W Magazine March 2009 : Madonna by Steven Klein

[Melly5525]

When I saw it was Madonna on the cover I wasnt too excited I figured it be the same kinda ed shes been doing alot recently, the yoga poses and such but I really love this, her and Meisel make magic together, it reminds me of the Take a Bow video which is when I think madonna looked her absolute best.

It is very early-nineties Madonna, which is great! And I'm just happy to see her without her legs wrapped around her head for once!

So, when is this in stores? Sometime within this week, hopefully?

 

[Paws]

This is so boring and unimaginative. Are they serious with this? Madonna in a terrible peroxide-wig frolicking around a hotel room with models?

And the use of the nude male models is so pretentious, no? They're trying to add controversy by injecting the spread with some sexuality but in the end it just looks ridiculous.

I'm so sick of Madonna trying to be controversial ALL the time. It gets tired after a while; especially with the proliferation of editorials like this and her other numerous self-promotion tactics.

Besides this is not fashion at all. It's a shameless attempt on W's behalf to create controversy and up their sales, instead of staying faithful to their fashion context.

This whole issue is just sad to me, and I don't get why people are swooning over the Madonna spread.

^I 100% agree with you!

Oh boy(s)! I just realized they are the reason I don't mind Madonna as much as I usually do, it's easy not to pay attention to her

Does anyone else find it kind of sad that people think it's disgusting for an older woman to frolic about with a bunch of much younger men but people probably wouldn't say the same if it were an older man with much younger women?

People would say the same if it were an older man with a much younger women.

Instead of COUGAR, it'd be PERVERT and PEDOPHILE.

^^Oh pleasee we all know it wouldnt be as harshly judged i see it all the time, and men are never as crucified for having a younger lover as women are.

I really like this. If a celebrity ed is going to happen, this is the way to do it. I'm really excited for the rest of the content!

i like it, but i'm not overwhelmed. it's not unpredictable or edgy, because it's repetitive.....that said, i like it. i don't care about the age/sex thing because it doesnt matter....the previous Madonna W spreads were not things i could have foreseen....they made me think....this one...ok, i'll say it....the all one color obvious wig, combined with her musculature give off a bit of TG angle in some shots...if it were not obviously MADONNA, you might ask yourself if you were looking at genetic female or not...that's mainly because we're conditioned to seeing a taller leaner body in fashion....

i'll enjoy looking at it, but it makes me feel nostalgic, rather than challenging me visually, which i hoped this combo would do

The male model looks sexy, but beyond that Iam underwhelmed.

Looks like a middle age woman using a escort.

 

[xsavagex]

I think she looks fantastic!!

 

[RomanXII]

I love Madonna I do, but man this just reeks of desperation (kind of like cat urine in a litter box) Sorry. :/

 

[educo]

SEX. Suga mamma version.

I'm trying not to read into this too much, but I feel she trying to resurrect a younger version of Carlos Leon.

I do think that her and Klein make a good team.

 

[Fini]

I'm so tired of Klein's work. This naked boys appearing in random poses thing doesn't appeal to me anymore after seeing it for the 100x time.

 

[cottonmouth13]

i'm excited for the contents!!!

 

[saann]

she looks so gorgeous!

probably because you can't see her face

 

[Alien Sex Friend]

looks very sad and dispirit... i think thats a step back for her: very young guy stands behind her and she s a pretty aged woman who just cant make up mind to her age. looks like a "last chance" for her and he`s lookin` like a gigolo. age begins to tell and madonna is not an exception. for example her without a retoushing its a promo shoot to feel the difference, so to say....

there was a time i luv her (in 98, for example), not long ago i was hating her and now that looks just sad...
