Form

It's like looking at an Olympic athlete or a perfectly formed lioness in the Serengeti. The sloppy, head jerking, pop star by number girls today just don't have it.

Madonna on set of Papa Don't Preach.

Jamesy from Madonna-tv.com found these photos of Madonna by Vinnie Zuffante on ebay that are going for the low price of 10,000 dollars. Ha!

Anyway, Vinnie was a paparazzo that Madonna allowed to take these pics while on the set of Papa. He got so many great pics of Madonna during the 80's but this was a rare moment where she actually posed for him. Pictures from this 'session' were used in all the magazines back in the day.

Papa Set

Papa Don't Preach

I Made Up My Mind

In the mid 80's, as her contemporaries ballooned and were drowning in their cemented public images, Madonna opted to crop her hair off, strip away the layered look and exhibited a sculpted physique that would later define that decade. Papa Don't Preach was that moment where Madonna showcased not only the strong vocals on the song but also her wonderful classic 50's Americana style in the accompanying video, directed by James Foley. While we got a little prior glimpse of the upcoming change of sound and look with Live to Tell, this was her real first major metamorphosis since her debut album, Madonna, in 1983.

Prior to Madonna, a star would create a public image and stick with it so the public would be able to identify them. Not so from this moment on. A chameleon by nature, it was innate with Madonna to change. For the others, then and now, it seems forced and expected.

I'm Gonna Keep My Baby, mmm...

It's always been about Madonna in her flats.

Andy Warhol: It Should Look the Way Madonna Looks in Her "Papa Don't Preach" Video...Those Strong Colors. Blond Hair and Orange Lipstick on Black"

Andy Warhol in his diaries on November 9, 1986 - describing what the look of his MTV show, Andy Warhol Fifteen Minutes should look like. Madonna never accepted to appear on the show but, per usual, was The Muse to even the greatest...A Star Above All the Stars and Artists. Madonna's constant influence on art and culture.

"Wow, thats really great, wait until I tell my, uh, my dog..."

Can you people back there see me?
