Madonna photographed inside New York City’s Danceteria in 1983.
“The picture is talking in a way. It’s saying ‘Look who I am. I’m not famous but I’m going to be.’ She didn’t drink much but she liked her Martini. I don’t think she smoked. Maybe I gave her the cigarette for attitude. I never saw Madonna smoking cigarettes as much as other people. She never did coke. That’s why she was Madonna, why she became as big as she did: because she was always in control.” – Maripol

well said ronald! according to madonna, she tried some drugs once, but she stopped them quickly. she never had drug or alcohol or misbehaviour scandals, like so many other artists.she loved herself very much for letting them to destroy her.she was (and is) controversial only on her job, for example sex book, like a prayer video and justify my love video.madonna is a great role model for her strength to manage the bad times, her devotion to her job and help people in need.
I Love this photo!! I remember that this is exactly how Madonna looked when I first discovered who she was…I was in the 9th grade…..I Love Madonna!!
she tried everything once I guess but we should look up to her as to what Maripol said – being in control. DRUGS, PROMISCUITY, ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES, all vices should not take control of us. Like Madonna, we should do the right thing.
I agree.
What a nice pic, it is strange to look at this kind of things after so long. it is hard to believe she’s Madonna. Being honest i love the way she looked,she was not glamorous at all but she was hot and that was the look that made the world crazy when she became so famous.
Great vintage pic!
i’ve read in early Madonna interviews, that although she was not
really into drinking or smoking, that she did indulge herself in of
all thing Ecstasy….
in one interview, she said something about,
how she did enjoy doing it sometimes, but she always ended up
talking or hugging folks who were normally mean or rude to her,
and that she felt regret the next day, because she would normally
not ever do that to folks who were that mean to her
go figure….
I dont think so or she’s a liar because in one interview for MTV
making the video of Frozen they ask her: have you aver try or test
drugs? and she say NO!
so… ?
she’s a liar
she said it in her Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame
induction speech, she addresses using X in
part of that speech
i suppose Madonna’s memory failed her
during the making of Frozen, or perhaps
it was something she didn’t want to promote
on letterman she said about the joint she smoked.
