Notes

The PI in the crime novel was pretending to be a record producer and was asked what stars he had met. 

He came out with names including Madonna. 

“You’ve Met Madonna! Is she as horny as she seems?” 

Is that what most people think?

So 2 parts of the enigma are her Cv and Sex.

CV

• singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, record producer, director, author, and business woman.

• associated with clothes and perfumes. 

• Founder of 2 charities and a record company. 

• Special award for donations to AIDS research. 

• $1 million to COVID vaccine research.

Sex

• For someone who sings “got no boundaries, got no limits, if I break the law, arrest me.” her sexual 

• images went too far and was lucky to be saved by the film “Evita” and the album “Ray of Light”.

So, which of these, CV or Sex, has made her the most successful female star ever?

Her early makeup and hairstyle I find ugly, but by mid career, with or without nips and tucks, I find she is beautiful. She often smiles, looks at her performers, and interacts with them. 

From what I have read she seems the perfect manager and I haven’t said that about anyone before. There are no airs and graces.

So I have painted a “Magritte ” of her. Good Girl / Bad Girl.  She eats provocation, controversy and criticism for breakfast. Some artists would have been suicidal 100 time over by now. 

The photo was odd as her upper torso is at 90 deg to the lower without seeming to twist. There is a subtle smile on her lips. 

Having said all this I still know very little about her and don’t really want to know. But are you dazzled with the Luminous Red like I am? I probably would like only 10% of her output but that 10% would be good..
