Not only was Madonna the queen of 80's pop, she was also a style and fashion icon. So when there's an 80's party in the offing, it's no surprise that Madonna outfits are in high demand. Every girl wanted to look like her then and what better way to dance the night away than wearing a Madonna outfit. When you think of Madonna in the 80's, you see the large hooped earrings, the bleached blonde hair with roots unashamedly showing and tied in a ginormous bow, fingerless lace gloves and just loads and loads of bling. There you go, I hope this has given you some ideas.

Madonna in the 80’s

Madonna is the biggest “pop” star of all time and has been called “The Queen of Pop”. She has dominated the music and video scene since her inception in the early 80’s. Madonna’s always changing persona, music and style, has kept her at the top of the game for a quarter of a century. Madonna explores religious symbolism and sexual themes in her work.

With the release of “Borderline”, people started to take notice of this young very talented star. In 1984, Madonna’s “Borderline became her first top 10 hit song. When Madonna performed her “Like A Virgin Song” at the MTV Music Video Awards she rocketed to instant stardom with her highly sexual performance while dressed up as a bride.

In 1985, Madonna took on the stage and starred in her first film; Desperately Seeking Susan. This movie was a box-office hit and launched her film career. By then, Madonna’s fan base was teenage girls who idolized her style and persona. Teenage girls had adopted her trademark appearance from the film.

With the release of “Papa Don’t Preach, Madonna again challenged taboo and controversial subjects. This song battled the pregnancy while not being married issue. Another song/video that caused much controversy for Madonna was the “Like A Prayer Video’. This video was banned by the Vatican due to portrayals of stigmata, sexuality and religious symbolism. This was definitely not the end by far. In 1990 The Blonde Ambition Tour depicted a highly theatrical show featuring both religious and sexual themes. This highly controversial show paved way for her “Truth or Dare” documentary of behind the scenes of the tour and her personal life.

In the later part of her career, Madonna yet again pushed the envelope by releasing her “Justify My love” video. This video introduced S&M, bondage, gay and lesbian acts. Although banned by MTV deemed too sexually explicit, it became the highest selling video of all time.

Desperately Wanting to See Susan?

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:20:35 +0000

The 80’s is back! If not in time, then it's certainly in demand - you're here reading this blog. Old clothes thrown out at the beginning of the 90’s are slowly being spotted on the high street again, and the crazy hair style reminiscent of the great boom and bust era are once again all the rage – for some.

The merger of two iconic 80’s themes was attempted back in 2007 with Desperately Seeking Susan the Musical. Theme one, and obvious from the title, it was based on the hit 80’s romantic comedy movie which starred Madonna in 1985. And if that wasn't enough, it featured the back catalogue of Blondie songs in an attempt to get the heart beating and the nostalgia really flowing.

What of the plot? Well Roberta Glass is a suburban New Jersey housewife looking for escape from her boring life, and Susan is a street savvy New York Drifter, who with her boyfriend lead a far from dull life involving jewel heists, magic shows and rock 'n roll.

This classic rite of passage film caught a tidal wave in the 80’s (although the critics panned it - heathens) and the musical suffered the same fate - it too was panned by the critics. When you consider the music that this show was set to, it's a real tragedy that it couldn't sustain more than a two month run between mid October to mid December 2007.

But still, if a show can't pay its way, it's gotta go! Nostalgia don't mean diddly if it can't pay the bills!
