Somehow, 20 years after the fact, fabulous (and mostly never-before-seen) Sex and Truth or Dare/Meisel's Vanity Fair-era shots are leaking. More are over at the invaluable Madonna Scrapbook.
How does this happen? Here is my theory:
Via Musto, who did it first: A drag recreation of Madonna's Sex book is coming, albeit in e-form. Fun idea, though not sure why he'd recreate this famous pose in a different location. I'm reserving judgment until I see the whole thing. So far, my gash isn't weeping, but it's intrigued. P.S. Never seen Madonna's Sex book? Here.
Via Letters of Note: Check out this hilariously bratty letter written by Madonna to Steven Meisel back in '91 when she was filming A League of Their Own! It's unkind, but not too, and has a succinct wit to it. Plus she has that great handwriting. I love how real it is—Meisel was envious of Ritts?—and it ends with a momentous reference to an upcoming project...after the jump...
The Bowery Girls
I dunno if I can ever forgive Mark Simpson for "post-gay" (his Anti-Gay had to be the first book of that nature) let alone "metrosexual," but he's spot-on regarding Lady GaGa. (Which is just a snappier way of saying, "This guy's saying exactly what I've been saying!")
