The big one looks more "mumsy" (or 80s big sister) though - in a way that the girls from Abba were...

I like the innocent pretty look on her. Certainly more effervescent than Dita trying to be my mistress tonight.

She looks okay, just not like a "totally" thought out pop star. Her look wasn't quite "there" - as was soon to be.....(after some more trial & error)....

Trial and error? I'll say.

That being said: it's still a staple of 80's themed Halloween costumes to this day. She should be proud.

She (or her and or Maripol) created so many "new" looks, like underwear as outerwear, heaps of jewellery, make-up, but applied differently (sluttish, of course), but mixed with "virginal" ie: white chiffon wedding dresses, etc. All part of her huge appeal... Cyndi Lauper deserves mention here too...although her look was more "second-hand store kooky" than anything; or a little weird!

A little weird? There's no "little" about it. No wonder Madonna did better: she had a real icy power and mischievous sexuality that, er, that thing doesn't have.

Edit: my reliable sources inform me that that IS Cyndi Lauper. Well I'll be.

Now, now Brad. Cyndi actually, initially, did better. (She won the 1985 Grammy for Best New Artist & had 5 top 5 singles from She's So Unusual). That sure is her, that picture was actually from the photo shoot for her first Rolling Stone cover in 1984. Do you like this pic better?

Nope. Still weird.

Unusual....

Just a tad. Lol.

The bottom middle photo looks like Maddy at the Grammys '01, and the one on the far left could almost pass for a 'Who's That Girl' costume fitting. Haha. Spoookeeeee.

Yes, and what about album titles True Colors and True Blue - both released 1986. .. and songs, Like A Virgin, Like A Cat. There's also a CL song called Madonna Whore (off Shine EP).

True Colours and True Blue??

OMG.

The True Blue 12" remix, aka: "True Blue: The Color Mix".



She's SNEAKY.

True Colors has a track called Boy Blue (back atcha!!)

How the hell did we get to comparing True Colours and True Blue from talking about Snifters and Tangy Fruits??

BTW: Thankies for the lollies. The Snifters are weird and I'm glad they're being dumped, but that gummy crocodile was delicious and where can I get more of them?
