MADONNA & JOEY STEFANO (WARNING: ADULT CONTENT!)

This post is dedicated to JOEY STEFANO.

I'm the kind of guy who is very emotional. Passion is something that moves me... Every single time I write a new text it’s because something just touched my heart... I know it sounds cliché, I know it, but that’s the way I am.
Today I decided to talk about a boy called NICHOLAS... wait a minute, let me start at the beginning...

... and to start it, I would like to show you how I divide this post...

PART 1: SEX, MADONNA’s erotic book: BOOK + REMIX.

PART 2: JOEY STEFANO, The hungry bottom: The Porn star: VIDEOS + PHOTOS WITH ADULT CONTENT.

PART 3: The real treasure of this post: JOEY STEFANO: VIDEO.

PART 4: A song for JOEY STEFANO: SONG DEDICATED TO THE ACTOR.


... if you are a very puritan kind of person, I better warn you that you should only read PART 1 of this text, that is the place where I posted the remix, and that’s it... but, obviously, you will not do that... I have this feeling that you’re going to read it from the beginning to the end.

Here we go...

PART 1: SEX, MADONNA’s erotic book.

I do not intend to make a detailed description of MADONNA’s erotic publication, but only a brief overview about it, it’s only a link to the real purpose of this post.

In 1992 MADONNA launched a book containing images that were composed of erotic photos taken by the American photographer STEVEN MEISEL and film frames taken from film shot by FABIEN BARON. Texts were written by MADONNA, she wrote the book as a character named MISTRESS DITA, inspired by the German silent film actress DITA PARLO.
A huge public "buzz" preceded the book's release, generating massive publicity and, obviously, some controversy.

I am sure that you would like to have access to the content of this profane book... so, in the link below you can find a link where you can make the download of it...

SEX (THE BOOK) – MADONNA [PDF]:

SEX was released on October 21, 1992 by Warner Books. The book was released by MADONNA as an accompaniment to her fifth studio album EROTICA, which was released a day earlier (October 20, 1992).
The photos included in the 1992 album's cover and inside sleeve come from the STEVEN MEISEL photographs shot for the SEX book.
The album title song, EROTICA, which opened the new album, became a song inseparable from the book SEX... somehow the song and the book sound like a perfect complement to each other... and it deserves a remix, doesn’t it?

PART 2: JOEY STEFANO, The hungry bottom: The Porn star.

I want you to take a look at the photo below, it comes from MADONNA’s book SEX... Please, pay special attention to the boy who is sitting on the floor with a listless look and with part of his hair on the face, he has a tattoo on his right arm... behind him there is a man wearing a tuxedo (the German actor UDO KIER)...



Featured in the book, aside from unknown models, are actress ISABELLA ROSSELLINI, rappers BIG DADDY KANE and VANILLA ICE, model NAOMI CAMPBELL, actor UDO KIER, the European socialite TATIANA VON FURSTENBERG, nightclub owner INGRID CASARES... and finally, gay porn star JOEY STEFANO.

Yes, he is the one that I was talking about in the photo that I posted above... the boy with a tattoo of a skull in his right biceps: JOEY, he is the real reason for me to be writing this text, without him this post would never exist.

JOEY STEFANO was not his real name. His real name was NICHOLAS ANTHONY IACONA, JR..
Born to middle-class parents in Chester, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 1968, NICHOLAS ANTHONY IACONO had an older sister, Linda, and a younger sister, Tina. At age 15 he dropped out of high school - at about the same time his father died - and began to experiment with drugs as well as engage in street hustling.
In 1989, at the age of 21, he moved to Los Angeles and quickly became involved in the rapidly-expanding world of gay videos. Standing 5' 11" and weighing 165 pounds, his good looks and pleasing physique soon made him a porn star under the name JOEY STEFANO.
Significantly, JOEY almost always played the bottom role in these scenes, making him unique in a genre filled with performers who would only play tops. A notable reason for his popularity, besides his smoldering good looks, was his early mastery of the HUNGRY BOTTOM (sexually submissive but verbally demanding) persona.
He did not handle his finances well, however, and had no long-range plans to manage his career, usually being content to accept whatever was offered to him. Soon his career began to fade, though his drug habit continued...
Late in 1990 he tested as HIV positive.
Hoping to revive his fortunes, JOEY began to tour the country, dancing and stripping at gay nightclubs and offering himself as a paid escort.
His image and success caught the attention of MADONNA, who used him as a model in her 1992 book SEX.
The actor can be seen in the pages 59 - 60 - 61 - 63 – 64 and 68 in the file containing the book SEX that I posted in the PART 1 of this text.

