Thanks MDNA for the info-- very curious about the art direction of this publication... I hope it's sleek and clean. (And I'm a blind idiot it seems: It clearly states ISSUE 154!)

BTW, the costumes and styling are really perfection to me this era. I take back what I said about B.-- she's not that awful, after all. And seeing Aya and Bambi with her brings in such a sense of freshness to the dynamic of the choreography. I love it when M brings in-- and is influenced by her Asian collaborators. The Japanese girls, the romantic Spanish-baroque costumes and the classic R&B- flavor-- just effortlessly fantastic visually. No one else in the pop landscape can dream to even touch her this time, for me.

(Never cared for Ellen, but M's got to do what she's got to do to win over the mid-westerners, I suppose.)

I never bought this magazine before, so I didn’t really know about it.

It’s a men’s fashion magazine with art, 2 male fashion editorials, only 3 ad pages (Saint Laurent and Mont Blanc) in this isuue.

This issue is fun, with great art direction. I pretty enjoy the articles And several pages of SEX book are also featuring in this issue.

Playboy May 2015 by Martin H.M. Schreiber





Madonna is the all-time pop music champion. She’s won seven Grammys, sold over 300 million records and just released Rebel Heart, her 13th album. She’s also a sex icon that pushed boundaries long before Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus. Look no further than her artful nude pictorial in the September 1985 issue of Playboy to see Madonna’s pursuit of sexual freedom.

For the upcoming May issue of Playboy Martin H.M. Schreiber, one of the photographers who shot the Material Girl for the 1985 pictorial, returns to the magazine with a feature titled “Madonna: The Lost Nudes.” In 1979 Madonna posed for an ethereal photo shoot in his Manhattan studio, before she became the pop diva we know today. These images are collected in a book showcasing Schreiber’s work called A Retrospective 1966-2014 (Duncan Meeder/Leica Store Lisse, Netherlands), which will hit bookshelves this June. Take a look at this incredible shoot.

THIS IS THE DEAL WITH MADONNA'S DRAKE COACHELLA PERFORMANCE TANK TOP




Turns out the piece is made by L.A.-based Private Party, the brand known for comical graphic T-shirts, sweatshirts and bathing suits with sayings and song lyrics including, "I Woke Up Like This," "Netflix, Nachos & Naps," and "Who The Fvck is Aubrey Graham?" Ashley Tisdale, Emily Ratajkowski and Tracee Ellis Ross are among the many notable fans of the company's wink-and-nod gear.

So just how did Madonna's onstage piece come to be?

"My dear friend works closely with her team so she put us in touch," Private Party founder and designer Patrick Monahan told Pret-a-Reporter via text after the fest. "After Drake released the 'Big as Madonna' track on his new album, we immediately knew it was something we wanted to make for her. We passed along the idea and her team loved it."

Did you guys watch the amazing performance of BIM? She's killed it, her energy is unbelievable.:woot:
 
^^^ The performance was fun-- and very cringe-inducing at the same time for me. The 80s r*tchet-look is not my fav of hers.

And thanks so much for taking the time with the shots of the magazinr! Looks like the art direction is very much like those aficionado publications from Japan, where the creatives mostly are sourced from archives rather than origin shots.

Have to say my enthusiasm for this era is quickly fizzling out. It all started so elegantly and fresh. I guess the general public doesn't want elegant-Madonna... I guess they want her to either go away or be there for them to flog, and now with this Drake-nonsense-- I feel people are laughing at her rather than with her amidst all the uproar. The meanness, and vitriol aimed at her by the general public makes me wonder why she continues to provoke as much s she does... Which, incidentally, is the very reason I admire her so much. Yes, she is desperate, shameless and lacking self-awareness some of the times and r*tchet-Madonna has never been anything admirable to me, and why she would want to associate herself with poptrash like Drake, LMFAO and PYS is quite beyond me. But she is brave and willing to put herself out there, even when the end result is that she's become a joke and relentlessly mocked.

She's got balls of iron, I'll give her that.
 
^^I agree. I was loving the Rebel Heart looks up until she started wearing Moschino. I'm surprised she is even wearing Jeremy Scott's Moschino considering, to me, it's so associated with Katy Perry at this point.

The "Living For Love" and "Ghosttown" looks were fabulous. The matador look really grew on me, and that Schiaparelli dress was such a moment. And the Greg Lauren looks for her felt very new and different and distinct. Thought it was great.

But, yeah, the Moschino thing isn't so good for her. I'm also not sure I'm loving how quickly she's changing the looks...it makes the impact of each look feel very feeble because it only lasts a week or so and then it's over.

Regardless, I'll always love her for putting herself out there, being fearless and trying anything. It's so brave and I think she's at a point in her life - and my guess is it's a result of motherhood and her children growing up - that she's less concerned about being "perfect" and "controlled" and "calculated." Which is not to say that she isn't in control at all - obviously - but I think she's just at a place in her life where she's enjoying being able to laugh at herself and probably not taking herself quite as seriously as she had once done.
 
^^^ I don't know how Jeremy does it-- I mean, even before his role at Moschino, the guy had huge names pulling from him and Madonna's been a regular fixture at his showroom as well as his parties. He must have some deep pockets supporting him in this industry. And the kidz are loving his gaudy logo-crazy pieces... And you what? When you see these accessories up close-- all the retro-bling, it's actually not that bad... Still wouldn't wear it, but I do understand the appeal if you weren't around the first time for the real thing.

I still get the impression she's still desperate for the kidz' approval, even if she is more ball-to-the-walls in her attitude at the moment. And people are laughing at her, rather than with her, and that's not something that she would ever want. So despite her making these very bold statements against ageism and bigotry, it's not being heard over all the finger-pointing and mocking. No one expects, and wants to be humiliated, and she's being humiliated. And aside from that, I'm bored with retro-80s r*tchet-Madonna since she's been there and done that LOL
