fangirl can be blamed for shooting first and asking questions later when it comes to Madonna. If he'd asked her, do you think we'd be looking at these shots today?

I hope Light will offer up more of his '80s and '90s star shots. Anyone who makes sure to get a pic-with Cry-Baby's "Hatchet Face" and snaps Natalie Schafer in her declining years must have a million of 'em.
