Fashionista has a post on "MADONNA: A Transformational Exhibition," a traveling collection of "unseen" photos of her Madgeness from her days in the East Village circa early 1980s... Photographer Richard Corman talks about meeting Madonna for the very first time... at her place in 234 E. Fourth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B...I went into the building and the seas parted – there must have been 20 kids sitting on the stoop and in the hallway and then I went up to meet her. I really didn’t know what I was getting into, but as soon as I met her, as soon as she served me espresso on a silver plated tray with Bazooka bubblegum, I knew I was in for a ride.
The exhibit opens Thursday with a private event. Read the Q-and-A (and find more photos) here.

ReplyDeleteBetter that than something off the MDNA album!
awesome thank you for the post : )
ReplyDeleteTrust me, nothing from MDNA will get stuck in your head.
ReplyDeleteWish she was as interesting, truly inventive and subversive now as she was then. She owes the East Village for nurturing her and should be involved in nabe preservation.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know if she is?
She's busy preserving Malawi and her collagen supply.
ReplyDeleteI only wish we had young, creative people like her moving to the neighborhood today. Sadly, they can't afford to come here now, and why would they want to now that the neighborhood has been taken over by the whoo-hoo crowd?
