Madonna sings “Like a Virgin”? at the VMAs
Before the Sex book, the burning crosses, the Britney-Christina three-way and African adoptions, Madge was just a 26-year-old girl in a wedding dress. Performing her first No. 1 hit at MTV’s inaugural Video Music Awards, she danced on a 10-foot wedding cake in a veil, garters and her infamous “Boy Toy”? belt, then descended to the stage for a bout of simulated masturbation. The ensuing media firestorm taught her valuable career-defining lessons: Sex sells, and controversy is fun. It also cemented her relationship with MTV and set the bar for countless outrageous VMA moments to follow not a few of which also involved Madonna.
Unintended consequence: Diana Ross boob-jiggles Lil’ Kim
