Yesterday, reader Eric E. sent along the link for Sade's "Is it a Crime" video showing some delicious Times Square pornage lights circa 1985.
This morning, I came across Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to do With it" video shot in NYC in 1984. Love the extras from central casting. And, fyi: Don't fuck with Tina on the streets.
Still, nothing beats Pat Benatar's free-the-exotic-dancers scene in "Love is a Battlefield."
And a little Staten Island from Madonna, who turns 50 today.

Thanks for the cred, Grieve. Just got back from Long Beach, LI, and that, too, is being gentrified (just saw a Five Guys burger opening up in place of a former Korean deli, amongst other/clubs restaurants that used to be mom and pop shops --even Wendy's closed, the one by the train station and is now a Capital One Bank).
Anyway, I feel like celebrating Christmas in August. This is how Christmas in NYC should be, not the masses of tourists and yunnies consuming everything and everyone around them. Merry Christmas!
Ah, Christmas in August! God Bless us Everyone!
