Corman 83



yeah, i changed the photo because this is the one!!!

Sneak Peak! Madonna on THE MARRIAGE REF tonight!

Cherish At Land







In 1944, dancer, photographer, poet, artist, daughter of psychiatrist, self promoter, and film maker Maya Deren (born Eleanora Derenkowsky) made her second film, At Land.  I believe the first minute of her 15 minute experimental surrealist film, about preserving ones self identity, influenced Madonna and Herb Ritts for Cherish.

The parallels between Maya and Madonna are interesting for the cerebral Madonna fan and it's not a far stretch to see why Madonna was attracted to this defiant spirit and her experimental work.

Narcissism, mirrors, choreography, self portraiture, movement, and identity are themes that not only run through At Land but in much of Maya's work.

If you get the chance, watch the wonderful documentary of Maya's life, In the Mirror of Maya Deren.

Here is the first minute of At Land.

The Witches Collection. La Bruja's First Spell - The Devil Skirt.

The Witches Collection. This final collaboration between Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood included Keith Haring. Westwood found 'a magical, esoteric sign language' in the work of the New York graffiti artist Keith Haring. Most importantly, Madonna wore the best piece. A few of the early fans all time favorite skirt, if not the only skirt - The Devil Skirt!





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evidently, Haring was fuck'd over by Westwood and in mid 1983, Stephen Sprouce approached Haring at his Fun Gallery Exhibit wanting to collaborate on more clothes. Feeling burned and taken advantage of by the Westwood experience, he declined Stephen's offer.

Here are some pics from the collection. Of course, we all knew of this collection via Madonna wearing that skirt in photo shoots with Eric Watson, Michael Putland and immortalized forever in Mary Lambert's and Madonna's Borderline 'film'. Also note here, The Real King of Pop, Marilyn modeling on the catwalk.

If one didn't have to peel back the pages of a magazine to see who created what - get off the Lord's bus cause you ain't got correct change.