All the photos where you can see JOEY were taken at GAIETY THEATER. It was a gay male burlesque theater in Times Square, New York City for almost 30 years until it closed on March 17, 2005.
An interesting fact is that JOEY STEFANO danced at the GAIETY in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was one of the more famous GAIETY dancers (and porn stars)... and it all happened years before the idea of use the place for the book SEX.

Since I became interested in STEFANO’s life and work I’ve been collecting pictures and movies where he appears...
I decide to share with you a little bit of it... all the links below contain homoerotism... please if you do not enjoy this kind of thing just go away!

PART 3: The real treasure of this post: JOEY STEFANO.

I hope you understand that it was just a brief text about JOEY STEFANO... I am not a professional biographer... I just love facts and people and to research about them.

Reading about JOEY STEFANO I realized that his life was not very different of so many other lives... a lot of artists have the same kind of story... it’s hard to me to tell you why I felt so moved about him... you can not stand in my shoes...

Somehow JOEY reminds me JAMES DEAN...

I am sure that you probably think that what caught my attention was his beautiful body and his talent in bed... well, it’s not a completely wrong affirmation... but that is not all...

Do you want to know why I felt in love with JOEY STEFANO?

Well, when I started collecting material about the actor I found a short video in YOUTUBE...
In a rare interview, JOEY talks about his life, his career, his favorite film... I mean, he talks about his life.
That was when I really felt in love with JOEY...
In this video he looks so sweet, so fragile, almost shy...
I know that he was not innocent, just the other way around... but I was not prepared to see such an angelic face. I suppose that he was around 25 years old in this video.
It’s strange, but this video looks like it was part of 1990 MADONNA’s documentary IN BED WITH MADONNA... that’s why I decided to call it IN BED WITH JOEY STEFANO.

Here you have the video... I just love it!

PART 4: A song for JOEY STEFANO.

The video posted above was recorded 17 months before the actor dies.

On November 26, 1994, at the age of 26, he was found dead in a Hollywood Boulevard motel room... STEFANO died of an overdose of cocaine, morphine, heroin and ketamine.

... in the last part of the video IN BED WITH JOEY STEFANO there is a wrong information about the date of his death, the correct day is 26 and not 21.

His body was taken back to Pennsylvania where he was buried next to his father in IMMACULATE HEART CEMETERY. In 1996 CHARLES ISHERWOOD published a biography of this gay icon titled WONDER BREAD AND ECSTASY.

I was looking for a song that I could post in honor of JOEY... I first thought about IN THIS LIFE from MADONNA’s album EROTICA... but actually, the first song that came to my mind was one that belongs to the PET SHOP BOYS, somehow I thing it’s perfect to him.

Talking about the PET SHOP BOYS, they recently appointed a new manager, ANGELA BECKER, to represent them around the world. ANGELA is based in London and co-managed MADONNA from 2004 to the beginning of 2008 when she left work to have a baby... during MADONNA’s documentary I’M GOING TO TELL YOU A SECRET the singer reads a poem dedicated to her.

Well, my sweet JOEY, here is my song for your...

To JOEY STEFANO, with love.

“So far away from home... so free and so alone…
The boy who couldn’t keep his clothes on
loved dancing, all night long!”
